Loved this!!!
โI sold my last home when I was 100, but I still keep an active license today with The Keyes Companyโthe same company where I got my start back in 1967. I still garden, too, because itโs good for the mind. Iโve traveled all over the world to learn about orchids. I even have one named after meโitโs a hybrid called the โNell Hammer.โ When it comes to my flowers, I just take good care of โem and they bloom when theyโre ready. You just have to be patient. I still donโt use a computer. Matter of fact, one time I was supposed to take a computer class, and I ended up selling the instructor a house instead. I like connecting with people in person. When I started out, I was going door-to-door every day and doing open houses just about every weekend. I would give my business card to anybody whether they were in the gardening club or somebody I met just passing through. And when people moved away, Iโd send them handwritten notes along with a copy of The Miami Laker newspaper. I tend to people like I tend to my flowers. I treat โem right, stay in touch, and they call me when theyโre ready to buy or sell. Iโve had my success, and people always want to give me awards, but I never let any of that get to my head. To me, the biggest reward is the people I get to work with. In real estate, you can help a lot of people and put a smile on somebodyโs face. Thatโs what makes me feel good. Everything else is just hoopla.โ
This Womenโs History Month, REALTORยฎ Magazine is placing a spotlight on Mrs. Rosa Nell Hammer, one of NARโs oldest living members of record, and one of Miamiโs most cherished real estate agents.
