Britt In The City

I'm back to my hometown! I moved back to Memphis, TN during the Thanksgiving holiday and I have really enjoyed myself. Just to give everyone a brief update as to my current situation... I am a licensed Realtor in MS & TN with Keller Williams Realty. I also got a job working with Jim N' Nick's Bar-B-Q in Cordova. I helped open the store this time 2 years ago so it has been fun getting back in touch with old friends and making new ones.

Now, please keep in mind that in this blog I would like to discuss my journey becoming acquainted with the big city of Memphis while I kick off my oh so successful career in Real Estate. The reason I consider it "kicking off" is because I have worked for 8 months as an assistant to several agents. I put their listings on several (ok, more like 35+) websites and updated their information daily. Before I came into general real estate I worked for a Corporate Builder out of Florida that assigned us certain subdivisions and we were given some specs and available lots to sell. The catch is, you make a percentage on selling anything in your subdivision but you can ONLY sell that subdivision. In a sellers market it was an awesome idea; even thought they build a great home, I knew it was temporary. I also worked for the Local Board of Realtors for a year and for their publication for almost 2 years so I definitely had a desire to learn more about Real Estate early on. (I love the marketing aspect also!)

But one thing past jobs can't teach you is how to write about your experiences and communicate with people to make new relationships. So I've decided to start this blog as a way to share with people my daily experiences as I go through the world making new friends and advancing my real estate career as a knowledgeable, professional, and personable Realtor that everyone wants to do business with and maybe go have a drink after work... Lol!

Consider this a journal, a day to day autobiography, or even a celebrity gossip blog! I want to show you what Memphis and it's surrounding areas have to offer. (And please know that I lived my whole life in Pope, MS about an hour South of Memphis. We had no bars, no attractions, and only one 24-hour gas station.) So I'm sure that I will find excitement in many of the simple things. I plan to review restaurants, events, and anything I find important to the attraction of Memphis. Now, I realize that some of this knowledge will be useless, but other parts of it may be vital. I do want you to be aware of nicknames for everything I give. For example: My restaurant, Jim N' Nick's BarBQ will always be referred to as "The JNN", and of course my Real Estate firm, Keller Williams Realty will be referred to as "KW". I also venture out with my roommate who I will call "Diva", but please know that diva is also a licensed Realtor in MS & TN and owns her own property management company known as Lane Property Management. Many other friends will be in and out of stories but I will refer to them with hilarious nicknames so that no ones business is "put on front street". (That is a phrase that simply means your personal life is out for everyone to know. A little something I learned in the "M'Town")
