For five years she mingled with Record Label Executives, wrote with other artists, briefly went out on road gigs, sat in with local and major artists, successfully showcased, sang at and judged writers for the Bluebird Cafe' and made Nashville her home.

With her music career up and down due to the uncertainty of the music industry, Alyse decided that, once again, she needed stability in her life.  Huge changes to the advertising industry and a large gap in her resume made a return to her prior career improbable so, following in her mother's footsteps and using the knowlege she was raised on, in 1999, Alyse decided to earn her Tennessee Real Estate license and give it her all as a full time agent/Realtor(r).

In 2000, Alyse earned her first award of Excellence from her Board of Realtors for high sales and outstanding service and has consistently kept the same level of service, receiving awards every year since then.
