“WHATEVER THE MIND CAN CONCEIVE AND BELIEVE, IT CANACHIEVE.”
—NAPOLEON HILL
Why is the real estate industry good for women? “The question to me is why wouldn’t it be good for wom- en? Within a team, men and women can accomplish a lot. I think that perhaps the real estate industry has been viewed as a man’s industry in the past because of the negotiation skill that is required to get a ‘good deal’. However, there are a lot of women who have this same skill, and some are really great at negotiating. Skills can be taught, learned, and transferred.” What can more women do better/differently to achieve greater success in real estate? “Believe in themselves. Do the research. Know what is out there and know your competition. They should read books that inspire them to be successful. We need to be confident in our presence and communication. And we need to surround ourselves with like-minded people. I can - not stress that enough. Never be the smartest in the group. One can’t grow if they are the one that knows it all.”
What three strategies/tools within the industry have helped you the most? “Peers — Being able to reach out to my peers is extremely invaluable. If I do not have the information that I need I can look for it on LinkedIn and create relationships. Follow up — Seems like an obvious one; however, it does not always happen. Clients are only so tolerant if follow up and through is lacking. The client is on a mission and does not want to be slowed down by someone who ‘seems’ like they do not want his business. Real estate associations — AAPL has been one of the best investments I have made. I am on the board of ethics and have been accepted in the Presidents’ Circle.”
