Victoria Blass

MBA
J.D. Candidate

Victoria Blass commenced her real estate career in 2004 in the heart of Tucson, AZ, with the sole ability to foster such from her mother’s small inheritance generated from the sale of the house her mother raised her in located in a lower-economic area called Maryvale in Phoenix, AZ. Her ex-husband started real estate one year prior, and despite being the sole provider to support their family’s real estate journey, she quit with the tenacity, feeling and strive to succeed in the real estate industry. Thereafter, the team they formed consistently generated positive income with the endurance to become the top agent in the company.

Accomplishments over her tenure include a nomination for the top 30 of 30 in the nation from the Arizona Real Estate Commissioner (former owner of the company of which they held their license), selection as panel presenter by the Arizona Real Estate Commissioner to train the industry on forward trends, selection by Fannie Mae Management to train other realtors® due to exceptional service, with her work being used as a national model for training as well. This was all during pregnancy and having a toddler (SaDee) that was ordained as part of the team (well at least SaDee went to the office daily and listing appointments), coupled with driving 2 ½ hours one way for her older daughter, Paris, to Scottsdale weekly to perpetuate her dreams of winning a ring in worlds for competitive cheerleading.

After working 12-14 hour days to accomplish her and her family’s goals, she was naturally ready to progress to her next lifetime goals and pursued law school. As a result of working more than the permissible amount per American Bar Association, she chose to attend a part-time law program, Arizona Summit Law School in Phoenix, 2 ½ hours away from her home in Tucson. Education was a priority in her life as her mother had a 6th grade education and growing up in an impoverished area, Maryvale (being the root of the National Fair Housing Alliance study to show foreclosure fair housing discrimination) was not the way she would maintain her life and future family.

Prior to her law school tenure, her and her ex-husband formed a real estate company with Victoria being the Designated Broker. Thereafter they divorced but maintained as business partners. During this effort, she migrated to co-own RE/MAX Results with another phenomenal lady, Sharon Ellsworth, as they maintain the largest RE/MAX in Southern Arizona. Of course during Victoria’s real estate business development she has maintained a Woman Minority Owned Certification understanding the relevance of this accomplishment and specialty.

Victoria will be working with the general counsel, Scott Drucker, at the Arizona Association of Realtors developing training and resource platforms for state application next month. Other law experiential base includes assisting the homeless in Phoenix with pro se assistance for legal matters to perpetuate the goal of home stability.

In the end, it is the beginning of a new journey, and success is on the near horizon with her next professional trajectory of law, concentration of the real estate brokerage, and newly developed Alegria Real Estate Group with her long-time friend and business partner, Janett Kraetz. Alegria, which means joy or happiness in Spanish, is condensed in one word what this journey involves. As Dr. Wayne Dyer notes, “Do What You Love and Love What You Do.”

Karen Rollings

Realtor / Associate Broker

My calling has always been Real Estate. I bought my first house when I was 20, moved in a couple room mates, and the rest is history. I have owned two brokerages and mentored over 200 people in the business. My real love (just behind being a Mom) however, is helping clients buy and sell their homes. I take great pride in being able to help members of my community sell their homes; but I also have helped dozens of people save their homes when the market collapsed a few years ago. I lost my husband to cancer in 2003. I had one child in college, two in high school, and one in elementary school. Owning a real estate business allowed me to continue being the soccer mom I had always been, and still be able to support my family financially and pay for colleges. I am so grateful for this recognition, and hope to be an inspiration to women in Real Estate.

Patricia Arvielo

President, New American Funding

It’s important to give mention to Patty Arvielo’s humble beginnings in order to fully understand her unique business perspective and leadership role in the housing industry. Born into a hard-working Mexican-American family from South Gate in L.A. County, California, Patty’s first exposure to the mortgage industry was as a young girl. At just 16, Patty landed a clerical position for TransUnion Credit. At 19, she was promoted into a sales position. Patty worked tirelessly to build Real Estate Agent and community relationships and doing so, ignited a life-long passion for service and pursuit of self-made, enduring success.

Over a decade later, Patty has worked to transform New American Funding into a national mortgage lender and servicer that funds more than $900 million in home loans each month. Under her guidance, the company has brought the entire loan process in house - origination, processing, underwriting, funding and servicing. She continues to actively contribute to the bottom line, originating and booking millions in home loans each month on her own, all while managing operations and sales for New American Funding’s headquarters, 100+ branches and 2000+ employees.Patty’s community involvement includes serving on the Executive Board of Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) Orange County. Patty has also worked, through her board seat with BBBS, to bring a new mentorship program in house to her company, New American Funding.

In the years following, Patty assumed a natural, often unofficial, role as orchestrator and champion for her sales teams and colleagues. She challenges her teams to take on new projects with confidence and determination. She gets to know the people she works with, genuinely befriending even competitors unable to resist her approachable demeanor and infectious love for helping others.Patty’s extensive background in mortgage lending includes DE Underwriter and VA LAPP Certifications. Very early on, Patty pursued her own underserved Spanish-speaking markets well before they were a popular and sought after demographic. In 1997 Patty was invited to lead the operations unit of an independent broker shop, and in 2003 she and her husband Rick Arvielo decided to launch their own mortgage company – New American Funding.

Patty is deeply involved in the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP), whose mission is to increase the rate of sustainable Hispanic homeownership by empowering the real estate professionals that serve the community. She serves as a member of NAHREP’s Corporate Board of Governors and has inspired seven of her New American Funding management level employees to obtain local chapter and board positions with the same group in their areas. In spring of 2013, Patty spearheaded the Latino Focus Committee within her organization, whose mission is to identify and address challenges Hispanic consumers face in their pursuit of homeownership and to enhance the quality of their lending experience. Patty is also on the Diversity and Inclusion Committee and the Consumer Affairs Advisory Council for the Mortgage Bankers Association. She is politically involved in the current and future states of mortgage banking, and frequently visits Washington DC to lobby on behalf of the mortgage industry and homeowners. She also serves as a member of the Fannie Mae Affordable Housing Advisory Council. Additionally, Patty resides on the Freddie Mac Community Lender Advisory Board which provides a forum for constructive dialogue between Freddie Mac and its customers.

Patty is the recipient of numerous accolades and recognition for her professional achievements. Among them are her selection as a finalist for the 2016 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award, winning a Silver Stevie® Award for the Woman of the Year category, and NBC Latino’s recent feature highlighting her life.
