When a woman's very essence is extraordinary, she influences everyone in her midst to relentlessly seek their own success.

She takes on business and life with a knowing that she was bred to achieve, greatly.

She fiercely challenges every barrier she encounters, refusing to yield until the obstacle bows into its rightful place as an-other opportunity.

She is Constance Carter.

From birth, Constance was told that she could be and do anything she dreamed or desired. With that ideal imprinted on her soul, she went out into the world always willing to bet on her-self—and refusing to relinquish until she won.

Today, she is wife, mother, author, bass player, investor, motivational speaker and CEO, a renaissance woman in every sense of the word.

After obtaining her real estate license in 2002, followed by her broker's license in 2006, Constance lent her brilliance as a sales leader to several notable agencies. Quickly ascending to seven-figure producer status, her transaction portfolio boasts an estimated $200 million and at first competed with, and then crushed, that of her peers. During that time, Constance did what every visionary does—dreamed a bigger dream for herself and the industry at large. She set her sights on establishing her own real estate brokerage and a business that authentically reflected her core values of holistic service and success. She envisioned a company that was not just in the community, but of the community—one that helped, educated and transformed.

And in 2010, Catalyst Real Estate Professionals was born.

She started Catalyst as a boutique real estate company, and the firm quickly ascended to one of the top real estate firms in California's Central Valley. With agents throughout Northern California, Constance is shifting the real estate industry from one that is driven solely by the transaction and led more by transformation. She is deeply devoted to helping as many people as possible to achieve the American dream of homeownership and will allow nothing to stand between them and their wealth-building goals. When she found faltering credit scores to be an obstacle many clients struggled to overcome, she delved into the topic, mastered it and garnered her Credit Expert certification. Constance penned her expertise in a book, Keeping Score: What You Need to Know to Make Your Credit Score Grow, empowering people with the knowledge to shift the trajectory of their financial futures.

With a passionate emphasis on hardworking Americans, Constance is leading the charge to educate aspiring homeowners about the opportunities for creating generational wealth through real estate. Along with her team of agents, who are as committed to the mission as she, Constance will forge a new path for success, one that is legacy-driven and rooted in reaching back to give while climbing the ladder to greatness.

Constance believes, emphatically, that anyone can do anything they set their minds to-if they are willing to harness the drive it takes to go for it. As a rising speaker and author, she has a motivational message for business leaders, urging them to uncover their own resilience and to find power in her personal story and a blueprint in her success.

An overcomer in every sense of the word, there is not an obstacle she will not face-and then conquer.

There is not a heart she will not inspire.

There is not a person in her presence that she will not propel forward into dreams more vivid, more vast, than they ever thought possible.

Because, after all, that is what extraordinary women do.
