MEET MACKENZIE

Hi! My name is Mackenzie (you can also call me Mack, Kenz, or Kenzie.. all names I will respond to)!!

 

A Cincinnati native, Ohio runs through my veins. I take immense pride in my Buckeyes and Who Dey roots. Ohio will forever hold a special place in my heart.

 

Since 2017, I've proudly called Raleigh my home. It didn't take long for me to feel that undeniable urge to lay down roots here. Shortly after my move, I crossed paths with my partner, Stephanie, and together, we've started a little family with our little furbaby, Paxton.

 

The source of my strong work ethic and drive is undoubtedly my mother, a successful corporate career powerhouse. My dad, on the other hand, instilled in me his knack for task management and analytical thinking. It's from both of them that I draw my playful side, always remembering that "there is little success where there is little laughter."

 

Inspired by my Uncle Bryan, a seasoned commercial real estate investor, I obtained my real estate license at the age of 18. While I briefly explored software sales during a four-year hiatus, which led me to Raleigh, I soon realized it didn't satisfy my entrepreneurial spirit or provide the meaningful impact I yearned for. So, I found my way back to real estate. Looking back, I wouldn't change a thing. I owe my gratitude to my family, friends, and colleagues for their unwavering support during this exciting and nerve wracking transition.

 

A quote that has resonated with me throughout the years is, "When you know WHY we do what we do, everything falls into place. When we don't, we have to push things into place." – Simon Sinek

 

In early 2023, I made the bold decision to venture out on my own and founded Driftwood Residential, a boutique brokerage built on positive energy and genuine connections. Our core mission is to get things done – whether it's buying, selling, or investing in real estate. We're here for it all!

 

Happy you’re here and looking forward to meeting you to hear about your story!!
