More Than Jus a Sale: The Real Reason I Love Being A Real Estate Professional

For the past 17 years, I have had the privilege to work in a profession that allows me to align with what I love to do, and that is to help people.

Many of you may think that guiding people through the home buying and selling process is relatively simple. Sure there are many things things that are straightforward such as making appointments, showing houses and doing paperwork. However, when you examine and look at the big picture in 3-D as a real estate professional, you are doing much more than finding a beautiful home on so many levels.

You are helping people make major life decisions about their future.

Remember what most of us feel when we think of home? We recall memories, feelings, holidays and special times that we equate with feeling safe and secure. This is exactly what I think about when I am working with my clients.

We are planning ahead for you to make new memories.

The fun part is, that my clients show me their enthusiasm about their future and share their dreams with me. What a privilege that is to be part of that journey. It's wonderful when the whole family is part of this process. This adds more spice to the mix.

Kids are funny. Depending on their ages and personalities, they react differently. Younger kids will often say, "Why is Kelly here again?" "Does Kelly live here?" Or, “Is Kelly going to live with us when we move?” Of course, I take that as a compliment!

Some children love to look at houses and act like mini-agents. The houses that have toys in them are definitely at the top of their list! Others come reluctantly but they all love picking out their new bedrooms. The cutest thing ever was one of my client’s children made me handmade thank you cards with pictures of the family and the house after they were settled in.

I take pride in guiding my clients to make the right home buying decisions and know its more than just a sale - it's their future.
