My journey to real estate has been a unique one. Here’s how it all happened.
Selling your home? Get a home valuation.
Buying a home? Search the local MLS.
Today I really wanted to spend some time introducing you to my story and how I got into the wonderful world of real estate. Let’s get right to it by going back to 2004.
I moved to Atlanta in 2004 after getting out of a career in military intelligence for the U.S. Army. I was stationed in Hawaii and while I was out there, I was given the option to either buy or rent a house.
I ended up buying a place that cost the same as if I would have rented one. When I moved to Atlanta, I had to sell it and I decided to sell it FSBO. I felt like I could do it on my own and although I did, I did leave some money on the table. After I sold that place, I made a little bit of money and decided to give a career in real estate a try in 2004.
"This is the story so far, but it’s not over yet."
I had my real estate license in just a month after I moved to Atlanta, but I was more interested in investing than selling at first. Later, I started working with builders and sold new construction for years. That went really well until 2013, and it also carried me through the recession.
When that came to an end, it was time for me to change things up a bit. I knew that I wanted something different, so I went back to working with individuals and found out that I much prefer this to working against buyers.
I moved to Keller Williams, started my own company, and I’ve been helping people buy and sell homes in Atlanta ever since. I serve on the agent leadership council at my brokerage with pride and I enjoy where my career has ended up now. I’ve still kept up on my real estate investing, but now I have much more freedom to work in real estate the way I want to.
This is the story so far, but it’s not over yet. I plan to continue being involved in the real estate business for years to come.
Thanks for listening to my story. If you have any questions about me or my team in the meantime, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
