How does a literature teacher and busy mom of 5 finally believe her husband that real estate is what she should be doing? For me, it all begins and ends with 'story.' I went from falling asleep during real estate podcasts to now eagerly sending out yellow letters, all because I found the human story in real estate. This is most apparent in the direct marketing approach of acquiring property where we meet with sellers. I've heard people say they hate to work with sellers, but I honestly don't believe I would like this if I didn't. Even as I pore over equity lists, I picture real people, living their lives at these addresses. I don't know if they need our services or not, but the ones that do have stories to tell.
