What was your most interesting job before going into real estate?

I owned my own small business in Manhattan.

Where did you grow up?

I was born in Norfolk, Virginia, but I have practiced real estate in New York, Connecticut and am presently licensed in Tennessee and Georgia.

Growing up, what did you want to be?

I definitely always saw myself as an entrepreneur, creating my own business to realize my own dream.

What do you do to relax when you’re stressed?

I love to watch old black-and-white movies, and I love decorating.

If you could meet any well-known figure (living or not), who would it be and why?

Jesus, to see if we are interpreting his Word as he meant it.

What is Atlanta’s best-kept secret?

Its beautiful suburbs and sports teams.

What do you love most about the industry?

Guiding and consulting people about buying, selling and investing in property. It is, without question, your biggest way to legacy wealth.

How do you distinguish yourself from the crowd of agents?

I keep my self well educated in law and trends in real estate. I recommend the skill set the client needs, whether an attorney, accountant, inspector or stager. I like a well-informed client.

What is the most difficult aspect of your job?

Sometimes your agent has to tell you bad news. It is your job to be honest and act with integrity and protect your client. But you must keep your personal and political feelings out of it and make your client your priority. Sometimes appraisals don’t match up with sales prices, buyers want to pull out of deals, sellers unexpectedly have to relocate. Share the information and be a solutions provider.

What’s your best advice for generating new leads?

Don’t be a secret agent! Everyone has some sort of real estate need.

Succession

What’s the weirdest thing that’s ever happened to you on the job?

I had a seller who was arrested for a DUI, and we had the closing in the jail: me, the seller and the closing attorney.

What’s one thing people are surprised to learn about you?

I am from Virginia. I don’t have an accent.

What is your favorite vacation spot and why?

The Atlantis in Paradise Island

What is your favorite city after Atlanta?
