AboutWhen it comes to generating business from my sphere of influence—whether it be upsizers, downsizers or first-time home buyers—I go out of my way to break bread with them either over lunch or a quick cup of coffee. My goal is never to just ask for the business, but to truly build an authentic relationship. A lot of my clients have come from former classmates and referrals. I love rekindling old relationships and creating new ones.
Growing up, I was never very good at starting conversations, and I was fairly shy. The impact college had on my real estate career is that it helped me get out of my comfort zone. While I am still not the most outgoing person, I truly value one-on-one intimate relationships and hearing people’s stories. I have an Instagram page called “Living Chicago Suburbs,” where I create content and connect with local businesses to collaborate and lift up one another.
