I’ve been in the real estate industry for over a decade and I’m the third generation of my family in the business. As you can imagine, I’ve worked in just about every aspect of real estate from paper-pusher to CEO.

Nowadays, a typical day involves being out in the community, not so easy in these times, but we still need to be out front supporting our neighbors. I find my best leads come from relationships in the many organizations and events where I participate.

A big part of my focus is trying to help people solve problems. Oftentimes homeowners don’t want to or simply can’t wait for their house to close in 60-90 days. We provide a way for them to sell their house this week. My days are spent finding these people and meeting with them to give them options.

Pros

The pros of my job are that I work on my own schedule. This allows me to do my most important job, being a dad. I get the opportunity to be there for all of my two girl’s activities and events.

Cons

The cons are the cyclical nature of the business. Right now, business is great. Interest rates are low and the market is hot. That isn’t always the case in real estate, so you must be prepared for the rainy days as well as the sunshine.

I love working in the real estate industry helping people make the biggest decisions and transactions of their lives.
