Picture Taken Oct. 14, 2014
Today marks my 10th year as a licensed Realtor! 🎊
I remember when I was just a kid riding along with my Nino and my dad to look for deals and properties. I’d run and get them “information Ellie, information” referring to the marketing pamphlets on the for sale posts. They’d yell, “double door!” when it was a “fancy” one. However, the most impactful memory of this time was when the realtor didn’t believe we had the funds to purchase the home we were touring. If she wouldn’t have profiled us solely for being a minority, and focused on learning more about us instead, she would have realized my Nino at that point already had several income producing properties and was a financially qualified client. That’s when I knew there had to be better people in this industry.
I’m so glad that I’ve come across them. It’s brought me clients who have become my life long friends. Mentors and colleagues who have helped me achieve some goals that, at times, I didn’t believe were possible for me.
I stayed in SF after I graduated at State and worked full time servicing clients in one of the most competitive real estate markets in the world. I took a leap of faith to stay and work a fully commission based job. As daunting as that was, I’m glad I did for many reasons. One being I wouldn’t have met my husband who was also there for work.
Then I wouldn’t have moved to Richmond, Virginia and helped my brother move his family here. Where we all have a much easier standard of life than the hustle and bustle we grew up in.
For these and many, many more reasons real estate is a special part of my life. And I am grateful I get to help others realize the power it has to drive your life on a better course.
Thank you all for supporting my business and trusting me to bring value, guidance, and care to every person I help.
