THE STORY OF RED HAT PROPERTY SOLUTIONS

With retirement looming (Ken is a fire fighter coming up on 30 years, and Cheryl has been an elementary school teacher for 20+ years), Ken and Cheryl had a goal to work together in real estate doing what they love and wanted to share their passion of real estate with others. Through the years, with their team, they’ve developed a solid foundation of real estate knowledge, the expertise and resources necessary to navigate any transaction, and have the integrity to follow up on promises. Early on, as they began to develop the company and carve their niche in the big world of real estate, they quickly realized that there was a distinct need for certain real estate services they originally did not foresee. So, they decided to create a set of companies - where in collaboration with one another, they would offer a package of services under one large umbrella, known as “Red Hat Property Solutions.”

Cheryl and Ken have been married for 30 years and both are closing in on retirement from their respective careers. Cheryl is an Elementary School teacher and loves the poem “Warning” by Jenny Joseph:

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter. I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens . . . But maybe I ought to practice a little now? So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple. As for Ken, he has almost 30 years in the Fire Service, working the last 18 as an Officer (Lieutenant). In his Fire Department, Lieutenants wear Red Helmets. The business name of Red Hat Property Solutions made a perfect fit.
