She claims to be an “advocate at heart” and is enthusiastic about helping first time home buyers and assisting them through the ups and downs of the home-buying process. The real estate industry in Salem has always been passionate about creating a strong sense of community and RE/MAX Integrity agent, Ashley Contreras, is no exception. Her moti- vation in her business stems from the desire to build positive and authentic communities in the place she now calls home. A Southern California native, Ashley graduated with honors from University of Laverne and then moved to Salem about seven years ago where she now continues to grow and foster communities around her. 14 • February 2019

ETHAN THURSAM 18 • February 2019

on the rise Tell us a bit about you, your family, where you’re from, schooling, and interests. I am a third-generation real estate professional, and credit my interest and passion for real estate to grow- ing up in a real estate family. I was originally from Forest Grove, OR, and have grown up in the Willamette Val- ley, and now I live in Corvallis.  Ethan, I know your family has a rich history in real estate. Tell us a little bit about your mom, Patty Schmitz, and grandfather, Steve Schmitz, and their involvement with real estate. Growing up in a real estate family meant that from an early age I was tagging along at open houses and running around the office looking for my mom and grandpa. Both my mom, Patty Schmitz-Thursam, and grandpa, Steve Schmitz, have been in the real estate industry for decades and have both contributed to my success. How did their life in real estate influence you and your decision to be an agent? Having a family with deep ties in the real estate industry made the deci- sion to pursue a career in real estate a natural one. My experience growing up launched me into my own career and helped me to succeed in the beginning. Tell us about your interest in community involvement. How are you involved, and why are you involved? I’ve been a member of the Corvallis community for the last five years while completing my degree at Oregon State University. Becoming an agent has allowed me to connect deeply with the Corvallis community. I am also a member of the Downtown Corvallis Economic Vitality Committee, which www.realproducersmag.com • 19

Having a core group of people, you can rely on for support, questions and advice is an invaluable tool that allows for individual growth as an agent. meets to discuss the present and future of the downtown area and how it affects the city and the members of the community. I understand that you are both a full-time real estate agent and a full-time student at Oregon State University – how do you manage a busy schedule? I am currently enrolled full time at Oregon State University, finishing my degree in economics with minors in business and sustainability. Being a full-time student and real estate agent, I have made time management extremely important to ensure that everything gets done. I know you have a special interest in investment real estate – tell us why that gets you excited. Investment real estate is what gets me most excited. Real estate is a service-based tangible asset with good flexibility and tax advantages that I believe provides the best overall component to one’s portfolio. With just under two years under your belt as a licensed real estate agent, you’re off to a fantastic start. What have you found to be essential to getting a career in real estate off the ground and successful in such a short period? Diversification has been the most important aspect of my early real estate career. I try to learn as much as possible and take every opportunity to work in as many areas of real estate as possible, whether that is residential, multifamily or investment real estate. I know you are the youngest agent in your brokerage; tell us about how you see yourself and how you believe others see you. How has that made you even more driven? Being the youngest agent at Town and Country has allowed me to grow into the agent I am today. As a young agent entering the business, there is not a lot expected from you initially, and this provides an opportunity to exceed expectations and provide new insight. 20 • February 2019

What would be your number-one piece of advice to a young individual looking to develop a career in real estate and be successful? The biggest advice I would give to young people looking to start a career in real estate is to surround yourself with the best people. Having a core group of people, you can rely on for support, questions and advice is an invaluable tool that allows for individual growth as an agent. How do you find the quality of life here in Corvallis?  Corvallis is a great place to call home. It is a very welcoming, supportive com- munity that provides a great environment for the full spectrum of community members, from students to families and retirees. There are countless opportu- nities to get involved in the community as well as get active in the outdoors. Finally, what do you find most gratifying about being a real estate agent? The most gratifying part about being a real estate agent is being able to help guide and facilitate, for most, people the biggest purchase of their life. www.realproducersmag.com • 21

24 • February 2019 AZUCENA’S CLEANING

business sponsor spotlight By Sonja Gumber Azucena grew up in Jalisco, Mexico, in a large fam- ily. Learning the art of cleaning by her parents, she helped around the house as part of her chores. Af- ter getting married in Mexico, she and her husband, Jose Najar, moved to the United States in 2000.   “When I moved to the U.S., I could not speak English, so I did a trade with the private Interna- tional School in Monmouth, OR, to learn English,” explains Azucena. “I became quite good at it and began to clean other businesses where I was getting recommendations for their family and friends to utilize my services and began to build my clientele. I also assist in fire restoration, offices and commer- cial buildings as well as residential.”   Azucena continues, “After getting my business up and running, my husband and I decided it was a good time to start a family. We now have three children, two boys, Brandon (14) and Emanuel (10), and their baby girl, Annabeth (2). Jose is a welder by trade but helps out on several of my jobs after hours.” The thing that sets her business apart is that the job is guaranteed. Customer satisfaction is a must. “I really like to clean and have had many years of experience. I offer great service with exceptional results. I pride myself in being very professional. I am bonded, insured, licensed, and certified as a small merchant business owner in the state of Oregon. I offer free estimates as well as being bilin- gual,” she explains. On the days she’s not cleaning, she enjoys hanging out with her family. She tells us that her children are super smart, and they try to get out to ride their three horses together as often as possible as well as spending time at the lake or river fishing as a family.
