Recently, one of the folks who took my Salesperson Pre-License course last year came on a showing with me after a study session to get a better feel for what, “a day in the life” might be like. After we finished the showing and were locking up the house, they commented about how the experience was very different than they thought it was going to be. They were surprised that, “there was no pressure to get them to write an offer,” they said, even though the client did, in fact, decide to write an offer.
I was so happy they noticed!
This is my profession; it is how I make my money. But my livelihood isn’t worth any of my clients being forced into a bad decision. That’s just not my style. What drives me is helping you hit your goals, not just snagging a quick paycheck. Sure, real estate is how I put food on the table, but I won’t let that overshadow making sure you don’t end up in a lousy deal.

It’s my Fiduciary Duty.
Being a Fiduciary is a principle that’s deeply ingrained in my professional philosophy. I realized the importance of this concept early in my career, while I was pursuing my Paralegal degree and working in a law office in downtown Fort Smith. Like Real Estate Brokers, attorneys are fiduciaries too, and those experiences taught me the significance of trust, integrity, and putting my clients’ interests front and center.
I don’t sell houses. I help people make good decisions.
Those good decisions apply to clients who are either Home Sellers or Home Buyers. For example: For a Home Buyer, I will be critical of every home we see and I will point out when your criteria isn’t met. For Home Sellers, not only will I market your property aggressively, I will also not talk you into accepting an offer that isn’t both aligned with your goals and the marketplace, just so I can get paid faster.

I am fortunate to have a lot of repeat clients, and it’s not because I spam everybody with phone calls, texts, and emails every hour. It’s because my clients see me as a partner and an ally. They know I’m here to help them get what they need and accomplish their goals. And, they know they can trust me for sound advice and guidance – I’m just a likely to tell you what’s wrong about a house as I am to tell you what’s right.
This week, I’m celebrating 10 years since I first got my Real Estate license, and I got a phone call from a client I started working with in my first year in business. Would you like someone to have your back for the next 10 years? Give me a call, text, or send me some info on a house you’d like to sell. I’ll get to work FOR YOU!
