Hello happy to be here!!

Hey there! I'm from the Mississippi Gulf Coast and have been a realtor for three years. I’m gearing up to grow my business as I look toward retirement from education in about five years. My big goals are to get more visible, stay organized, and be extra proactive with my clients. Excited to learn and connect with all of you!

Who's got an awesome transaction coordinator flow chart for buyers side and sellers side transactions?

Hey Y’all 🌟 I work w/ lpt Realty as a newer agent, but not new to real estate. Relo'd & moved 13x back & forth across the country over the past 23 years (think it's about 20+ times total over 30). Built 5 new construction homes & not done yet. Yup, crazy I know 🤣😂 Looking at possibly Wilmington NC for our next stop... though I do love parts of the FL East Coast. Lived in Miami South Beach back in the late 90s when it was super cool w/ all the art deco & culture. My core focus is suburban residential Luxury New Construction in Williamson & Wilson Counties especially for ppl relocating to the area. And, looking at adding hotel luxury residential high rises in Nashville to my tool bag 🏙️ Needs... probably more on how simplifying & streamlining "all" the things... without another new 'robust' tool that merely complicates & creates more work. Y'all know what I mean 😆

Yesterday out of the blue, a new client called me. He was raving about how much he loved my videos. He loved my personality and wanted me to help him sell and buy his next home. After I got off the phone with him, I had a realization... I take it for granted that I get calls like this every week now. Because it wasn’t always this way. Just a few years ago, I was struggling and felt hopeless. I HATED what I was doing. 3 years ago, after blood sweat and tears (literally) I finished renovating my first home. Then I sold it, and was able to quit my soul-sucking accounting job. I wanted to make the big bucks, so I got my real estate license! I would sit at the office, with my realtor badge on, and wait for the phone to ring. But it never did. So I did what most new agents do…I held open houses. And no one showed up. Or worse, people WOULD show up and get my hopes up, only to leave me empty handed. Then I tried cold-calling. I spent hundreds of dollars on data lists each month. I called FSBO’s, expireds, and landlords. I got cursed at. Insulted. Threatened. After a year of cold calling angry people with no results, I reached the end of my rope. I got depressed and gained 30 lbs. And I was quickly running out of money. “Real estate’s not for me”, I thought. “Maybe I should go find a job because this isn’t working”… Until I stumbled on the idea of making YouTube videos for real estate. But I didn’t know how to make videos! And I didn’t particularly like how I looked OR sounded on camera. The thought made me cringe. But the possibility that buyers and sellers could actually be calling ME, felt too good to pass up. So I had to give it one last try. I posted my first video on YouTube and got a measly 30 views. Then I posted another, and another and another. The views grew, the phone rang. Every week, new clients were reaching out to me. “I love your videos! I can’t believe I’m actually talking to you!” they’d say. A couple months later I had my first commission check of $15k. Then another check for $7k, $13k… and so on.
