    About

    As a seasoned Realtor and mom of three, I bring both heart and hustle to every real estate journey. Since 2018, I’ve helped families—especially those looking to upsize and grow—navigate the buying and selling process with confidence, care, and clarity. My passion for real estate began in 2016 through property renovations with my husband, and that hands-on experience still fuels my approach today. Whether it's helping clients envision their next chapter or advising on smart investments, I aim to make every step smooth and rewarding.

    Rooted in faith, family, and community, I love integrating my personal life with my professional one. Our kids have grown up learning about real estate alongside us—watching renovations, attending open houses, and even helping on-site. That shared experience has shaped not only our family values but also my unique approach to client relationships: grounded in trust, dedication, and the belief that your home should support the life you’re building. It’s not just about houses—it’s about creating spaces where families thrive.

  • From Special Forces to Glamping Resorts: Building a $35M Lifestyle of Freedom with Zander Kempf
    2025/10/03

    Listen in as Erin and Zander discuss:
    • How Zander went from military service in Iraq to building a $35 million real estate portfolio
    • Why he pivoted from multifamily housing to the untapped niche of RV and glamping resorts
    • The creative financing strategies he uses to secure unique deals
    • How his team markets glamping resorts for maximum occupancy using travel sites, SEO, and influencer partnerships
    • How passive investors can earn monthly distributions (not just quarterly) while also enjoying perks like free stays at the resorts
    • … and much more!

    About

    Zander Kempf is a real estate investor and developer specializing in RV and glamping resorts through his firm, Clear Summit Investments. His strategy? Acquiring, scaling, and branding midsize resorts that generate long-term cash flow and financial freedom, but more importantly, provide investors with the opportunity to redefine success and build a life on their own terms.

    As a former US Army officer, paratrooper, and Special Forces support with a deployment to Iraq, Zander sought a life where freedom wasn’t just financial; it was personal. He turned overlooked real estate opportunities into scalable, high-performing assets to create authentic freedom for himself, going from a single home purchase to his now over 35 million dollar portfolio. But for him, investing has never been just about returns. It’s about the power to choose, design, and live a life that truly aligns with who you are.

    Now, living in Hawaii, prioritizing his love for adventure, balance, and health, he’s proof that real estate isn’t just an investment; it’s a vehicle to unlock the life you actually want to live. And now, he’s helping others do the same.

    • Replacing “shoulds” and people-pleasing with a plan centered on energizing people and value creation that ripples into referrals.
    • …and more!
