Submission AbstractWhen I was working two jobs—one as a server at a local barbecue restaurant—I had a set of regulars that I formed a connection with. These regulars came in one day with a top-producing real estate agent from my market who was impressed with how much I knew about my customers. He recommended that I consider getting my real estate license. He told me real estate was so much more than selling houses, that it's a human connection industry. At the time I was only 22 years old and I was eager to be a part of something bigger than myself.
I am living proof that when you embrace this industry fully, it will embrace you back. As a millennial, there are many people in my network who are convinced they will not be able to become homeowners. It is extremely rewarding to be able to work with someone who never thought they would be able to own property, introduce them to lenders who can set up a game plan for how to manage their budgets, and eventually close on their first home or investment property. I actually believe it is more rewarding the longer it takes to look for and find the right home, because my clients see I am truly by their side through the entire process and all the ups and downs.
