Growing up in an Air-Force military village in Taiwan, Roseline came to United States for graduate school in Albany, New York, with two suitcases in 1992. She knew no one and barely spoke English.
For the next two decades, she had a successful career as a librarian in public libraries and community colleges, and made Tempe, Arizona, her home, before starting a family and an adventure in real estate eleven years ago.
As a transplant, she is deeply in tune with our relationship with places; she knows how liberating it can be to put down roots and to have a sanctuary where you are free to not only be yourself, but be a part of the greater community.
As the broker, owner, and founder of Reliance First Realty, Roseline models the brokerage after her vision and sets the company’s service standards. In the last five years, her business has been 100% referral based, mostly from past clients.
