Ever just have one of those days? I'm not talking about one of THOSE days. . . the ones that make you think it'd be a whole lot easier to just hang it up and bag groceries for 40 hours a week (no shame in baggin' groceries, but you know what I mean). I'm talking about one of those days where things were just clicking away!
When I'm busy, it's like a B-12 shot right in the keester. I love this business! I love the whole 'spinnin' plates' thing - making sure the details are covered, helping clients make informed and wise decisions, answering the phones and customer questions - it's pure energy to me. Sure, it's not all fun and games. Some of it is boring and monotonous. But the idea that, as an independent agent, I have a stake in my own future, in my own earning capacity - that's exciting to me.
Maybe I'm seeing this whole career through rose colored glasses, but I'm ok with that! I choose to not believe the hype. I don't live in a fantasy world, but I refuse to allow the 'fear mongers' to dictate how I view myself, my profession and my future. As far as I'm concerned, my next big deal is right around the corner. Yours may be, too. All we have to do - the ONLY thing we have to do - is keep going. Keep doin' what you're doin'. Don't quit. Adjust if you need to, but don't quit. Those who keep doing the right thing, regardless of how things appear, will eventually reap the harvest.
Busy day answering phones, filling out dull and boring update reports, helped a client sell their little house and was filling flyer boxes at 8:00 tonight (husband in tow - sometimes it's the only way we can get some time to talk). Nothing monumental... didn't close that million dollar deal (do we have those in Sumter??), but it was a good day to be a Realtor.
Just thought I'd share. Don't expect a whole lot of response, but if anyone else feels optimistic about our profession, feel free to chime in. And if you don't, but would like to - let me know!
Serving the Sumter County/Shaw AFB with pride. I specialize in military/corporate moves across the city or across the world. Call me today with all of your real estate/relocation needs!
The Air Force brought my family and I to Sumter in 1989. My husband Russ made the move from the military to the civilian world and we decided to make Sumter our home. Our 2 daughters have grown up here and gone through the public school systems (both districts) successfully. My youngest recently graduated from Sumter High and our oldest daughter completed her schooling and recently married a young man I am proud to call my son-in-law!
I am a 3rd generation Realtor, following in the footsteps of both my grandfather and my father (as well as numerous other family members). My passion comes from our own experience. As a career military family, we became accustomed to living on base and/or renting. We were under the mistaken impression that one needed large amounts of cash saved up and/or perfect credit history to purchase a home. Had we known how easy it is to purchase a home, we would have been homeowners far sooner than we were! The amazing feeling of holding the keys to your very own home is what I want to help others experience.
Homeownership can be a wonderful part of the story of your life, and the process of purchasing a home can be scary, exciting, overwhelming, frustrating and fun - all at the same time! Whether this is your first home purchase, your 10th home purchase or you need to sell your home, I'll stand right beside you through the whole process. From the moment you hire me until closing, I'll be with you every step of the way. It's what I do ... and I love what I do! Call me today! Let's write this chapter of your life together!
I specialize in residential sales - military and corporate moves, in particular. I've been through my own military moves, so I know the stresses involved. I've also been through numerous moves from one side of town to another and sometimes, those DITY (do it yourself) moves can be harder on the family than from country to country!
For buyers, I am available to assist in every aspect of the process - from finding a lender that suits your needs, hunting through and narrowing down the listings that meet your criteria, taking care of all of the paperwork and walking beside you all the way through the closing process! Whatever it takes - I will do my best to get it done!
For sellers, I know the neighborhoods. The most inportant aspect of selling your home is determining a fair selling price. Use my knowledge of the area and the system to price your home successfully! I am also a marketing madwoman! I love marketing! From flyers outside the residence to TV and newspaper ads, I do it all. I utilize as many as 15 different websites to promote my listings and will upload as many pictures of each property as the website will allow! My theory - the more pictures, the better! I believe there is a buyer for every home. It's my job to make sure I get my listing in front of as many qualified buyers as possible. Whatever it takes - I will do my best to get it done!
