This past week I was voted Leadville/ Lake County’s favorite Real Estate Agent for the second year in a row. I feel honored that so many people support Tracy and I doing what we love to do. Every day I feel blessed to be a part of such a big decision in other peoples’ lives. The following is an excerpt from one of our recent newsletters that describes our philosophy. This I believe, is where our support is rooted!
Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose— a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye. – Mary Shelley
As the former manager and customer service team leader for a hotel in Vail, I constantly strived to find purpose for myself and my team. I believed that my role was to mentor others and teach them to take pride and ownership in their current position. This was not for the benefit of myself and the hotel but rather to help them develop skills that would better their lives and ultimately their professional careers beyond the hotel. Recently I came across a phrase and philosophy that resonates with me and my current role as Owner/ Managing Broker of Independence Realty & Property Management.
To work with “noble purpose” is to define yourself and your philosophy by the value that you bring to others lives. In Real Estate, I believe that I am serving a necessary role in helping home sellers move on to the next stage in their lives. For home buyers, I believe that I am helping them invest in not only the quality of their lives but also build up long term equity and save money over what they would spend on rent. These higher purposes are far more fulfilling to me than sales goals or “top producer” credits.
This is why Tracy and I do what we do and why we strive to offer an unparalleled level of customer service based on honesty, respect, and integrity. Our newsletter is an example of that philosophy. The foreclosure listings, market data and rental listings it contains are designed to give everyone in our area the tools to make good decisions when choosing housing options.
For us, it’s not all about buying or selling homes. It’s about helping clients find a place to share memories, to cook great meals and to long for when you are away. It’s about living greater lives and working with “noble purpose.” I’m excited each and every time I share this journey with one of our clients. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to do this every day!
