Here's a REAL lesson from my early days... As my business was rapidly growing, I struggled with keeping everything organized. I didn't have proper systems or structure in place. One memorable mistake? I left a faucet open during a condo inspection with the water turned off. When the water came back on, it flooded the place. As a young realtor, I was responsible and had to foot the bill. 💦🏠

This experience taught me a crucial lesson 👉 Sometimes, going fast means you need to SLOW DOWN. Like the old wisdom says, 'Measure twice, cut once.' It's a mantra I have lived by until now in real estate, ensuring thoroughness in every step. Remember, speed is good, but accuracy is everything! 💯

As we all know, house hunting is an emotional rollercoaster, full of highs, lows, & unexpected turns... 🎢

Before, I've felt the sting of missing out on what I believed was 'THE ONE'. It's hard to see past that moment, to believe there's something better ahead... But life has its way of surprising us. Our dream home wasn't the one we initially set our hearts on, but another that awaited us just around the corner. 🔑

🔍 To anyone in the search right now, hang in there. Your perfect home is on its way. Keep the faith, be patient, & remember that sometimes, things fall apart so better things can fall together.

In sales, it's easy to get caught up in the pitch. 📊 Once, I was so eager to showcase our new technology package that I overlooked what my client truly wanted... The lesson? Don't just speak— LISTEN.👂

In real estate, knowledge is POWER. 🧠 But we often forget that what's second nature to us may be entirely foreign to our clients... They might browse property websites & read articles, but that doesn't make them experts.

Embracing change is the KEY to thriving in the dynamic world of real estate... I remember when introducing things like DocuSign & Apple computers was groundbreaking and faced resistance.
