5. I study trends/cycles.  I love the economic factors that move markets.  I find
that most trends are moved by human behavior.  I became a realtor in 2007 as 100’s of 1000’s let the industry because I felt I drawn the profession.  I had to learn old fashion skills of becoming a realtor.I had to learn that a realtor’s job is to build relationships not sell real estate.

10.  I believe that for these reasons It took me only 5-years to be elected into the Re/Max Hall of Fame (1 million in commissions).  An accomplishment made in some of the worst years in DC Real Estate.  I feel passionate about Real Estate.  I am truly happy with what I do.
