Why real estate?

i find to be an exciting career and I love working with all sorts of clients from different backgrounds!

Money's pretty good when you can make the most out of a career in real estate. The skillset aligned with what I'm good at so I've been able to find a lot of success in my career

I kind of did it on a whim, I was a lacking direction in my mid 20s and I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life. I saw that getting certified as a realtor was relatively easy so I decided to pursue it and see what I could make out of it. 5 years later I'm still here and loving my job!

I've always been a people person and I had a few jobs in sales before switching into real estate so I'd say it kind of just happened organically for me

I chose real estate because I wanted to be my own boss, have control over my income, and help people achieve their dreams of homeownership. Real estate is a great way to achieve all of those things.

For me, real estate is a stable and reliable investment. It is also a sector that I am interested in and enjoy learning about. There are always new challenges and opportunities in real estate, which makes it an interesting industry to be involved in.

As realtors, our worst and best friend are the contractors, being friends with the contractor that remodelled a home you are going to sell is a plus because you can know for sure what kind of improvements were made to the house and why; and what kind of things are pending to be improved, that way you can provide real information to the client. You know what they say: a happy client always comes back to you.
