KAT
Licensed Realtor and Fluent in 3 Languages
Kat was born in Ohio, but didn’t stay
there long. Our most cultured team member,
she has lived in: Cuernavaca, Mexico; Barcelona,
Spain; Merida, Venezuela; Madrid, Spain
and spent all of her summers in various
cities in Germany. She earned her Bachelors
degree from DePauw University in Indiana
and went on to Middlebury College in Vermont
where she received her Masters.
Kat has always had a lifelong passion
for real estate. She started out doing
new home sales in the early 90’s
for two of the most prominent builders
in the region, but then moved into re-sales
when she felt limited by her buyers’
home choices. Addicted to seeing homes
(she used to go house hunting for fun)
it was only natural to turn her enthusiasm
into her full time job.
Kat met her husband Robert, a prominent
area lawyer, on Capitol Hill in 1985.
The two hit if off not only personally
but also professionally. With Robert,
Kat is a principal in a construction firm
which averages 8 million in sales per
year. The company has done masonry installation
for most of the large homebuilders in
the mid-Atlantic region. The business
helps Kat to keep a pulse on the latest
and greatest trends in construction and
gives her knowledge of upcoming neighborhoods
in the area; great information to have
for her clients who want the newest, most
spectacular homes in Northern Virginia.
Kat, Robert, their daughter Christina,
and their crazy long haired Chihuahua
currently live in Fairfax Station. |

SUNNY

From the minute Sunny was born, she was
destined to be a realtor. With both of her
parents in the business for as long as she
can remember, she literally grew up around
the world of real estate. She spent her
childhood days living in West Springfield,
where she graduated from West Springfield
High School. After graduation, she moved
onto George Mason University where she earned
her Bachelor of Arts in Communications with
a concentration in Interpersonal Communications
and Marketing.
While attending college, she started working
for Bruce & Tanya as an assistant but
quickly moved her way up to a licensed realtor
in 2003. She enjoys working with both buyers
and sellers and feels that she can see both
sides of the transaction which benefits
her clients tremendously. She’s an
extremely friendly, down-to-earth agent
who truly has her clients’ best interest
at heart and loves her job.
Sunny married her husband Seth in 2005.
The two currently live in West Springfield
with their two boys, Ethan and
Dylan. Most of her free time is
spent with her energetic kids at local
recreation centers and parks and catching
up with friends. She also feels blessed
that she gets to spend so much quality
time with her mom, dad and younger brothers
and sister who live just minutes from
her house. |

RONNIE
Office Assistant, Courier
Ronnie was born in Fairfax and has lived in various homes around the Burke and Springfield area before settling into his current home in Cherry Run. He developed his super friendly “get along with everyone” attitude by growing up the middle child of three sisters and two brothers. His mom also runs her own day care so being around people is something he’s grown very used to. He graduated from Lake Braddock Secondary School in 2008 and is currently attending Northern Virginia Community College where he plans to get his Associate degree before moving to George Mason University to pursue a degree in marketing. To get a head start on his marketing career, he is learning (literally from the ground up) what all goes into marketing real estate by heading the Bruce & Tanya flyer distribution team. He spends many of his days out in the neighborhoods Bruce & Tanya like to call their favorites.
In his free time he enjoys spending time outdoors as much as possible. He loves fishing, Frisbee golf, longboarding, wakeboarding and playing lacrosse (which he’s been playing for 12 years now). |
