Gigi Cavanaugh is an agent for Bureau Real Estate. She started school in her home state of Connecticut beforelanding
at the State University of New York, where she studied marketing with a
focus on civil law. Once school was over, she decided to stick around
for a while. “Once you get the rhythms of New York down, it’s hard to
leave,” she says. “It becomes part of who you are.” She spent most of
her time in Park Slope in Brooklyn, working with Gabrielle Roth, the
founder of the 5Rhythms Ecstatic Dance and Raven Recording. “I loved it.
Gabrielle and her husband Robert were amazing people and a huge
influence on me,” she says. “They’re why I got into graphic design. I
started as a part-time assistant and eventually became their Advertising
Director. With their guidance and energy, I flourished doing something I
enjoyed and still enjoy dabbling in.”
Gigi spent time in Utah when she was growing up and she loved to ski; hitting
slopes in Europe, Canada, and throughout the U.S. She eventually became
a ski instructor. This minor detail in her life would provide her an
out when she eventually decided it was time to leave New York and
broaden her horizons. “It’s funny that skiing, which was such an escape
for me, gave me a way to leave the city and eventually brought me back
to the mountains of Utah,” she says. “Life can surprise you sometimes.”
When her stint as a mountain patroller in Utah ended, she’d thought
she’d continue west to California, but a graphic design position opened
up in Park City and she stayed. That was almost 20 years ago.“
"I
started in a graphics job at Prudential, and eventually learned the
business,” Gigi said of her early days in real estate. “I’m lucky to
have met and worked with some wonderful people. It’s why I stayed on.”
With her strong marketing skills and head for details, she was an
indispensable partner to top producing agents at Prudential, and later,
Summit Sotheby’s, where she eventually became an agent herself, earning
her license in 2007. “This is a people-centered business and to be
successful, you have to understand what people want,” she says. “To do
that, you have to listen and pay attention. People are sharing things
that are important to them.”
