Cort Dietz
2023 Parliamentarian Candidate
I began my career in the housing industry selling Modular and Manufactured homes in 1983. I have served on several boards over the years. I held several positions with the Jefferson County Park Owners Assoc. including President. I served on the Finance Committee for Good Shepherd Catholic Church for 5 years. All of these positions required a working knowledge of Roberts Rules. I have been a REALTOR since 2013 and a broker since 2015. I am married with 4 adult children and 3 grandkids. With the cyclical slowdown of our industry, it seems like a great time to be more involved with SGAR and serve our membership in this position. I would be honored to serve if elected!

Kelly Coffman
I believe I would be a great candidate because I will bring new & creative ideas with positive energy! I have a strong work ethic, passion for real estate & a love for helping others. I'm a team player and I can't wait to help our Board grow!
Since I was 18 I have always been self employed and held licenses in different areas of work. Over the past decade I have been a successful hair stylist and makeup artist. However, I was approached about being an agent, and challenge accepted. However, going through 2020 as a non-essential cosmetologist & juggling multiple jobs, I was wore out and felt completely defeated. As fate might have it, I then had a big medical scare that sent me to the ER in an ambulance. As I was physically unable to do hair anymore, I told my broker I was ready to leave the salon & become a full time Real Estate Agent! I took the leap of faith and in 2021 I closed 21 transactions! I absolutely love what I do and I am looking forward to another successful year! I was so busy juggling jobs before I didn't have the time to participate & wasn't able to learn about what all our Board does. However, after going to one of the events this year, I knew then I wanted to be a part of it all! I'm a team player and I want to be a part of the team!
Kellie Garner
I’ve been in the real estate industry for a little over 5 years and created an established clientele. Helping buyers, sellers, lenders, & agents be successful in the real estate market is something I’ve been passionate about since day 1. I have a genuine interest on what is unfolding within our market. I am always looking to broaden my knowledge and further my education in an effort to keep a finger on the pulse. I am looking to continue expanding my network, remain a point of reference for some, and also have the opportunity to lean into others.
This is an incredibly fulfilling industry that is ever changing & I want nothing but success and knowledge for all involved. Chuck Maher is who referred me to SGAR – a nomination that I do not take lightly. I look forward to pouring everything I have into this just as I have my real estate career thus far. I jumped into real estate 5 years ago after leaving the corporate world of AT&T for 9 years. My last position with them was as a retail sales manager. I was looking for a better work/life balance – I lived and breathed AT&T. I knew I wanted to start a family soon and this career path allowed me that flexibility. I have continued to increase my business year after year and became involved with different community organizations. All the while still achieving my goal of the work/life balance! I am a highly motivated, customer service driven and personable individual. These are some of the additional characteristics I hope to bring to the board!
I appreciate your time and consideration!
