In the hardest times, you realize what matters most, and what you're truly capable of when everything is on the line.

In an instant, our lives changed. In 2020, when my son Josiah was only 5, he was diagnosed with cancer. Our days revolved around hospital visits, radiation, and chemotherapy. At the same time, my older son Xavier was facing his own battle. He was frustrated and shutting down at school, and no one could explain why. It wasn’t until a close friend who was tutoring him noticed signs of dyslexia that we finally got answers.

They both needed me more than ever.

There was no question that I was going to do whatever I had to for my kids. I left my job to care for Josiah full-time, while also supporting Xavier through his diagnosis. I picked up night shifts as a bartender to keep us afloat while also going through a divorce. As a newly single mom, I was at one of the most vulnerable points in my life—but more determined than ever to keep going for my children.

The truth is, I’d been building the strength that got me through that time long before it happened. In 2013, I moved from Akron, Ohio, to Georgia for my then-husband’s job, leaving behind my support system, my community, and real connections in the arts. My mom is a playwright, so I had always loved acting and performing back home. Relocating meant starting over in every way.

At first, it wasn’t easy. But I’ve always believed in pursuing your passions and finding a way. So I adapted. I got back into theater and film. I started baking for fun, and it turned into a small business. I even drove a school bus when my kids’ route became unreliable. Every challenge became a new reason to step up and figure it out. Rebuilding my life in Georgia gave me the confidence and resilience I needed to guide my family through the storms of 2020.

It was incredibly hard, but by God’s grace, Josiah made it through treatment and is officially cancer-free. If you met him today, you’d never guess what he went through. Xavier is growing more confident with his dyslexia and learning how to manage it. My kids have been my greatest teachers—reflecting the values I’ve tried to instill and inspiring me to keep living by them.

As we came out of that season, I knew what came next for me must give me the flexibility to prioritize my family and have control of my time. I’d been told for years I’d be great in real estate, and after my divorce, I was ready to go for it and do something for myself.

In my first year, I sold more than most new agents. I became a top producer and hit every goal I set. I figured it out one step at a time, focusing on uplifting others and making a real impact in people’s lives. Because of what I’ve walked through, I understand the comfort and strength that come from having someone by your side during life’s transitions.

I’ve learned that it’s possible to do what you love and still be there for the people you love. I still act, write, and direct. I sing on the praise and worship team at church. I bake when I can, and Sundays are for family. I go after what matters to me, and I don’t believe you have to choose between passions—you just have to be willing to work for it.

zIn April 2025, I married my husband, Torrie, and we blended our families, now sharing nine kids together. He’s my biggest supporter, and as a business owner, he’s encouraged me and taught me so much. When I reflect on how far we’ve come, I’m reminded that every challenge prepared me for where I am today. I feel truly blessed.

We’ve come through so much, and looking around now, I see how every struggle shaped me to be stronger, more grounded, and more committed to helping others navigate their own transitions. That’s what I bring into real estate. I listen. I advocate. I guide people through big life changes with empathy and care, because I’ve been there. And I believe—with faith, consistency, and courage—you can create a life that reflects who you truly are.

In real estate, I serve my clients with a high level of attentiveness, professionalism, and care. I take time to understand each person’s goals, concerns, and timelines, then create a plan that makes the process as smooth and informed as possible. I give you space to make your own decisions while offering strategic, yet honest advice, always aiming to protect your best interests. I focus on the details that elevate the experience, from personalized home searches to custom marketing that showcases your home. And above all, I’m committed to building a relationship that extends far beyond the transaction because I genuinely care about and enjoy the people I serve!

Sincerely,

LaTrece Dash
