Submission AbstractI truly believe we’re not just selling homes—we’re selling a way of life. Dropping out of college to pursue this career was terrifying, but I was determined to succeed. That dedication led me to purchase my own condo at 20, join a luxury brokerage at 25, and become the team leader of a real estate group at 26, where I mentor multiple agents. Despite my growing success and increasing sales volume each year, I remain committed to serving clients of all ages and financial backgrounds. No matter how far I go, I will always have a passion for helping first-time homebuyers and sellers.
I host two open houses each month and attend brokerage events to expand my understanding of Houston’s housing market and local hotspots. I’m naturally drawn to highly successful people and have even volunteered for top producers in assistant roles, working for free in the past to gain firsthand knowledge and expertise. I stay top of mind with clients and prospects through consistent communication, including weekly and monthly newsletters that provide market insights, home tips, and local highlights. I also donate to TREPAC, supporting real estate advocacy efforts.
I’m always finding ways to grow personally and financially. I taught myself about the stock market at a young age. No one close to me was knowledgeable on the topic, so I found resources to educate myself. Through persistence, I built a successful portfolio that now generates enough in dividends and capital gains to support my lifestyle if ever needed.
