2017 was my first full year in Real Estate. I have spent the year both doing real estate and still teaching part time at my school. As the year went on and my active client based picked up, I have been quite a busy bee! But I would not trade that for anything, and am grateful for the work and prosperity.
I have accomplished a lot of things in this crazy year that I am proud of. I have closed on multiple properties and helped many first time home buyers. I purchased my very own home for the first time! And most recently I learned how to navigate the complexities of a truly difficult sale (I was foolish enough to think up until then that my real estate career might be smiled upon with only easy deals.) As a result I have learned a lot and am feeling more confident in the field every day. It is not easy to learn a new career! I know that was the same when I first started teaching, but it's been so long now I can't even remember what that felt like. I know that one day (hopefully soon) I'll look back on the beginnings of my real estate career and feel the same way. The biggest thing that I have learned is that I could not have done it without a lot of support. I am backed by an amazing team at Price & Co Real Estate who make me feel more confident and competent every day. Furthermore, I could not have done it without all of the clients this year who knew I was new to the game but trusted me to help them with their home buying! Finally, as I have started to see Equity for Educators grow, and I have started to work with Landed as they expand to Colorado, I have learned that I truly have a passion for helping make teachers' lives a little bit better. I know that this is something I want to continue to focus on and work for in the future. I hope you all have had a wonderful 2017, and I look forward to helping you in the upcoming years!
