K erri O'Hara began planning a career in television broadcasting at the age of eight. She recalls that she never considered working outside of the news industry. Then, when her first child was born, Kerri came to the realization her priorities had suddenly shifted. Kerri had recently relocated to Boise, Idaho, and was sure of one thing: she didn’t know what she wanted to do professionally. After some genuine soul searching, Kerri came to the conclusion that she didn’t want to stay in television. At the same time, she knew that a traditional desk job held zero appeal for her. When Kerri made the decision to become a realtor, she jumped in feet first, finishing her last television taping on a Friday night at 11 o’clock and beginning real estate school the following Monday morning. Kerri initially felt a bit out of place as she adapted to her new hometown of Boise. It was Kerri’s former television agent who encouraged Kerri to utilize her on-camera skills to feature Boise as the next big “up-and-coming city" on YouTube. Within a couple of months, Kerri’s phone started ringing and a new flourishing career in real estate was born.
