In 2007 I quit a management position at a large financial services company. My goal is to be an entrepreneur, do what I want to do when I want to do them. After working 10 years in the corporate environment I did not enjoy the freedom to apply skills and learn new skills. I want to help people in my own way. Instead I turned to real estate and became a full time dedicated agent. Real estate experienced extreme price drop in 2007, 2008 and started to stabilize in 2009.

With many people unsure of the housing market, bank foreclosing on homes, I struggled in for two years in a new profession. Positive thinking with long term vision helped me through all the obstacles I faced. There were many sleepless nights thinking how I will pay for my mortgage payments, will I loose my house, where my next paycheck is coming from. The thought of having a life of my choice, the freedom to build the business I choose, and with the support of my family and friends I made it to 2009. This year has been phenomenal. Everything I took on made sense now. The hard work, the persistence, the endurance all paid off. This year thus far I sold 19 houses in the Las Vegas housing market hit hardest in the country. Home prices dropped 50% to 60% yet I am doing better than just surviving. I am rocking! My project annual income will be equal if not surpass my income in 2006 when I made almost 6 figures. The sky is the limit in real estate. I am looking forward to the years to come. This is the beauty of going after your dreams.
