Full Bio: Katrina Flores joined SVN/Walt Arnold Commercial Brokerage, Inc. in 2020. She was born in San Bernadino CA in 1972 and became a resident of Albuquerque NM in 1974. Her skill set and experience lie in leadership, management, coordination, sales, negotiation, and problem-solving. She always has a positive attitude, treats every contract with the utmost discretion and confidentiality, and maintains integrity while working on any project.   Katrina has always been a get-it-done type of person no matter how big or how small the project. Katrina owned the first all-male hair salon in Albuquerque NM, offering manicures, pedicures, gentleman cuts, colors, and more. As a young single mother raised by an only father and 5 older brothers, she decided to pursue a career in a field that was familiar and in high demand. She owned, operated, and managed Maximus Professional Care for Men from 2000 to 2010.   After selling the salon, she went to work for a real estate attorney who specialized in business law, personal injury, probate, and entertainment law. She quickly developed a comprehensive knowledge of real estate practices and procured her real estate license in 2015.   While running her business and raising her children, Katrina also found time to give back to the community. She fostered children in her home and still gives her time to The Heart Gallery of NM Foundation. Here she works with aged-out foster children via sponsorship for programs that teach life skills, college assistance, and education and workforce training.   Katrina congruently worked in NMs budding film industry as a Set Decorator for several Lifetime Television Productions and reality shows such as “The Biggest Loser.” Katrina’s hobbies include acting, modeling, and singing. She has danced professionally with Baila Baila Dance Academy for 30 years, honoring a traditional New Mexican style dance, Ballet Folklorico.   There is nothing this woman can’t do!
