Submission AbstractI never really considered a career in the industry, however, until I found myself working as an assistant for a real estate agent and REALTOR I watched as he helped friends and family with real estate transactions—whether it was an investor building a portfolio to pay for their child's future college education, a newly married couple searching for their first home together, or empty nesters downsizing to their cozy spot to enjoy their golden years—I saw how much joy he was able to bring to them. I found myself making suggestions for creative marketing strategies, wanting to give some pointers on negotiation tactics or effective communication, and itching to edit listing descriptions.
I realized that real estate combined many of the things I loved over the years—writing, creative problem-solving and educating.
As a young professional under the age of 30, the majority of my sphere is comprised of people around my age. I was nominated as Best Agent for First Time Homebuyers in 2023, and have taught free community seminars on the topic of first time buyers and sellers throughout the years. There is something so incredibly rewarding about helping to educate someone about the process, breaking down what can feel like an overwhelming or daunting endeavor into a clear and concise timeline. I strive to always make the transaction feel exciting and fun, celebrating the little wins and achievements along the way.
