History:
I have been licensed to sell real estate for more that 20 years. My love for real estate can be traced back to childhood. Homes can bring memories rushing back in the same way that a particular song or a smell can. My grandmother and great grandmother lived in a lovely old house on the mountain in Pikeville, TN. When I step into certain old homes, the memories of the time spent with my great grandmother and her wise advice come rushing back. When I was 3 years old my parents bought their first home in the suburbs of Winston-Salem, NC. There were new homes being built in the neighborhood and my siblings and I explored those homes as they were being built. Every home has a personality. When you walk into a home it may spark your imagination and dreams for the future or bring back fond memories from the past. When buyers find just the right house their imagination and creativity soars. When sellers leave their homes it can bring back memories and stir deep emotions. Buying and selling real estate is about so much more than money. It is rewarding and fulfilling to help people through this journey of financial decisions and deep emotions.
When I first started selling real estate, I realized that the having a goal to be successful and make money as a real estate agent might compete with the goal to help your sellers make the most money on the sell of their home and you buyers get the best deal. I heard over and over that volume of transactions will make the agent more money. One way to increase volume is to let your sellers to take less and your buyers pay more and hurry to the next transaction. Some agents fall into this practice because it is the path of least resistance. Over time they lose their passion for helping people buy and sell real estate as the goal to make money takes over. However, those agents who love what they do treat buyers and sellers the way they want to be treated and everything else, including compensation, falls into place.
