nearly went into anaphylactic shock from an allergic reaction to the acrylic paint. It felt as if I just couldn’t win. So, after swearing I’d never do anything with real estate again, I reluctantly obtained my Pa license, and eventually found a way to redefine my purpose within the industry. Although we were never married, we went through an extremely contentious custody battle that lasted just under three years, but in the end, I was awarded 50% custody, my biggest victory to date. That attorney changed my life, and we have since become the best of friends. I was at my very lowest, and he helped me get my life and family back. Now, I consider myself fortunate in that I help facilitate this same path for others. This is why this work is so meaningful to me. I can relate as you navigate one of the most difficult and painful times in your life--from coping with problems in my family as a kid growing up and fighting to overcome them, to the problems with a partner when a child is involved. I help separating couples re-focus on common goals and self- improvement that gets their lives back on track. When they need me, I respond, whether it’s 12am or 12pm—I once had a 3-hour conversation with a client that started at midnight, but it’s what he needed at the time, so I was there, as I will be for you. I meet people at what is arguably their lowest point, and pride myself on helping them see eye to eye, focus on the positive and on rebuilding their confidence, oftentimes from the ground up. I always tell people I love what I do because this type of sales allows me to continue to work in a capacity where I’m helping families, and feel like I’m making a difference. In my mind, the potential for making lifelong friends along the way is a welcomed bonus. You have no idea how resilient you can be until you are truly put to the test, and believe me, no matter how crushed and hopeless you might feel today , things will get better. I attribute the majority of my success to taking a personal interest in my clients and business partners, as I believe genuine, selfless, human interaction comes at a premium these days.
