What qualities make you a real estate professional:
Facilitating a major career change to real estate full time, I drew on the extensive experience I gained from positions that I held, especially management time spent with Multinational, Multi-billion dollar companies. This background with extensive experience in operations, contract negotiations, organization, centralization & consolidation, planning, training, implementation of systems, and customer service, provided a sound basis for this transition. Most importantly what I gained was the continual interaction with people in all capacities/countries, coupled with my firsthand experience with both domestic and international relocation (while living in the USA and Abroad), have given me a unique and invaluable perspective in helping others achieve their dreams of home ownership.
Why did I join Balistreri Realty:
After meeting with Jim Balistreri in July, 2015 and again in 2017, I realized that Balistreri Realty offered many opportunities, that made it a good fit for me now in Real Estate. Their personalized programs, aggressive marketing and wealth of knowledge pertaining to the industry locally and within Relocation, was something that I wished to be a part of again.
