I’m not one to typically brag about any sort of accomplishment but this is definitely something I’m very proud to have accomplished in my career.
I have been a top producing realtor right out of the gate in my career starting in 2019, where I was able to qualify in the top 10% in real estate.
Since then I have been consistent every year being in the top 2-5% range.
I didn’t come from money, a big network. It has been simply hard work, discipline, and making honest choices! From open houses, to door knocking 10s of thousands of doors, 10s of thousands of cold calls and real estate conversations. I was told not to go into real estate because it was saturated, too competitive and 90 something percent of people fail. People who were close friends at the time who were not supportive. I chose the uncomfortable path, the one less traveled, the lonely path. I always have had faith and belief in myself! Someone who is negatively critical or judgemental never does from being above you. Character is created from hardship and struggle, not the easy safe path. Easy choices hard life, hard choices easy life.
However with all that being said in the picture of life it is not important. What is important is who you are, the character you have, what it is you value, the relationships you have, the people who love and respect you, the relationship you have with yourself along and with your faith, and never the possessional items, status or idealistic perception you think you might have.
Never idolize, compare or want to be someone else. Comparison is the thief of joy. Happiness is always from within and will never be obtained from something outside. I have never wanted to be someone else.
I’m grateful for everything I have. Every client I have ever worked with who put their trust in me to help serve their needs. Even the ones who rejected to work together (95+%). Also one of my closest friends who is also a realtor who I have been in the trenches with for a long time. Most importantly I’m grateful for my wife who bet on me 14+ years ago, who has been committed every step of our journey together. I am grateful for my two beautiful sons who bring me the utmost joy and will be the greatest accomplish I will ever have. I’m blessed in every way!
