Real Estate is the only passion I’ve ever had. My background is in New Home Sales, and things were fabulous there for a few years. I was lucky enough to catch the ride through that insane and wonderful rollercoaster we experienced. But then the market shifted and I wanted more opportunities. I wanted to be a part of the 60K + listings in Phoenix instead of selling one builder and being at their mercy.  I knew how to be an order taker though, and things are much different these days than lining people up and drawing names out of hat. (Gosh I miss that!) So, what was a girl to do?

My theory has always been “Go Big or Go Home”  I wanted to work for the number one company so my only obvious choice was Realty Executives. I was lucky enough to have someone recommend launch to me, and I was completely inspired by her success.

Having the support system behind me was comforting and enabled me to start my career with confidence. But my biggest question was where do I start? Ok, so I want go after FSBO’s, I want to farm, I want to market to my sphere of influence. That’s a good strong start but really how do I start?

Do you really know how to sit down and set you goals? I didn’t ! How about marketing yourself? I am still trying to find my tag line!! I wanted to learn how to tap back into my past homeowners and market to them and reintroduce myself.

Launch gives you the structure you need to start, the directions and the road map. If you ask nicely they might even fill your tank! They truly have so much to offer. It’s not just the 30 day class, its the on going support, panel discussions, transaction coordinators, coaching…etc.

They will teach you how to be unique, go the extra mile and be a top producer. I decided that I wanted to excel at my customer service. I want to do all the fluff behind the scenes to wow a customer and keep them for life. Some of the simple things other Realtors may not do to set myself apart. I can not tell you how many times I have heard “Thank You! You didn’t have to do that”. But I did, and they remember.

I love what I do. For the first time in my life.The most important thing I learned from Launch is to set goals, put systems in place to achieve your goals, lead generate, and convert to clients.  I am only a few months out of launch and already well on my way to a fantastic 1^st year in real estate.

Thank You Dale, Barbara and Scott!
