What was your first job in the real estate industry? Sales Agent

Growing up, what did you want to be? It depends at what point you asked me. The thing I wanted to be the most was a teacher which translates well into by job as a company mentor.

What do you do to relax when you’re stressed? Go to the ocean. It helps me put things in perspective and remember that all things pass and are never as major as they seem at the time.

How do you distinguish yourself from the crowd of agents? By providing exceptional customer service and being very active in my association which gives credibility and empowers me with knowledge.

What is the most difficult aspect of your job? Time management can sometimes be a struggle but truly the most difficult part is when clients are disappointed and don’t get the house they want. However, it also offers an opportunity to help them find something else that makes them happy.

Where do you go to network and meet new clients? I don’t go anywhere specific and meet people all the time though normal networks. I do try to stay involved with charitable activities. Most of my business has become referrals and that has been built by providing consistently good service.

I take great pride in being an office mentor and seeing agents become empowered and successful.

Architecturally speaking, what is your favorite building in Boston? Hmm. I love the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and the Christian Science Church.
