No one’s going to be as committed to your business as you are. In this episode our hosts are joined by owner of Exit Realty, Laya Gavin, as she shares her transition from real estate to finance, and the importance of having a team you can truly trust.
Laya started her company with her mom, who’s been in the business for 40 years. After obtaining her real estate license at a young age, she took a 17-year break to work in finance before rekindling her love for the industry. She now has her own franchise, book & growing real estate team she built from the ground up.
“When you’re good with people and you want to take care of your client no matter what industry you’re in, that’s a gift. I hire for the individual, personality, and character. I can teach you the rest. I can't teach you to be kind to people.”
You can be taught the skills, but you must have the will. Trust factor is also a huge component both in a real estate team, and as a client. Make sure your team is talking to each other. Make sure the lender and realtor communicate! And if you’re the client, you get to hire and fire everyone on the team. The realtor is your advisor.
“There’s nothing more that brings me joy than to watch somebody give keys to someone’s house that they thought they’d never be able to afford. It’s special.”
