In August, 2010, after almost three weeks of classes and a licensing exam, I became a real estate agent. In the five years prior to that I had dabbled in the real estate world, from buying my first rental properties to working in the mortgage industry to working for my now partner Rob Thompson helping him to find properties to buy.
One day Rob asked me, “Have you thought about getting your real estate license?” For some reason I really hadn’t, but that day I started thinking about it, and several months later I took the plunge. Since that time, I’ve closed on $23 million worth of real estate over the course of 160 closings!
I love real estate. While it started out as way to supplement my income as a pastor, it’s grown into a real business. It has allowed us to accomplish so many goals, such as the flexibility for me to work from home and therefore take on more responsibilities with the house and the kids. It’s also given us the means and the flexibility to travel, which is something that our whole family enjoys.
I’ve had amazing clients during these ten years, and it’s been my joy to assist them in buying or selling their home. Here’s to ten more years!
