Why I Choose Real Estate - Plano Real Estate & Teral

The picture should be captioned “ You want me to what?” I had been left at home with my grandparents while my parents and an older sister took off on a vacation. As the story goes I was not a willing baby to leave the comforts of my crib upon their return. We all love our comfort zones and most of us find it in our homes.

Growing up I was the helper. I had an older sister who made sure of it. My sister would have to wash dishes; I would help her. She would have to clean the floors; I would help her. Helping seemed perfectly natural to me. Over the years I have come to appreciate that quality of helpfulness in my life. I never know when I will need it.

Or when I will receive it. My husband was a big helper for me a couple of years back when life threw us a curve and I had to undergo multiple procedures. While I was home recovering Larry, my husband was working towards his real estate career.

Larry became interested in real estate because of a friend. Only one problem; Larry didn’t care much for things like computers. He’s more of a people’s person. So I began to help him - seemed natural to me. A few months later I decided I would get my real estate license and Larry decided to leave real estate to me. Technology, being a big component of today’s real estate had forced his hand.

Not all of real estate changed with technology; it still remains a people’s business. Residential realty involves helping people to achieve their dream of home ownership. Sometimes they are first-time buyers and others are seasoned buyers who appreciate the time and talents of a good agent. I do my best services in residential realty.

If I was asked why I chose to stay with real estate I would say because of the people. I do love the technology but it’s the people. I am helping them achieve their dreams. Being a part of that achievement is a very rewarding experience. I am blessed to share in their joy of finding a home. The picture of a letter recently received says it all.
