Real Estate Agent, Washington

[Varaia Roshon]

Hi there!

I am a real estate agent in DuPont, WA servicing the Puget Sound and surrounding areas. I specialize in education for first time home buyers or sellers. In my spare time, I look for investment properties for myself. I am hoping to meet new people on Bigger Pockets and educate myself as well as be a resource to others. I am one of a select group of agents that participate in a charitable program called Foundation Heroes that donates 5% of my commission to charity and 10% back to community heroes that use my services such as military, first responders, and teachers. Being a former teacher I feel it is the least I can do for those heroes that are often in thankless jobs.

@Khristian Guillory I substitute taught all levels of math for about a year and a half because I knew I was going to be relocated via my husband's job. Then I taught middle school math from basic to geometry for gifted students for 3 years in a large urban title 1 school. I loved teaching and I enjoyed my students but it was hard to see so many kids and teachers fall through the cracks due to bureaucracy at all levels. When I relocated again I had to think long and hard whether I would go back to teaching and decided instead of my original plan of teaching and being an agent part-time that I would put both feet firmly in real estate. I still keep in touch with my colleagues and am always willing to lend an ear. To do real estate and to do it well, I think you have to work full time on it. I realize now that I could never have done both at the same time. The only hard part for me right now is keeping the faith that what I am doing is growing my business even if it isn't realized till much later.
