Meet Active RainMaker Gail Petrowsky

 

Gail Petrowsky

I went looking for a newbie blogger and came across Gail Petrowsky's name.  Gail and I are Facebook friends, but I wasn't aware she was a newbie on Active Rain.  We got a chance to speak yesterday.  Gail has posted some and gotten great response from the community.  If you get a chance to speak to her, you will understand why. 

Gail is quick, smart, funny, kind, passionate about her business and loves to help people.  She is very easy to talk to.  We had a great conversation about all sorts of things, including but not limited to Active Rain.

 

Gail is a life coach in the public and private sector with a passion for seminars, which she does around the country.  She also flips houses.  There is a common thread, she said, of changes and transformations in the two, the transformation to renovate houses and flip them and the transformation she sees in the people she helps.  Check out Gail's Profile.

 

Gail allowed me to Ring & Sing in the Rain with her and patiently answered the following questions:

 

How is business in your area?  Gail told me she just completed new video workshops that she was very proud to be a part of.  As far as real estate, she said it is tough in the northeast and central sectors of Connecticut to find a good deal, at this time, to renovate and flip.  It is taking longer in between houses, but it will come back full circle.

 

What do you hope to accomplish in your business in 2016?  The most important thing for Gail to achieve is making a difference - whether it be a difference with a renovation - finding the right house and the right buyer or a difference in helping someone with her coaching.  This is a woman who really cares!

 

What do you hope to achieve through Active Rain in 2016?  Gail was amazed at the warm response she got to the few blogs she posted.   She feels the Active Rain community is comprised of warm and kind people.  She hopes to blog more and develop more relationships.  It's "all about communicating," she told me, "being open and kind to people" is what makes a difference in her life.

 

And, yes, she is married to Joe Petrowsky .

About MeMy BlogWebsite

   

Elyse immediately ‘got’ us


We found Elyse on-line after working with another realtor that was not helping us find what we wanted. Elyse immediately ‘got’ us and showed us the right properties while providing encyclopedic knowledge of neighborhoods, dog restrictions, lifestyle options and benefits/trade offs between one house/neighborhood and the other. Elyse consistently provided important information at every stage of our process. As out-of-towners this was essential to our making the right decision. We couldn’t be happier or more grateful to Elyse for everything she’s done. Elyse is a rare combination of being a true subject matter expert and, more importantly, a genuinely caring person who looks after her people.
