Andrew – Web Developer IV

Being a dad rules, but being one of two full time working parents can sometimes feel like working 10 simultaneous full time jobs. However, WolfNet helps by being extremely supportive and flexible to family life.

Bob – Software Engineering Manager

Working in technology at WolfNet allows me to better connect with my kids in their tech-centric world. My eldest is strongly considering going into computer science, and I’m able to provide some guidance on that front. The work/life balance culture at WolfNet empowers flexible scheduling when needed to accommodate crazy kid schedules.

Grant – Director, Sales & Business Development

The overpriced latte on the desk is replaced with a coffee cup that reads “I love you daddy.”  Pictures on the wall of you and your friends are replaced with pictures on the wall of your kids. Work hours shift from 9-6-to 8-5 to spend one more hour with them before they go to bed.  The biggest change is the biggest reward, your kids.

John – Front End Engineer II

With flexible hours, I don’t have to miss out on my daughter’s life.

Ryan – Account Manager & Designer

While the whole experience this first year has been crazy, its been comforting to know that my WolfNet family is understanding of what its like to become a new parent. The support they have given us, really has allowed us to have a healthy work life balance.

Colleen – Account Manager

Being a WolfNet mama is the greatest! Although my daughters are grown, I often share what it means to work in a tech company that is supportive of women and is open to the ideas that we bring to the table. Plus, there is no greater sense of pride than working with a committed, dedicated team of professionals like the WolfPack.

Leela – Database Developer

Being a mom is so much more than I ever imagined, and I can’t get enough. It’s more exciting, more exhausting, more rewarding and more draining, easy to figure out and totally confusing. The love, hugs, kisses, my goodness. Being a parent is the most intense experience of my life. Nothing is more precious than having a baby. My memory is full of sweet and tender moments.

WolfNet has been an amazing company to work with, surrounded with good people who have always understood me being a mom and working woman. An ear to listen to complaints and tears. Without WolfNet support, it would be very difficult to do all that I need to do both jobs. I work because I love it. Kudos to every mom out here. None of us are doing it perfectly, but every mom I know is doing her best.

Regan – Customer Service Manager

Being a mom can be one of the hardest jobs there is. WolfNet’s flexible time off policy, gives me a sense of ease. If my son gets sick or hurt, I don’t have to stress or worry about how much vacation/sick time I have accrued. The entire team is understanding and they would want me to leave and make sure he is okay.

He is a young adult now and it is fun watching him do more adult things. I had him drive me to work one morning, he had never had to deal with rush hour traffic before. He asks me, “You do this everyday?!?” It was a good laugh for both of us and I think it gave him a deeper appreciation of what it means to him, that I have a great job that I am willing to travel for.

Stephanie – HR Assistant

As a first time mom-to-be, working at WolfNet through my pregnancy has been such a smooth transition.  Having a manger who is also a mom, means having a supportive environment that many women miss out on when they workplaces that don’t have women in leadership.  It’s been great to have things like flexibility with doctor’s appointments, knowing that I have the trust of my manager that I’ll still be able to accomplish my job.

For International Women’s Day, we asked our fearless female leaders, who assist in driving WolfNet forward, what it is like working for a company that helps to break the glass ceiling. This is what they had to say:

Liz Nelson

Director of Product Development

I’ve spent my entire professional career at WolfNet, a company that has always championed women and men alike. Our management team is an almost even split between women and men, actually skewed slightly toward women. I don’t ever sit in a meeting and think about the number of women in the room vs men, and I consider myself very fortunate for that. It wasn’t an intentional effort to have a balanced management team, rather WolfNet cultivated a team based purely on merit. The fact that this resulted in a balanced team I think demonstrates that thinking of people in terms of gender is antiquated and without basis.

Regan Richardson

Customer Service Manager

One of the great things about working at WolfNet is the amount of women in each department. Women in tech, sales, support, management and at the executive levels is empowering for everyone that works here. When you are able to see women in these roles, it allows you to know that they are possible for you as well. Working with women who genuinely want to see you shine and encourage you to do so makes it very easy to get out of bed each morning.

Laura Wahl

Operations Manager

I feel lucky to have many strong women role models that I look up to and that have helped shape my professional development. I feel luckier still to be able to work with some of these people on a daily basis! Being in an office with strong leadership makes me feel proud.

Lee Wilka

Business/HR Manager

I appreciate the overall diversity of our teams, and the way that has come about organically. We don’t limit ourselves to hiring or promoting based on gender, rather we always strive to find the person whose skill set best fits the role and team.

Jennie MacIntosh

Chief Operating Officer

As a female COO, I take my responsibility as a mentor to my team very seriously.  Helping those around me navigate paths for professional growth (career milestones, salary negotiations, leadership opportunities) is a passion of mine as I believe teaching our staff members to invest in themselves is an incredible skill to master.  I am proud to be part of a company that takes pride in having a diverse workforce.  We are 100% committed to finding the absolute best person for every role at WolfNet and believe firmly in equal pay and opportunity for every member of our Pack.

Having a biography page can provide the confidence to a potential client that you will be a good fit during their home buying or selling journey. They may be impressed by your knowledge of the community, your extensive list of satisfied customers or your experience with price negotiations. Use your bio as an opportunity to show off your skills, experience and market knowledge.

Videos are consistently better at engaging buyers, as well as a more efficient way to highlight the features and benefits of each property. You can get started easily and create your first videos with easy-to-use software you probably have on your smartphone or laptop like iMovie, Lumen5, and Nero Video. With a plan and a vision, you can create compelling video, upload it to your site and start seeing benefits of increased traffic and higher quality leads.

Testimonials and reviews should absolutely be part of your online presence. Create a specific page on your website to share testimonials and cross promote them on social media, linking back to that page. Buyers and sellers will appreciate the honesty of your customers and have a higher probability to reach out and inquire.

Who wants to get involved in a property with a pending offer? Make sure your clients can easily view the contract status of your properties, keeping their focus on realistic purchases. The more information you provide to your clients about the property, the more knowledgeable you look.
