I’ve been a broker for nearly two decades and have always identified myself as a licensed real estate Broker. That’s true but that is not the whole picture of what I love to do.
I’m really selling a “Lifestyle”. A home is not just where one lives with a roof over their head. It’s the Lifestyle one creates for themselves. A place where they are part of a greater community, raise their children, the types of schools they want to belong to, places of worship, retail conveniences, walkability and most of all - how does the home make you feel and how does it represent your personality?
I hope you enjoy this series!
