For years I was in the Corporate Management world really wanting a change.....and although without a good handle on how I would move forward, one day decided to give my notice without any other job in mind. Yikes what have I done and what do I do now!
Real estate had always intrigued me and I was doing research continually simply because I enjoyed it. So with a strong determination to become in charge of my own destiny I decided to get my license and enter into a totally new career. I ran into many naysayers who thought I was crazy and told me that I would never last; there is no money, the hours are long, etc.
I am a very motivated person and it seemed that the more people that told me not to get involved in real estate the more I became determined to prove them wrong and exceed both their expectations and mine as well. So , I enrolled in Real Estate school to begin my next career. I finished school and passed my tests came the next major decision .... where do I go....... who else to call but my long time REALTOR Ken Clark. Ken referred me to Dale Clayton & the Launch program. I was so excited to be part of the team and knew I had so much to learn and had so many questions. My initial interview with Dale made it sound like it was so easy. Launch was never dull, just by implementing the tools that were taught helped me succeed. I received my 1st contract while in the Launch program. Thanks to Barbara & Gerry for making me look like an experienced professional during a listing contract, looking like I actually knew what I was doing. Then came my 1st FSBO, Dale encouraged us to get out & give it a try.. afraid to call, fear of rejection,,, yet Dale always mentioned we had nothing to lose just follow the book. I got the listing & sold it within 30 days...she is a great client & has sent referrals my way.
Everything that was taught in Launch is still a big part of my routine.. I personally set goals high goals, have exceeded my own expectations over the last 2 years! You have to be the best that you can be at all times...many times I have helped my clients clean their homes, stage & de-clutter.. and held their hand through the process of selling & buying. There is so much satisfaction in helping people and then knowing that I have made clients for life. Good people refer good people and my phone rings weekly with calls from my referral base.
My office at Center Pointe has been the best everyone is so helpful. Time and time again help and guidance have only been a call away. Thanks Dale, Barb & Gerry... You are the best!
