Why Real Estate?


 

Well, I was introduced to Real Estate as a young child around the age of 8 or 9.  My mother, Mila was in banking for many years and one thing led to another, she went to real estate school.  BAM, she became a Real Estate agent.  Although this was an adjustment period for me in many ways because her career grew and grew, it was also a stepping stone to the agent I am today.  You see I watched her, listened to her, and often mocked her behavior.  I attended showings, open houses, spent time on  office phone duty, new construction sites, put signs up, took them down and listened to her discuss transactions.  She was a machine; she worked tireless hours, and completed thankless jobs to meet her client’s needs while providing for our family!

My mother Mila’s real estate career begin before the wide use of the smart phone; her tools were an office phone, a pager and an MLS book.  Yes a book printed monthly that she paid extra to have every month.   This book gave her insight into the listing on the MLS service.  Was it outdated? Well yes, and she would spend many days searching this book to find the perfect home for her clients, do a Certified Market Analysis, and keep up with new listings on the market.  The office of around 15 (a guess) had one computer to search the multiple listing and enter listings.  She spent long hours at the office, driving contracts back and forth, faxing, making calls.  I could go on for days all the information I have learned, modeled and watched her complete with real estate. She basically put us on the map, and she begin to spark my interest, some days for the good in real estate and well some days I wondered if I could put up with the things she put up with.  It was not until I got my license in college in 2005 did I really begin to understand how much work she put into her real estate career.

So the answer to this question, it’s not just that simple. You might ask why I am giving you so much, information about my mother, well she is the reason I am in real estate.  She captured my interest; she opened doors that we (as a family) never dreamed of opening when she became an agent.  Yes I have seen the good side, the bad side and the ugly side of real estate and I love my chosen career path. It’s the most rewarding job I have ever had or experienced!  I Love most everything about it, yes its exhausting, some days its thankless, it’s always hard work, and most it’s the most challenging job I have ever had.   My days are always different and I strive every day to provide my clients with the best service they can receive from a real estate broker. 

So why real estate?????.........  Basically as cheesy as it sounds I love it!  My mother was my initial inspiration; she still is along with shoes, jewelry, and purses!  I truly enjoy helping others purchase and sale property.  It’s the best feeling when you close a real estate transaction and truly feel you have poured your heart into the investment of not only the real estate but your clients as well!The bonus then comes in shoes, jewelry, and purses!  J
