Why Real Estate?

As a school psychologist for 15 years, my career transition into real estate raised a few eyebrows and the big question "why real estate?" from former colleagues.  Understandable as the two seemingly have nothing in common. Nothing, except that they both have everything to do with families and family life.  Home and school are the primary settings in which we all grew up.  They shape us and our future.  The communities in which we are born and raised are forever imprinted in our hearts and become cherished memories as we move through our lives in good times and bad.  As real estate brokers, we no doubt touch people's lives for years to come as we work to find them the perfect home in which to live and raise their families.  Its so much more than a business transaction.  And it requires what I call tenacious patience -- a willingness to listen and work hard to find the right home for our clients along with the patience to find that right home several times before it is the right home to them.  As I learn this industry and build my new business, my foundation, my mission, will remain the desire to help my clients find the perfect house in a great neighborhood  that meets their family's unique needs and hopefully fulfills their wishlist along the way.  Afterall, our home is where our lives unfold, memories are made, and that very special place where we feel loved, safe and cherished by those we love.
