"The entertainment Industry helped me to sharpen my communication skills, and taught me to pay close attention to others' needs via their body language as well as what they say. It also taught me how to market properties better and negotiate terms in contracts by parlaying these skills into real estate. Getting the right photos, staging and marketing materials to represent the seller's property is a talent I cherish as well as finding the right buyers for the home and the right home for the buyers. Every deal is different so I never get bored with real estate!"
