First-Year Realtor Outpaces Peer Sales Average by 500 percent--Named Rookie of the Year

By
Real Estate Agent with Space Simply - President & CEO

Despite an historic mortgage crisis and lagging home sales, I sold more residential real estate in 2008 than any other first-year agent in central Iowa, earning the title ‘Rookie of the Year' by the Des Moines Area Association of Realtors (DMAAR).

I sold 31 homes in 12 months-500 percent more than the typical central Iowa realtor in 2008. The average number of sales among central Iowa's more than 1,500 licensed agents was 5.4 transactions in 12 months. I was also a top selling agent at Remax Opportunities, Inc., in Urbandale, beating out many seasoned and experienced realtors. My areas of concentration are Waukee, Clive, Urbandale and West Des Moines.

My first year real estate success is the result of hard work, great clients and embracing technology. I like to tell people that 'I have a Blackberry and I know how to use it.' It's a new age in real estate and technology is King!

In college, I came across the saying, ‘Good enough never is' and I immediately made that my mantra as an agent. I am grateful when someone asks me to help them sell or purchase a home. For most of us, it's the biggest transaction of our lives. I take my clients' trust seriously and am sensitive to each individual's unique needs.
