Instructors:

Judy Sharp

Judy Norman Sharp entered the real estate business in 1982 as a single Mom of three who wanted more control of her time and her earnings.

In less than six months, she was able to purchase the small brokerage where she worked.  The office was part of a national franchise that was failing in the tough economy of the early 80’s.  After one year that same office became nationally ranked in the franchise and the agents thrived under Judy’s leadership.

In 1991, Judy sold her office and moved to Los Angeles, where she started a sales career from scratch. After a few months in a depressed market, she had captured a huge market share and quickly built a thriving real estate practice.

In 1998, upon moving to Orange County, Judy joined a large independent brokerage as a manager and trainer. She has trained and coached some of the finest and most productive agents in LA and Orange Counties.  Many of them still seek her council after decades of operating their own successful practices.

After many years at the same brokerage, Judy discovered the Keller Williams business model and philosophy in 2011. She found that it was a perfect fit for her desire to serve and her own “win, win” attitude. Judy continues to teach at Keller Williams Pacific Estates, passing along her years of experience to agents eager to learn how to succeed in real estate.
