If you're anything like me, you're probably interested in learning a little about who I am as much as I enjoy learning about my customers.
Real Estate caught my attention at a very young age. I was still in high school when I purchased my first home. I remember that at closing, the closer informed me that my parents had to sign the documents even though I was married and about to have my first daughter. I couln'd believe it!! In my blog lecciones de bienes raices I told the story of that purchase en Español.
When I purchased my second home five years later, little did I know that a few years later I would be facing foreclosure when my 9 month old baby had renal surgery and I had to take care of her because the kid's dad had just left our home. After speaking to my lender and a HUD counselor, I was able to remain a homeowner through a forbearance agreement HUD coordinated with my lender and was given the gift to be able to continue providing my children with a stable environment. Even though at the time it seemed that our situation would never improve - it did after a while andwhen the home sold a few years later it was a profitable transaction (and no, he didn't get any of it!). It was then when I began helping a local broker market her listings and Real Estate won my heart.
After relocating to Dallas in the summer of 2000 my education to become a Realtor began shortly thereafter. I was a single mom raising children, working full time and pursuing my degree and made the Vice President's Honor Roll and was nominated to receive an award for 'Academic Excellence in Real Estate' by one of my professors. In 2003, I passed the licensing exam and continued my studies to become a broker, which was accomplished two years later.
By the time my brokerage opened in 2005, short sales where an integral part of my service mix to assist families facing life-altering situations retain ownership by renegotiating their loan terms or selling property via a traditional or a short sale. Lender representation became another service offered by listing and managing VA foreclosures and REO's and performing Broker Price Opinions for servicers.
During the course of a failed marriage, I experienced first hand situations that gave me a deep understanding of home ownership; the do's and dont's and what's important to consider when buying or selling a home, among others.
I can say that one of the most impactful situations I've personally experienced was fully trusting people I should not have and as a result facing foreclosure for a second time while experencing a sudden (and rocky) divorce at the same time. Fortunately, I was able to negotiate a loan modification on the home I had acquired when I first moved to Dallas, which was a blessing for me and my children. I learned a lot in the process and can say that although is not the best way to learn, it's a memorable one and gave me firsthand experience and understanding of the process. I learned what needs to be done and the most efficient methods to present your case for a quick approval. And I also completed my CDPE Designation to complement my experiences with formal classroom education and serve you better.
I'm motivated to succeed for different reasons: First and foremost; I want to be an example to my five children, who are my most precious gift. Second, I love what I do and want to make a difference in people's lives and promote home ownership and sustainability; and third; I enjoy using the tools and talent I've gained through my personal experiences and education to empower others so they can accomplish their goals without having to experience the same issues. It's possible to learn from the experiences of others and prevent situations that could potentially cost you a lot of money and unneccessary suffering.
Most of my customers are more than friends, they have become a very important part of my life and I enjoy being part of their lives as well. I would love to get to know you and be of service.
