Agent Spotlight on Cynthia Tupman
Meet Cynthia Tupman! Cynthia Tupman lives in the Catawba Valley area with her husband David and 2 children. Although Cynthia has an incredible resume of working in other countries such as Costa Rica, Germany and Poland, Catawba county is the only other place she’s had the pleasure of calling HOME after immigrating to the USA. She loves the fact that this area provides a wonderful balance between larger cities and rural areas. Cynthia enjoys spending time with her family and dogs. She enjoys audio books and cooking. She also loves to learn about everything - moving here from another country meant she has had to adjust and become a person that can now contribute to this great country! If she wasn’t in the real estate business, Cynthia would be teaching children or caring for dogs. She said, “The way I see it, if I can help ease the life load of a young child or animal by what I have learned through my life, I would consider my hurdle and lesson from that time well spent because it allows me to help others.” The thing Cynthia loves most about her career in real estate is that she is able to guide people through a very stressful time in their life. Cynthia mentioned, “It’s exciting but not stress free! My husband and family say I have too much of a mother mind set, so if you don’t want a mother watching over your real estate transaction, then I am not your realtor! If you want to be cared for as if your mother was looking after you, then I am the Realtor for you!” Cynthia is not your average Realtor, she has also earned her Graduate of Realtor Institute (GRI) which is a designation that provides clients with extra knowhow in the negotiation, pricing and execution of your real estate transactions.
