Agent Bio:
Tiffany J. Hanks

Philosophy

My goal as a real estate agent is to provide you with excellent service and knowledge to make your transition as smooth as possible. I recognize that it can be stressful to purchase or sell your home. My purpose is to determine your goals and then to help you reach them. Please contact me for a no obligation consultation. We can sit down and determine your needs and goals, then work together to acheive them.

Education

I graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in Visual Arts. During that time I also studied the Spanish language, industrial design, and linguistics. While I attended BYU I took the opportunity to participate in a NOLS Alaska Mountaineering course for a month and was able to live on an Alaskan Glacier with other NOLS students, learning the basics of mountaineering. After graduating BYU I pursued a Masters of Education degree from Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah. I really enjoyed this program but was unable to complete the degree because my husband and I decided to move to Spokane. I am currently pursuing an MBA from Gonzaga University with an emphasis in Accounting.

Work Experience

I have worked in the outdoor industry most of my life. I grew up teaching swimming lessons in my backyard. After moving to Utah to attend college I worked at Deer Valley Ski Resort as a children's ski instructor. During that same time I also worked as an office manager at a local Hang Gliding and Paragliding shop. (Utah, by the way, is an excellent place to learn these sports. The Point of the Mountain has some of the best wind and terrain for teaching in the country.) After learning to Hang Glide and Paraglide and working in that industry for a few years I decided to try something new. I accepted a position at Wasatch Powderbird Guides, a helicopter skiing operation based out of Snowbird, Utah. There I eventually became the office manager, client accounts manager, website designer, graphic designer, and merchandise coordinator. It was an excellent experience in learning how to organize a small business. When my husband and I moved to Spokane I stayed on with Wasatch Powderbird Guides overseeing their client accounts. With the encouragement of many of the guides, who are also real estate agents, I decided to join Windermere and work in the real estate field.

Other Info

Aside from being active in biking, skiing, and running, I enjoy throwing pottery, painting, reading and working in my yard. The highlight of my day is being able to play with my son. As you can see he is a very funny and cute little boy. Some friends and I also organized a small preschool and so I actively teach and organize activities there. If you live in South Spokane you will most likely see me pushing my jogging stroller with two large husky mixes harnessed to my waist. My husband, Kenji, attends Gonzaga University's School of Law.

Give me a call if you have any questions. I would be happy to help you!
