Fun facts: Real Estate Agent recovering from working on Broadway and teaching
I've been in real estate since 2009 (way to call it Dave - go into during the biggest recession ever!) after Broadway collapsed. I'd always wanted to be in real estate since Broadway shut down (I was in lighting design) my husband pointed out that being unemployed was similar to a vacation but not identical. Having watched every Forensic Files episode ever made, I went to real estate school - just in case it was to be a very long recession (it was). Well, I took to it like a duck to water. Not sure why, maybe it was coming from teaching college for 20 years before B'way, but my clients trusted me and made me successful. Beyond that, it was fun, challenging (even today, I learn a few new things every week or two) and I got to sleep in my own bed at night rather than some hotel on the road. When Broadway revived and called me, I said I was busy and have never looked back. It all makes sense when I think about it - teaching college was moving students from one place to another - and real estate is very similar. I'm always answering lots of questions, and guiding people through one of the most complex transactions they will ever make - and on the other side of that they get a place to live! I've always been totally stoked about real estate. It's super complex and I know when I bought homes before being in the business I spent a great deal of time leaning on my agent for info. If you're thinking of buying or selling, it's important to get someone you like (you'll be spending a lot of time with them) and that you trust. Of course, I'd love you to choose me for the job, but it's important to interview a couple of agents to get the right fit. In the end, you'll get the right feeling from one of them - and that's the one!
