FIVE YEARS.
Today officially marks 5 years since I became a licensed Realtor and joined EXIT Real Estate Consultants… and somehow that feels like both yesterday and approximately 47 years ago. 😂
Five years of contracts, closings, inspections, appraisals, negotiations, late-night texts, early-morning phone calls, “quick questions” that were definitely not quick, deals that nearly took me out, happy tears, stressful tears, and a whole lot of handing over keys.
But more than anything, it’s been five years of PEOPLE.
People who trusted me with their first home. Their forever home. Their military move. Their investment. Their land. Their sale. Their fresh start. Their next chapter.
And I will never, ever take that trust lightly.
My life looks a whole lot different today than it did when I first got my license five years ago. Somewhere along the way, I also decided opening and running a Pilates studio sounded like a reasonable thing to add to my plate… but one thing hasn’t changed:
I still LOVE real estate.
I’m still here. I’m still working. I’m still answering the phone. I’m still writing contracts, showing houses, listing homes, negotiating deals, solving problems, and doing everything I can to take care of the people who trust me to represent them.
To every single person who has bought, sold, referred a friend, shared one of my listings, tagged me in a post, called me with a question, or simply continued to cheer me on over these last five years — THANK YOU.
You have allowed me to build a career almost entirely on relationships and referrals, and there is no bigger compliment than someone saying, “Call Shelby. She’ll take care of you.”
Here’s to five years down, a whole lot of lessons learned, some really great stories acquired 😂, and hopefully MANY more closings ahead.
And just in case anyone in the back needs the reminder…
Yes, I still sell houses!
And I’d still be honored to help you buy or sell yours.
Cheers to FIVE YEARS! 🥂🔑🏡
