Kari Lyke

My name is Kari Lyke and I would like to introduce myself with a short background. I began my career with an advanced degree in the medical field and after four years of practice, I transitioned into real estate, founding and growing a successful investment company in Florida from the ground up.

I knew nothing about real estate, did not own any real estate and did not know what a mortgage was when I bought my first investment property. Im comfortable being uncomfortable and I learn quickly.

Over the past 13 years, I’ve owned & managed our multiple family-owned businesses, including our real estate brokerage, real estate investment company and information technology consulting company, overseeing both operational and support functions with a hands-on approach.

In 2020, I decided to step back and take more time to raise our family as I continued to provide a support role for our companies while my husband and team continued with the day to day management of the companies.

One year ago, we decided to move to the beautiful state of Texas. With the move, came a new chapter in my life. I am interested in the Executive Assistant position so that I may work with an already established team here in Texas, as well as be able to transfer my strong skill to help executives reach their goals.
