For the past 19 years and counting, I worked in another field that requires superhuman powers.  Multi-tasking, flexibility, listening, and patience are key in both teaching and real estate.  Teaching has helped me as a real estate agent in many ways.  I enjoy coming up with a plan for each individual.  Children need different strategies to learn, differentiating instruction, and discovering are they a visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or tactile learner.  This has helped me be extremely patient, really listen to what buyers, renters, and sellers are looking for, create a plan, and then hold their hand through the entire process because I’m still teaching.  I’m teaching the real estate process in terms that my clients understand.  I’m easing their concerns of being overwhelmed or frustrated.  The entire process is simply so exciting!  This teacher does her homework!
