Been in the real estate business since 1998. Before doing real estate I worked taking care of my dear friend who is a quadriplegic.  My husband saw that it was taking a toll on me and suggested that I go into the real estate business.  I basically told him to mind his own business (LOL); partly because I was afraid to try something new.  He thought that I would enjoy it and be good at it.  And so after a while, about a year I decided to trust his opinion.  Took the course, past the test and that was the beginning of my business.  Love being with people and get so much joy from leading them to something they love.  I have also talked people out of purchasing something because I knew it wasnt a good deal.  Last July I opened my own brokerage and chose the name Heavens 2 Betsy Realty.  It seemed so appropriate.  Im not a high pressure salesperson.  You will be respected.
