| President Holly says "Welcome to the Club" to Marissa Rawson. Growing up in Orange County, California, Marissa Rawson is the eldest of two children. As a young girl, she would often visit model homes with her grandparents, imagining herself living in those beautifully staged rooms. Little did she know, it was just a pastime for her grandparents. After graduating high school, Marissa became a corporate trainer for the Cheesecake Factory, traveling across the United States to open new restaurants. In 2007, she opened the now-closed Grand Lux Cafe in Scottsdale Fashion Square, marking the beginning of her love affair with the Valley of the Sun. Over 13 years ago, Marissa met Alan, and after his retirement, they had a brief stay in Las Cruces, New Mexico. During their time there, they frequently traveled to California, always stopping in Goodyear for a cup of coffee. Nine years ago, Marissa and Alan moved to Arizona, falling in love with the community of Verrado, where they built their home. For over five years, Marissa has been actively selling real estate in Verrado and Victory, achieving the HomeSmart Elite Group Diamond level for the last three years. When not immersed in work, she enjoys giving back to her community. Together with Alan, she founded the Patriot's Day 9/11 Memorial and Climb, now an annual event in Verrado. Additionally, she serves as the Co-Chair of the We Heart Christmas Tour. Marissa is excited to join a group of like-minded individuals and continue contributing to her community. |
