          "Do I know you from somewhere?" That's the line I hear all too often, whether it be while standing in line at Target (for the third time that week) or meeting with clients for the first time. So often in fact, that I had to explore why. Why do people always think they know me from somewhere, before I have ever actually met them? I think it's because I am such an open book you can talk to me about anything, no subject is off limits. I pride myself on being honest, warm, empathetic and genuine.

              I got started and interested in the Real Estate business at a young age, painting fences around my grandfather's car lot. He would start me out with a paint scraper, brush, and a bucket of white paint. It was a lot of work, but freshening up that fence made quite a difference in the way grandpa's lot looked. From that, I noticed houses and other properties that could probably benefit from a fresh coat of paint or a little repair. I found that in addition to the sense of accomplishment that comes with fixing up a property that had fallen into disrepair, (more…)...
