New Encounters

08/23/2025

It’s hard to believe that I’ve been working as a real estate agent for more than 10 years now.
When I first started, it wasn’t easy for me to speak in front of strangers, and building new relationships took a lot of time. But as the years passed, I changed. I think people naturally evolve as they go through life—sometimes in good ways, sometimes in unexpected ones.

These days, I find myself meeting new people much more often than before. In the past, most of my clients came through personal introductions, but now more and more people reach out to me directly after finding me online.

Today, I have one of those special new meetings scheduled, and since this morning, I’ve felt both excitement and a little nervousness.
“What kind of stories will we share?”
“What kind of home will they be looking for in their current situation?”
Because I never meet someone with all the answers in hand, I always carry equal parts anticipation and concern. Yet that’s what makes this work both challenging and meaningful for me.

Despite high interest rates and rising costs nationwide, Georgia’s real estate market is still active. Especially in metro Atlanta’s outer suburbs—places like Suwanee, Johns Creek, Buford, Hoschton, and Winder—demand remains steady thanks to larger lots and relatively affordable prices. Families are also prioritizing strong school districts and family-friendly communities, so certain ZIP codes continue to be in high demand.

Of course, I can’t promise to find the “perfect home” every time. But by truly listening to each client’s situation and walking alongside them, I do my best to help them make the best possible choice.

As I step into today’s new meeting, I return once again to the mindset I had when I first began this journey. With sincerity and care, I move forward—hoping this new encounter will grow into a meaningful connection and, ultimately, a successful home journey.
