Because and Why
Welcome to Home Sweet Home, Jenny's journal of daily life as a Real Estate Professional. My plan for this weblog is to provide you with helpful information, insider tips of the trade, and personal stories of the sometimes-crazy-and-always-interesting day in the life of a Realtor. I began in Real Estate in 2001, just after the attacks of 9/11 stunned our Nation and changed our way of life forever. Helping others buy and sell their homes is a tremendously rewarding career. I am one of the lucky ones who actually enjoy their career (gasp! It exists!) and working alongside my mother is a blessing (yes, a blessing). People often ask me why I became a Realtor. My answer is simple. When I moved into my first house (the home I still live in), I was living the single life and felt a huge sense of accomplishment having done it on my own. Over the next 7 years, I met Mr. Right, got married and had my first child. My tres chic sofa was removed so my husband could keep his (ugh) recliner that he so loves. My sitting room became a nursery, my comfy reading chair given up to make room for a changing table. The walls of my home have seen unsurpassed joy and at times, tears; hosted many happy reunions, dinners, happy hours and celebrations; comforted me when I needed it and sheltered me from the elements. My home is so much more than just four walls and a roof and seeing a house become a home is why I became a Realtor...I get to witness this every, single day.
