GRASS VALLEY, Calif. — The Betsy Hamilton Real Estate Team is pleased to announce the recent addition of Sharon Currie, a Realtor with more than 20 years of experience in the industry, as its operations manager.

Currie, who moved to western Nevada County nearly two years ago, served her own clients over two decades throughout Santa Barbara County and Santa Ynez Valley areas. In June, she joined the Betsy Hamilton Team, a RE/MAX Gold team in Grass Valley.

“I could not be more excited about Sharon joining our team,” said Betsy Hamilton. “Her vast amount of experience in real estate, as well as her professionalism and organizational skills, already is making an impact for us and our clients. It’s reassuring to have her assistance in meeting the needs of our clients throughout our real estate transactions, knowing they’re in the hands of a competent and trusted real estate professional.”

“There isn’t much I haven’t seen, done or experienced in the real estate world,” Currie said. “There is no better teacher than experience in this business. I take my responsibility to focus on clients’ needs, their protection and bringing value to the relationship, very seriously. Integrity, honesty and transparency always play major roles in every transaction and relationship.

“Now in the sunset years of my professional life, I have taken a step back, lending my vast experience to the Betsy Hamilton Team at ReMax Gold, where I manage the back office day-to-day operations, transactions and relationships with the occasional open house and showing property to clients adding to the enjoyment of my work,” she said. “The Betsy Hamilton Team leads by example and exemplifies my career-long dedication to a very high degree of accountability, professionalism and integrity.”

Currie said she and her husband moved to Nevada County after looking for a place to eventually retire that was “beautiful, affordable, had good weather and offered an active lifestyle.”

“A very hard combination to find!” she said. “After looking for 12 years, in this state and others, we finally found nirvana.”

She and her husband are parents of four grown children and five grandchildren. Two of their children live in Nevada County, “transplanting from the Central Coast after they saw the amazing life offered here in the Sierra.”

Along with her family, she said her horses and dogs, as well as food and flower gardens, are her lifetime passion.
