What drew you to the career?
While buying my first home I became a little obsessed with the process. I loved working with our realtor and enjoyed the hunt of tracking down the perfect home to fit our needs.
After going through the home buying process I thought about being a realtor. I made lots of excuses about why I should not dive into self employment. I thought there were too many real estate agents out there, the market would maybe eventually ctrash or that I would have to save up money for too long before getting started. Finally, I got up the courage and quit my job at the time and decided I was going to be a real estate agent.
What did you want to be when you were growing up?
I wanted to be in politics- I even doubled majored in Political Science and Communications in college. I had the idea that I always wanted to help people bring about positive change.
What is the most rewarding part?
Nothing is more rewarding than having a happy client. I feel great satisfaction when I get a referral from a past client.
There are so many different parts of home buying that through the process you really get to know a lot about a person. It is really rewarding to be able to develop a relationship with each client and then see how happy they are when they finally get the home they have been saving up for.
Where do you do most of your work?
I work most often from my laptop which follows me everywhere I go- coffee shops are one of my favorite places to settle in.
What is it like to be a woman in your industry?
Safety is always at the forefront of my mind when meeting new clients or holding an open house. As a woman I always take precautions to make sure I am protecting myself.
