I’m a full-time real estate agent, living in the Town of Cheverly in Prince George’s County, Maryland.Although I became licensed in 1994, my interest in real estate started back in the ’80s, in the mortgage arena. That was back when the interest rates were just beginning to drop from their all-time highs of 18 and 21%. A 10% interest rate was sheer heaven! Back then, we never dreamed interest rates would drop as low as they’ve been over the last five years.In 1991, I bought my first house all on my own. What an education! I thought I knew so much, but it turned out I only knew a little bit of the equation. The financial part of the picture is important and I’m so grateful for the education those years provided, but it was the actual process itself that provided the impetus for me to get my license.Frankly, I was proud of how savvy I was in buying my house. Turns out I was pretty much a bumbling novice. My agent helped me and did a great job, but looking back, I now know she was representing the seller (buyer agency hadn’t come to Prince George’s County yet in any significant way) and I had to be clever enough to know what questions to ask.Why Real Estate? Once I got my license in 1994, I knew that my goal was to de-mystify the buying and selling process for my clients. I wanted to make sure the decision-making was where it belonged – in my clients’ hands, not in mine. That old Sym’s commercial that said, “An educated consumer is the best customer” was completely right in my estimation. So I’m probably as much a teacher as an agent.In 1999, I joined CENTURY 21 Home Center. After having worked at two other brokerages, I went searching for the most ethical brokers I could find — I wanted to work with someone who would walk away from business rather than do the wrong thing. I found exactly that in Boyd Campbell, my broker.
