Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
I have been a Realtor in this area for 11 years.
What is your primary product or service?
I list homes for sale and I assist buyers who want to purchase a home.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I developed an interest in real estate when I was 25 years old. I took the real estate classes but decided not to pursue real estate then because I had 3 small children and just put that interest on the shelf until my children were grown and my office job was being downsized. I took the classes again and got my license...decided to go to college and get a degree. I graduated from the Coles Business School of Kennesaw State University in May of 2000. I have a BA in Business Administration...and my Major was Finance. I love helping people.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
I think that knowing how I got to real estate shows my diligence in preparing myself for this career. I think it takes a lot of hard work every day...but you have to focus on multiple feeds of information...you have to be a multi tasker, you have to "like to learn--and relearn" because this business is non-stop information and retraining...and it is really fun if you're an "information and statistical" person. And if you like people...you'll love real estate even more. You have a lot to talk about when you're meeting people for the first time...plus you get to teach and inform them about real estate which is interesting to them...and they appreciate my knowledge and skill.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We have a Douglasville office, a Marietta office, and a Town Lake office.
