ABOUT THE FORD GROUP

A full-time, full-service agent, Desiree Gillespie has lived in Tulsa her entire life and very familiar with residential listings in Tulsa, Bixby, Broken Arrow, Catoosa, Jenks, and Owasso. After graduating from East Central High School, she attended Shaw Academy where she received her certificate in social media.

Desiree’s previous career experience includes management positions in the corporate sector, and working as an event planner, experiences which helped develop the customer service and relationship-building skills that she brings to her buyers and sellers today. “Knowing people and understanding their needs is the key to being an exceptional real estate agent,” Desiree explains. “I accredit my success to my past work history in customer relations.”

Desiree also owned and operated her own sales distribution business called Local Daily, LLC, which sold paper products to small local businesses. This experience taught her how to over-come rejection, client retention and negotiation techniques, order maintenance expertise, accounting methods, and on-line and social media marketing knowledge, all necessary skills in the real estate field. “Owning my own business gave me sales experience which transfers seamlessly to my real estate business today.”

Desiree spends much of her leisure time studying world events and reading geographical articles. She enjoys listening to music, observing nature, and traveling. But most of her free time is spent caring for her eight baby parakeets!
