Why I Became a Realtor®

My path into real estate comes from real-life trial and error—10 moves in 22 years across Southeast Michigan. Every house, apartment, and flat had a charm… and a lesson. Spoiler: most of those lessons came the hard way.

Quirky Lessons Learned Along the Way

⚡ The Microwave Fiasco: Ever trip a fuse just by reheating leftovers? I learned the hard way that checking the electrical really matters.

📚 The Window Workout: Rented in the winter, all seemed perfect… until summer came. No AC, and the windows wouldn’t stay open unless propped with books. Lesson: always test the windows!

🔪 Butcher Block Beauty: Gorgeous countertops are dreamy, but if you don’t baby them, they turn into a nightmare. (Maintenance matters, folks!)

🚗 The Parking Predicament: One car? One spot is fine. Two cars? Suddenly you’re playing street-parking roulette every night.

🏃 The Landlord Shuffle: Three different times, landlords decided to sell our rental. Translation: “Pack it up—you’re moving… again.” Looking back, I don’t blame them—it was a seller’s market, but not so great for us.

What Those Moves Taught Me

Looking back, I realized all those frustrating, funny, and sometimes frantic moments shaped me into the Realtor® I am today. I know what to check, what to question, and when to say, “This house might be more trouble than it’s worth.”

Now, I use those lessons to guide my clients—especially first-time buyers—so they don’t repeat my mistakes. My goal? To make your journey less stressful, more exciting, and maybe even a little fun.
