Submission AbstractReal estate is more than just sales—it's the art of marketing. Since receiving my marketing degree from the University of Nevada, Reno, in May 2020, I’ve focused on the fact that we, as agents, are the brand. Agents like myself are not only advertising the listing. We are advertising our strengths and skillsets to potential clients with every interaction we have. To thrive in this industry, you have to know how to carry yourself professionally without losing the human connection that captures people's attention. As my own career has evolved, I’ve realized my “why” goes deeper than just the business. I’ve seen firsthand how a home holds the story of a family across generations. To me, real estate is about the privilege of honoring those legacies and helping families transition into their next chapter with care.
