Mm-hmm

... and, you know, in my community and, and for the country.

I thought, "I gotta do something that I feel will be meaningful in the lives of other people.

Uh, what can I do to serve people in some way in a civilian capacity that, um, I might find rewarding?" And I, I landed here in real estate, and, um, I started getting, six or seven, maybe even eight months before retirement, I started getting kinda ginned up, prepped up, learning, coming to the office, getting ready to test, get licensed, and really figure things out.

And, uh, my goal was to kinda hit the, hit the ground running on retirement day, and that's what I did.

Um, nearly, like I said, 11 years ago, I jumped in with both feet and was a solo single agent in the beginning, and, uh, just tried to s- you know, soak in as much knowledge and information from the people in the office that were, you know, in it for a, you know, period of time, were knowledgeable, were people that were being recognized at team meetings and, you know, locally on our, in our, uh, MLS, MLS board and, and those kinda things.

Who, who are the smart people that know, you know, success in this business?

Sure
