New Member Abilene, Texas
My passion over the last several years has been to help people be successful in homeownership. I've been a licensed REALTOR in Texas since 1994. I've had many ups and downs and many times when I wanted to throw in the towel but I've persevered and I've achieved success with many clients. In 1996 I had a young man call me who was referred by an investor I was working with. This guy was a roofer and he wanted to be a real estate investor. He said, Becky, I want to buy 50 houses, he said "like Monopoly". Now I laughed to myself thinking, really? But today this guy is sitting pretty. He achieved his goal. He worked with many realtors to get to where he needed to be but he had a plan and stuck to it. This young man who is 20 years younger than me can retire today if he wanted to but I can not. I am working, I am pleasing people, I am doing real estate everyday! I know I need to make some changes I'm focusing more on how to help investors, how to help people achieve their dream of retiring. I know that first home will get you started but I need to teach people how to grow from that point. I need to be an example! Looking forward to learning lots from the BP group. If anyone in the Abilene, Texas area or DFW want to connect I would love the opportunity to see what has made you successful.
Be blessed everyday!!
