Lynn O’Keefe has a passion for people and loves helping them find solutions that work for them.
O’Keefe grew up on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and enjoys sharing her love of the area with her clients. “I grew up here and absolutely love our Coast and our way of life,” she says. “It’s a blessing to be in a position to share that with others.”
Rather than a particular moment, she says her clients have been the biggest impact on her career. “Every moment I get to work with my clients is impactful for me,” she says. “Every deal is different, every situation is new, and that keeps me coming back every day to do it all over again!
To young female entrepreneurs looking to follow
in her footsteps, O’Keefe says, “Don’t stop following your dreams. Your current space in life and your age does not matter. I chose to raise my family and then start my career. It has been a great experience for me and you will know when the time is right for you.”
O’Keefe says the family she built with her husband has been her greatest success. “The support I get from my family has allowed me to be successful in my business life,” she adds.
Supporting woman-owned businesses is vital to the success of any community, a truth that O’Keefe knows firsthand. “Woman-owned businesses are especially important as so many women find themselves supporting their children as a single mom or needing the income to supplement the family income.”
An interesting fact about O’Keefe that many don’t know is that, while she loves and lives on the water, she can’t swim! But that doesn’t stop her from enjoying time by the pool with friends and family.
