Meet Dejerae Trujillo

Today we’d like to introduce you to Dejerae Trujillo.

Dejerae, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I started my career in real estate at the young age of 22. Shortly after, I was recruited by the well-known luxury brokerage Sotheby’s International Realty for my ability to create high-quality luxury marketing material as well as my reach as a social media influencer. My time at Sotheby’s allowed me to gain extensive knowledge of real estate by working alongside some of the top brokers in Colorado. Over the past six years, I’ve made a few strategic growth moves that have landed me with the high producing team – The Abbey Collection at Compass Real Estate.

As a young mother, the flexibility of real estate has allowed me to care for my son while advancing my career. Additionally, it has allowed me to expand as an entrepreneur by starting my secondary business as the owner of Sip & Spray, a mobile spray tanning company.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Starting real estate at such a young age was a bit intimidating. Being in a career where you’re competing against 28,000 other agents in the state definitely becomes a challenge when you’re inexperienced and young. I had to work extremely hard to become the most knowledgeable to gain respect within the industry and gain the trust of my clients.

I’ve also raised my son single handedly so that has always created some obstacles but nothing we haven’t worked through. I have an amazing ten-year-old son that has adapted to a hectic lifestyle in order to further our success.

Tell us more about the business.
I specialize in residential real estate within the Denver Metro area. I’ve worked in all aspects of the business from luxury listings to first time home buyers and continue to do so. I’m known most for my real estate based Instagram – @sellinginstilettos. I’m definitely most proud of my growth in such a short amount of time as well as the knowledge I’ve obtained during this time.

In my second company, Sip & Spray, we do mobile spray tanning with high-end products. We specialize in group events such as bachelorette parties, fitness competitions, pageants, etc. I’m proud of the success that we’ve had almost instantly since starting. Being a newer company I was concerned that it would take a while to get the business started however, my partner Kim and I hit the ground running and have seen huge success so far.

Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
I don’t necessarily believe in luck when it comes to business. I do believe that what you put out into the universe you receive as well. Whether that’s hard work or good energy.
