Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
I was born into business. My parents own a Beer Store in Detroit, Michigan when I was a young child. They bought a market when I was a teen. I worked in markets since I was about 6 years old and ran a store when I was 15 years old. I moved to California in 1975 owned a market, pizza place and deli until starting in real estate as a Realtor in 1996, Serving the public is a part of my life.
What is your primary product or service?
I primarily represent home owners with their number one investment and primary need which is housing. Helping home owners sell their home at top dollar, in the least time with little hassle is my goal. Helping buyers to find the best located home within their budget is a prime goal as well. Buyers want the best home for the price but my eye is always on the future. Finding them the best future investment means everything to me.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Our market in Sylmar, California was thriving from 1980 until we sold in 1996. The Northridge Earthquake destroy over $100,000 in inventory. My mother also developed Alzheimer disease in 1995. Our partnership between my dad, brother and me needed to end due to health and finances so we sold the market. One of the salesman was a Realtor and he convinced me that selling homes takes the sames skills that I already attained.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
A Realtor is a Fiduciary. A Fiduciary is a level of trust that the Courts deem as the highest level of trust one person can give to another. I understand the meaning of being a Fiduciary and live up to the code.
