Revamped and Refocused

Back in June, after the sale of my parents' house and their move, I took a little hiatus from real estate. I had concerns over several things and wondered if this was something I should stick with. Things were not going as planned, and I appeared to be at a standstill. However, during that brief break I was able to step back and reassess what I want out of this career and out of life period. Real estate is something that I have been interested in since my college days, and it's really too soon to give up on that dream. Instead of letting it go completely, I realized that I needed to refocus my energy and develop a plan that works for me. So I am revamping my business to reflect those changes.

Buyers Only
Although listing homes is a big part of real estate, it is not my forte. Instead, my passion is helping people find the home of their dreams. Since this is the case, I will only be working as a buyers' agent. I will also be working towards obtaining my ABR (Accredited Buyer's Representative) designation to gain even more insight on how to better serve my buyer-clients.

Real Estate Writing
This gives me an opportunity to combine two of my favorite activities. I love to write, and believe that providing useful written information will be an ideal way to connect with buyers. It also provides a potential opportunity to work with other agents, which I am excited about. This means regular updates to this blog with original content as well as freelance writing for other entities who are looking for a real estate expert.

After I progress in these areas, I will also take a look into home staging as part of a marketing offer for other agents and property management. I've realized that it is important to have some real direction and focus in this industry. After all, there is so much that can be done that it almost seems overwhelming! But now that I have a great game plan, I'm ready to play. Let's make some moves!
