Why do you love working in real estate?
I enjoy meeting new people on a regular basis from all walks of life and assisting in their biggest financial purchase in life is rewarding. A sense of accomplishment is felt when people are so very thankful for the knowledge and guidance I provide during their transaction. Flexibility of my schedule to be involved with my son is also very important.
Favorite Work Story
I had been an agent for about all of 3 years when I met a client who I took to view a home that had an elevator in it. Crazy as it sounds, we got stuck in the elevator and could not get it to open. Thankfully I had my cell phone in my hand and started calling my office to get someone to either come over or call the owners to get us out. About 10 minutes had passed and my clients starts hyper-ventilating and freaking out. She bent down and was trying to breathe the air from the little crack between the elevator floor and the house, gasping for air. I was so nervous something was going to happen to her. When she told me how panicked she was, I just blurted out, “Don’t worry, if I have to, I will kick this door down and get us out.” She stared at me for a minute and then began to chuckle and said, “Are you serious, do you think you can?” I said, yes, this door to the house doesn’t feel very secure, I think I can. We both started to laugh. Not even 5 minutes later the listing agent had gotten in touch with the owner and they arrived to let us out. It was the longest 20-25 minutes ever. I had never seen anyone who was claustrophobic react when in a tight space. We still keep in touch to this day and people who know the story always say, Now that is an agent who will do whatever it takes!

Fun Fact
I love old classic cars, hot rods and drag races. People always joke about how fast I talk, type, write and how I am always in a hurry and it definitely fits with my love for drag racing. First to the finish line!
