A member of the National Association of Realtors, she also served as a presenter at Leading Real Estate Companies of the World. She attributes her success to perseverance, integrity and authenticity.

As a mentor to new agents and an advocate for collective prosperity, Malakhova believes in delivering results while fostering a sense of community.
