Virginia Cleven's marriage to a career military man has offered many challenges and moves. These experiences give her a multi-faceted background that helps her find real estate answers to accommodate a variety of lifestyles. Virginia is a graduate of the University of Nebraska with a bachelor's degree in Home Economics Education. She worked for the public schools in Nebraska for 18 months. Virginia then became the course developer and instructor for an arts and crafts retailer. After the birth of her first son she chose to open her own small wholesale business, designing and producing a gift line. That venture provided the flexibility necessary to carry on the duties of Mom to her two sons while her husband was traveling the open seas with the Navy. In 1987, with both sons in school, Virginia began to pursue her real estate career. She quickly gained recognition for high levels of performance in Pennsylvania. After 2-1/2 years, the military relocated the family to Hawaii. Virginia continued her real estate career and gained the reputation of being one of Hawaii's most professional, top producing agents. Virginia has been married since 1970 to her husband and has two grown sons. She now calls Sierra Vista home after having relocated numerous times with her husband, who is now retired. Virginia is an active member of her church in Sierra Vista and served in the position of Director for the Southeast Arizona Association of Realtors. She has also served as Grievance Chairman. Virginia believes that education is the key to top performance and attends as many classes and seminars as possible to acquire knowledge in this ever changing market. Virginia is a member of the National Association of Realtors, Arizona Association of Realtors, Southeast Arizona Association of Realtors, Residential Sales Council, and Sierra Vista Rotary.
