What is my story behind getting into Real Estate? When I look back on it, I see that my interest started very early on from a young child growing up in Mississippi. I remember playing games of being a businessman running a company that would make things better for people.

My Grandfather was a civil rights advocate who sought voting rights for minorities, meaningful jobs for people, and home and land ownership so families could create prosperity for themselves. These things he would talk to us about all the time he made sure to remind us to always think of others and treat them with the highest respect.

From very early on I found an interest in houses, land, buildings, old farms, and abandoned businesses and fantasized about how they could be turned into beautiful places and used to their fullest potential. I loved my grandfather dearly and his words have never left me to this day. When our family would travel around the state and other places, all I could see was how better the homes and properties could be and what it could mean for those who owned that property. But there was a saying by my father that would kind of crush my dreams a little every time he said this, “It does not matter what you do today, a hundred years from now it won’t make a difference.” This is the saying that sticks with me like my grandfather’s words do even though their perspectives are different, I cannot shake it and it motivates me to prove them wrong.

Now as an adult after having served a career in the military traveling around the world seeing how others live and having worked in various ministries, the words from my youth remain. What I also discovered is that the reason why these words remain is because it is my purpose in life to pursue change that makes the lives of people better and to encourage them that all they do today will matter tomorrow and a hundred years from now.

This is where my ownership in a real estate company and career as a Real Estate Agent help fulfill my purpose. First, by providing a service that renders respect to its highest. Second, educating and advising clients and customers to my utmost ability for them to make informed and prosperous decisions. Finally, but not least, I place their interest and well-being before money and profits because I want to think of people first.

This is my story and my “WHY” I am in real estate. I look forward to the journey and to how it matures.
