BUFFY KIRKMAN

HI THERE, I'M  Buffy Kirkman

I'm the systems brain behind the scenes—and sometimes in front of a whiteboard—at multiple ventures. After 15 years as an elementary school teacher, I now channel my love for education and order into entrepreneurship. I’m one of three owners of Summit Edge Realty (despite never holding a real estate license), co-owner of Soin Staging Solutions, part owner of a property management company, and a founding partner of an Airbnb syndication group that’s successfully syndicated six short-term rentals.

I’m also a founding owner of Summit Wealth Strategies, where I help my community learn how to build wealth through flips and investments—minus the glitter glue and cafeteria duty.

When I’m not building businesses or fine-tuning back-end systems, I’m probably booking someone’s dream vacation (I’m a licensed travel agent), reading something with a plot twist, or trying to reason with Fiona, my French bulldog—a snorty, stubby-tailed chaos gremlin whose ears flat-out refused to stand up.

Most importantly, I’m wife to Roger and mom to Lian, my incredible son adopted from China, who is my greatest adventure yet (and who, unlike the dog, does not eat pencils).
