Affiliate Highlight - Chicago Title, Joni Cucino

Loving what I do is very important to me, as I  have built a great client base with excellent customer service and value to my clients with products and services for their business, also providing Realtor's with accredited classes. My  involvement with Mountain Metro Association of REALTORS® has been a great passion of mine and always will be. Working with the Association has been very fulfilling as I was Affiliate of the Year in the past. Providing value such as working on events in the community to bring REALTORS® and the public together is always a goal for me. My job is a great fit for me as I love working with people and establishing new and long lasting relationships. Real Estate has been my life since I was 15, both of my parents had their own Real Estate Companies and I grew up working in their offices. My sister Jan and I opened our own Property Management Company, which was very successful, having 175 properties. Another love of mine is animals,  I have worked for Veterinarians throughout my life raising all kinds of animals from babies such as Deer, raccoons, a wild Russian bore (that was two days old) and a calf. You have to remember I lived on a ranch in Texas for 20 years. Colorado is a beautiful place to live and I feel very lucky to be here, I look forward to meeting new people and establishing more relationships. Call Joni at 303-968-4138.
