I discovered my passion for real estate when I bought my first home. I remember walking through the door on a dreary Sunday in March. The home was in need of repair. Every surface needed attention and yet as I spoke to the list agent, the din of age and neglect began to wear off in my minds eye. I could picture the family sitting down after a long day to enjoy a meal prepared from the summer garden. I saw the joy the walls once held and I knew that where their story ended, mine would begin.At the closing table that bright spring day in May, I sat across the table from the woman who had grown up in the home. She spoke about the 98 bedroom she shared with her sister, and of the bond they still shared that was formed as children in that tiny room. Later, neighbors would tell me stories of the quiet man who would spend hours tending his vegetable garden and how he would share the bounty of his harvest by placing bags of vegetables over their fence. They told stories of a kind man who enjoyed greeting children trick or treating on Halloween and how he lamented of his body failing to keep up with the ambitions of his mind.Standing in the doorway of that modest bedroom later, I thought of the girls who grew up there, of my own sister and of the childhood bedroom we shared, and I envisioned the future for my own children whose stories have yet to be told.These stories connect us to one another, and to the communities we live in. They enrich our lives and when woven together, they form the fabric of who we are. I got into real estate because I want to tell these stories.
