Lewis has been a licensed real estate agent for 18 years but worked as a hobbyist until she teamed up with her friend and real estate partner, Jennifer Teske. The two got serious about the business, and in their first year of total commitment to real estate, they sold 46 homes. Since then, the team has increased their volume in leaps and bounds — completing an 61 transactions last year and ramping up to an impressive 100 transactions in only the first 10 months of 2015.
