Bonnie started out in 1988 as a stand-alone Real Estate Agent. She observed trends, needs and combined empathy for her clients needs with her tough negotiating skills. Because she understood and still understands the emotional rollercoaster ride home selling and purchasing can be, she fought for the best deal possible for her buyers and sellers. Bonnie quickly gained a reputation for being honest, hardworking and successful with her clients, and her business grew. In 1998, she added a Client Care Coordinator, and soon after buyer agents and other people in administrative roles around her, and thus The Mullinax Team was born! Today, Bonnie and her husband, Wes, run the Mullinax Team. She lists homes and negotiates short sales, mentors team members, provides training opportunities, oversees the marketing, speaks nationally at various Real Estate events and coaches Real Estate agents. She has brought her team to the top, producing volume and sales consistently to date.
