Personal Statement: A Career In Real Estate

Decent Essays
Real Estate is my passion! As a United States Air Force Officer, I traveled the world and experienced every type of “home” from living in the dorms, to living in traditional Japanese housing, to purchasing my first single-family home right here in San Antonio, TX. Since that time, my family has grown and we have moved two more times, buying and selling our homes each time. With each move I have become more and more fascinated with the process, interested in real estate, and excited in the possibly of finding my dream career.

Since leaving the Air Force, I spent four years building a home-based business and 4 years working at the United States Naval Academy in management. I love customer service and helping people is what makes me most
