"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is a strength undefeatable" Helen Keller, 1940
One of the certainties of the real estate profession is it is constantly changing! Keeping up with the advances in marketing strategies, technology, legal aspects and financing is a real challenge. But it is those challenges which keep the profession so fascinating with such great adventure.
Over the past 12 years of my real estate career I have managed to help many sellers sell their home and find a home whether they were downsizing or relocating. I also have help buyers to find their dream home. I truly enjoy working with sellers and buyers and building lasting relationships with them. During these past years I have enjoyed meeting and working with people that I actually call them family. One of the biggest rewards a Realtor can have is walking away from a closing and to know that you went the extra mile for either your buyer or seller.
My challenge as a professional Realtor is to discover the "dreams" of each buyer and then help make them a reality. Communication is the key to success in real estate. You never want to take a buyer to homes that has not met their criteria. Usually when that happens is when they become frustrated with you and start to question am I working in their best interest or mine. Who wouldn't!
As a Realtor, our standards are set at a higher level. When I'm working with a seller and go into a contractual relationship as their Realtor, I market their property to highest and best terms possible. It is my responsibility to locate a buyer at the highest price and best terms possible for the seller.
I am very grateful that I get to continue to have the opportunity to assist friends, relatives and business associates with all their real estate needs.
