A Few Changes!

My professional journey has been a story of growth driven by creativity, care, and communication. I started my career as a registered nurse (RN) and eventually became the youngest head nurse at Sinai Hospital. This experience gave me a solid foundation in empathy and listening qualities that guide me in all my pursuits. Nursing allowed me to connect deeply with people, which has been invaluable in my later roles.

I was married to the love of my life, and together we have a lovely daughter who inspires me every day. Each experience has shaped my path, and I cherish the lessons and memories I've learned along the way.

I loved being a mother, but I needed a sense of purpose during school hours. I decided to take a pottery course for fun, which unexpectedly turned into a passion. As a ceramic artist, I channeled my patience and attention to detail into creating freeform art pieces.

My work was displayed in design galleries, and I found joy in sharing my creations with others. This phase of my life was all about self-expression and the appreciation of beauty.

When a car accident stopped my ceramic art, I found a new passion in real estate. My nursing background helped me understand clients' needs and handle high-pressure situations with grace. It made me realize there are no emergencies in Real Estate.  I could see potential in properties that others might overlook. As a real estate broker, my tagline, "Sell Your Home With Margaret Rome," became a symbol of trust in the Baltimore area.

I also host a live radio show called "All About Real Estate".  I help buyers and sellers, sharing tips and insights about buying and selling homes. I share my decades of experience through this platform with stories and lessons learned in hopes of educating the public and the real estate community. 

Throughout the years, I have transitioned from a caregiver, wife, mother, artist, broker, and broadcaster. My journey is a testament to reinvention and lifelong learning, all while staying true to my values of people, passion, and purpose. 

Yeah, I guess there has been change!

Hmm, I don't think that I recall you begin a nurse, but perhaps it slipped my mind, haha.  I love that you and Debe Maxwell, CRS have had so much success in real estate after being nurses!

Good morning Margaret. Once again you demonstrate how you used your life experiences as a firm foundation to make positive changes. Many might have used the same experiences as a quicksand pit and sunk. So kudos to you as a positive change artist. Enjoy your day.
