Hi, I'm Monica Hachey. New headshot felt like a good excuse to actually introduce myself. đź‘‹ People ask me all the time why I got into real estate. Well, here's why..
I got into real estate because of what happened when I bought my own home.
I sat across from a title escrow officer throwing numbers at me faster than I could write them down. I nodded like I understood. I didn't. I signed anyway. Most people do.
Months later, going back through my own closing documents, I realized how much I hadn't understood, and how many decisions I'd made on trust instead of knowledge. I never wanted a client of mine to feel that way.
Then I became an agent and found new agents go through the same thing, just on the business side. Unfortunately, I had to learn by trial and error.
That's why I'm at White Picket Realty. We don't hand agents a license and wish them luck. We build around them: training that explains the "why," systems that keep transactions organized, and mentorship that's there before the mistake happens.
Whether it's a client understanding what they're signing, or an agent building a real business instead of guessing, it comes down to the same thing: slow down and explain it clearly.
That's the agent I am, and the brokerage I'm proud to build with.
Whether you're looking to buy your next home or grow your career in real estate, my door's always open. Send me a message.
