RE/MAX Leading Edge

I fell into this business by chance as a recent college grad from the U of MD. I interviewed within GE and was turned down for a sales position selling washers and dryers to builders and appliance stores. I was told that they didn't think I was sales oriented enough! Well, that was a big mistake on their part and what seemed like a closed door at the time turned out to open the door for me to a dynamic and successful 25+ year career selling real estate. What they didn't know is that I was the little girl who was the top Girl Scout cookie salesman, I was the girl who sold Christmas cards in the broiling heat in July to save for a 10 speed bike, I was the girl who at the age of 5 sold home made pot holders! If it didn't walk, I would sell it!! So at the suggestion of my Dad, I took the real estate licensing class. Before I knew it I had passed the state licensing course and I dove in and started selling like crazy and haven't looked back since! So the ending of the story is....I did bump into the GE executive that I had interviewed with a few years later and he asked how I was doing and where I was working. I told him I was selling real estate for Re/Max and his jaw almost hit the ground. He knew, like most others, that you have to produce to be a Re/Max agent. So call me... I will sell, list or rent your property. And if you are a Girl Scout selling cookies...go get 'em! It's great training for a successful and rewarding sales career.
