Some might say that being an excellent Realtor and a mom don’t exactly go hand in hand. But let me tell you, that’s far from the truth. There was a time in my life when I thought balancing the world of real estate with motherhood was an impossible feat. I’m usually the type-A planner who thrives on everything going according to plan. So, when I found myself pregnant after just four months of dating my boyfriend, let’s just say it wasn’t part of my meticulously crafted life plan. But you know what? It turned out to be the most beautiful surprise on this journey.

Navigating the Transition

Navigating the real estate landscape while preparing for motherhood was nothing short of eye-opening, exhausting, and exhilarating. I suddenly had to master the art of juggling work and life, and trust me, life during pregnancy is a whirlwind of appointments and baby preparations.

But here’s the deal: I’ve always been a pro at preparation. You know how I meticulously prepare my listings to hit the market and how I equip new buyers to tackle our dynamic real estate landscape? Well, that same level of preparedness seamlessly transitioned into my journey as a mom.

4 Reasons Why Becoming a Mom Made Me a Better Realtor

Life during those nine months was pretty chaotic, and when Grace arrived, the chaos seemed to double. However, this incredible journey made me realize these 4 reasons why becoming a mom has made me a better realtor and amplified my skills.

1. I’m Always Prepared

I don’t just keep a stash of wipes, bandaids, extra snacks, and a Tide Stick on hand (because, let’s face it, life can be messy), but I also carry a tape measure, boots for those muddy showings, and my on-the-go client management system right on my phone. No matter the situation, you can bet I’ll handle it like a pro… or a mom!

2. Ability to Roll with the Punches

Every mom knows that no matter how prepared you are, there’s always a blowout or a sick child ready to throw a curveball your way. Similarly, in real estate, hiccups during inspections, delays in closing, or that dream house suddenly hitting the market while you’re on vacation can happen. But I’m quick on my feet and ready to adapt to any situation to ensure you’re served efficiently and effectively.

3. Master of Chaos Management

Handling a lot at once? Well, that’s my forte. Whether it’s making baby food (yes, I’m that mom), managing never-ending laundry, changing diapers, or simply taking Grace for a stroll, chaos doesn’t faze me. I’ve developed and implemented systems both at home and in my business that keep day-to-day tasks running smoothly, no matter what comes our way.

4. Heightened Attentiveness

Raising a child (or perhaps multiple kids one day) isn’t just about getting them to school on time every day. It’s about nurturing little humans with hearts, souls, and feelings. Rushing them is never an option. I take the time to listen to them because I want them to know they can count on me. Relationships are everything, and I pride myself on building strong, attentive relationships with my kids and my clients alike. When you work with me, you’ll feel valued and heard.

So, here’s the bottom line: I’m not a great agent in spite of my child; I’m a great agent because of my child. I can’t wait to work with you and show you firsthand how this amazing journey of motherhood has enriched my skills as a Realtor. Together, we’ll navigate the world of real estate, and you’ll quickly see that my commitment to excellence extends far beyond the business; it’s about nurturing meaningful relationships and providing exceptional service!
