As I start a new career in Real Estate it is exciting because the profession is changing from what I once perceived. You know, a time when a Realtor was considered the enemy of home owners and only interested in a commission. Today presents new ways to change that paradigm. With training programs like the CDPE and SFR designation we have the opportunity to be seen as consultants. With the advent of social media we have a tremendous opportunity to establish ourselves as professional marketers. After all the decision to sell will always be our clients. I am proud to be part of this change and this time in Real Estate. Each day I look forward to talking with prospects about their marketing opportunities with full knowledge of the options they have. Our clients are in a volatile time. Today we offer more than advise on what a listing price or offer should be. Today a Realtor is someone a person can call to get all their questions answered. The challenge is letting people know about this paradigm shift.
