After 17 years as a high school German teacher, I became licensed in real estate in 2003 and have been selling houses full time ever since.
The transition from teaching to real estate sales was not that big of a leap. Success in both careers comes from focusing on the needs of the client and then everything else falls into place.
By meeting clients where they are—be they first-time home buyers, step-up buyers, right-sizing buyers, buying condos or single-family homes—and listening to their needs regardless of price, then giving them the best advice based on current market trends and 20+ years of experience, I get the job done.
