About Us

Fast and Fair Home Buyers Team

We are a team of local home buyers in 13 different states: Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington. We are passionate about real estate and serving others by buying houses that have become burdens. Read our bios below.

After meeting each other in a women’s real estate investing network, we decided to combine our efforts and partner to become Fast and Fair Home Buyers. We came together because there is power in numbers and we are stronger together than on our own. As a team, we provide consistent, standardized service to homeowners nationwide.

Besides, we enjoy working together – genuine camaraderie, support, encouragement and enthusiasm. It’s cool that we like each other!

We love investing in real estate. We design and develop vacation rentals for people with pets, offer unique recreational experiences in tiny homes, and collaborate with others to buy and remodel houses. We are creative and resourceful in solving problems with burdensome houses. We have four cats and four horses and enjoy outdoor adventures together, especially when we can take all eight four-legged fur babies with us.

Michelle Samaniego

Early on in life, I experienced homelessness with my children, four girls under the age of 4, went through a divorce, and had to take on 3 jobs for my family to survive. Now married to my wonderful husband, Sam, I work in catering and have a baking side business – it is my dream to open a bakery. I was planning to retire, but discovered a women’s real estate networking group and joined this team to help others. I have a lot of empathy and mercy for people who are struggling in a distraught situation. I want to provide hope, support and resources to those who are stuck and unsure about how to move forward. I want to alleviate some suffering and get them into a better position in life.

Rhonda Jones

I am an Air Force Veteran having served in active duty for 10 years. My long-standing interest in real estate turned into a reality by joining a women’s real estate investing network and becoming a part of this team. I still work in the aerospace industry, but I am also building passive income through real estate to create future wealth for my family. I have two amazing daughters and am a recently published author of a young adult mystery novel. I love the team-building aspect and thrill of escape rooms – I have experienced more than 20 in different cities. I also like to cook and relax on the beaches in Florida.

I have a passion for real estate investing and purchasing homes, just as they are, even in challenging situations.

In addition to real estate investing, I practice as a Registered Nurse. I am a wife, a mother to two adult sons and a grandmother.

Aloha, I’m Kaiini from Oahu, Hawaii. After working for almost 11 years as a pharmacy technician at Tripler Army Medical Center, I realized I was not impacting my community as I wanted. So God led me onto a new journey in real estate investing to achieve my vision. My goal is to feed the homeless community along the Waianae coast and help provide solutions to homeowners facing preforeclosure on Oahu.

During 30 years as Montana residents, my husband and I have bought and sold several homes, as well as remodeled and built new from the ground up. We love all parts of Montana and currently divide our time between Billings and Missoula. I passed the Montana Real Estate exam in order to help homeowners find options for properties that have become a burden. Whether facing foreclosure, a bothersome rental property or an unwanted inherited house, our team can help find solutions that are blessing to all involved. Our motto is “Faith, family and friends” and in our spare time we love fishing, hunting and pickleball!

Monet Belton

I am a mother of three children and a wife to a police officer. When my husband was shot in the line of duty, he went into early retirement. After he got his real estate license, I left my career as a mental health professional and joined in our new journey in real estate. Even before we had children, we enjoyed driving through different neighborhoods and looking at houses. We have bought and sold personal property and want to create generational wealth for our children. We enjoy connecting with potential buyers, homeowners who want to sell, and real estate professionals. I joined this team to partner with like-minded women and help others.

Beulah Murari Rao

I come from a family that has always been involved with real estate. Both sets of my grandparents purchased, traded and sold property including large farming operations in India. So, I have always had a strong interest in real estate to build generational wealth for my family as well as helping homeowners who are struggling. As part of this team, I want to make a difference in my community and beyond. I enjoy traveling, meeting new people and listening to stories about their lives. I also find great satisfaction in researching health and nutrition solutions for improving quality of life, especially of my daughter and son.

Tennessee

Shère Daniels

I have a heart to serve my community. One of my passions is to help all people to have affordable housing, especially the homeless population. This passion inspired an interest in tiny homes and sustainable living, and retirement housing. A family member introduced me to a women’s real estate investor network and I soon joined this team. I enjoy looking at different styles of houses, like tudor and mid-century, and realized that real estate meets all my interests such as travel, meeting and helping people, and being creative with renovation and interior design.

Texas

Catalina Ortiz, local home buyer serving  Texas.
Catalina Ortiz

After having struggled through my own foreclosure in 2008, I have even greater empathy for other homeowners who are experiencing the same. When my roommates’ rents started to dwindle due to job loss, I fell behind on my mortgage payments and soon owed more on my house than it was worth. I want to help others understand their options in similar situations, especially when they feel helpless and paralyzed by the stress. I want to make a difference by helping others. I am a single mother to a wonderful son, supporting him in all his interests. I also love interior design and fashion and renovating homes back to being beautiful.
