I do not believe we are put here to take, or to accumulate stuff. Our legacies are defined by the relationships we form, and the help we give to others. My most important legacy is the example I set for my own children. When I went to my first real estate license course, at the Bedford Metropolitan office, there on the wall was "WI4C2TS". That shorthand for the Keller Williams belief system begins with Win-Win. or no deal. Followed by Integrity. In short, if the deal is wrong in any way, it's not the kind of business KW, or I, choose to take on. You can easily look up the rest of the belief system, or I'll tell you. That belief system, and the genuine positive outlook of the people here, are why I decided to work with KW Metropolitan instead of any other agency. About me: I am new to real estate, but not new to dealing with complex situations. My previous career was in management consulting to banks, mostly with a nationally recognized interest rate risk management firm. Over the past 20+ years, I have built holdings portfolio models; advised senior bank management on projected income streams and techniques to mitigate the risks inherent in them; created studies to estimate customer behavior; implemented institutional investment portfolio management reporting software; advised clients on Dodd Frank Act compliance; and created other business solutions. All that analysis aside, I think the most relevant experience from that career was in reporting to senior bank executives and in tactfully but responsibly dealing with sensitive issues. The person who initially thought I would threat to their job, usually ended up as a raving fan. It begins with attitude and client education. I am here to HELP, and I'd much rather "teach you to fish", than just "give you a fish".
