"I’ve been in the business of serving people since I was young. As a 12 year-old with a paper route diligently delivering newspapers before school started each morning, I quickly learned about hard work and dedication early. The lessons I learned about serving people as a paperboy set the trajectory for the rest of my life, with many of the lessons learned from my older brother who had the route before me and he showed me the ropes. This is when paying attention to what people wanted began for me.
Knowing that neighbors, my customers, would only want to take less than 10 seconds to get their newspaper from their front yard, I started perfecting my “paper-throwing” technique to get the paper to fly and land with more precision to get it located in a better spot for the customer to retrieve. It didn’t take long for me to accurately get the paper to hit the sidewalk on the path leading up to the front door of the house and slide up nice and close to the door. That would result in the customer getting their paper without taking more than a step or two to pick up the paper, turn around and go back inside to go one about their day.
That’s where the love to serve others well, started for me and is part of everything I do today.
My college degree is in Hospitality, which did nothing except reinforce and strengthen my desire to serve and take care of people. I’ve been fortunate to work for the Hillstone Restaurant Group, formally know as Houston’s, as well as the Ritz-Carlton Hotel company. When it comes to serving its guests and executing its values, these two companies are truly world-class. With intentional, in-depth training and unique experiences during my time there I fine tuned my craft in the service of others.
God created me in a way that makes watching and paying attention to how others navigate through life the most effective way for me to learn and understand how to serve my clients best. Any licensed agent can execute the mechanics of a real estate transaction to effectively convey the property. But the talent and skill that it takes to truly care for and serve their clients in ways to help them reduce anxiety, provide wisdom-based guidance that brings an assurance and truly exercise affective communication is not as common as it should be. As clients, you are making one of the most intimate decisions, and that alone should be handled with care and expertise.
The best way to describe my service philosophy is this: I serve you through observation and anticipation techniques, I pay attention to my clients which allows me to know them more intimately, which in turn allows me to serve them in a way that not only gives them what they need before they need it.
I look forward to go on this journey with you.
