Life is a journey, and at every step, you’ll be faced with choices that determine who you are when you reach your destination. Like many of you, my journey also began with a choice. It was in 2009 when I was first approached with an opportunity to start a new career in real estate. I remember like it was yesterday; I was a 29-year-old, single, recently divorced mother living on state assistance and trying like hell to make ends meet. I won’t bore you with the details, but this was the first time I recognized my ADHD impulses I had been living with my entire life would soon lead to my attention to detail becoming my new superpower. I started attacking the market by looking for certifications other agents didn’t have stacked in their decks. First, I focused on clients trying to purchase their first home and obtained my ABR designation. This gave me the knowledge and expertise to represent my clients throughout their real estate purchases. Next, I didn’t want to leave those selling their home out; as that can be just as challenging for people, so I became an SRS. This elevated my standards, which I placed on every sales transaction to help me enhance my sales performance every year. There are a couple of things near my heart. I am particularly proud of the work in implementing a Self-Care and Personal Development Series in the WRA. I also want to thank the AHEOC for giving me my first shot, your minority scholarship helped pave my way. A real estate transaction is a large life decision, more like a journey than a quick moment. You’re here because you now have a choice in front of you. This choice may feel extremely exciting or even a little scary, and I don’t want you to feel trapped. For my part, I will make that decision as easy as possible. By choosing me, you will gain an agent who has looked adversity directly in the face and has come out smiling. You’ll find no puffed-up ego here; you’ll now have an authentic partner dedicated to you on your team. Make your first choice today; contact me, Laura Lahti
