AboutI had my sights set on real estate since early in high school, when we would drive around my small town and see open house signs. I knew I wanted the personal and financial autonomy the profession would provide me. I have an entrepreneurial spirit at heart and absolutely thrive in an autonomous environment. I have several creative marketing outreach items. For example, when I sell a home, I put gifts together for the four surrounding neighbors in a box that says, “I just sold your neighbor’s house, I can sell yours, too!” I also have a FSBO box I carry in my car. Inside the house-shaped box, I provide a blank seller’s disclosure, shoe cover booties, some packing labels, a staging room-by-room brochure, a showing checklist and an “about me” card. When I drive past FSBOs, I drop by and offer them one with no obligation. It creates a great relationship by providing value without asking in return. In so doing, they often call me to list their house on the MLS.
