Today we’d like to introduce you to Sheralyn Bennett.
Sheralyn, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
My husband & I were always pretty interested in real estate & investing. We went to a seminar about real estate investing, where we got convinced into putting I think $20k into an investment, which ended up being a bust.
But after that, I decided to start on my real estate licensing classes. We both were working at APX Alarm, and during the economic downturn, I actually got laid off! That ended up being a great blessing for us however, I was forced into jumping into real estate full time, which can be scary for sure. But I have been doing it full time now since 2009 & it has been a really great move for me.
I convinced my husband to get his license too & come & help me a few years later, so now we work together as a team.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Definitely not a smooth road. Real estate is something where you can do really great or really awful. I started working in new construction, which taught me a lot & helped me learn how to handle a lot of transactions at once. I also had braces when I first started, so getting people to take me seriously even though I was young was a bit of a hurdle.
But I think it also helped me to work harder to prove myself.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
Since I have worked for builders, we do a lot of new construction deals. We have multiple clients building new homes right now with different builders. I love the process of home building & interior design, so it is one of my favorite things to do. I am proud that I can work with my husband every day & still like each other, I understand how it may not work for some people.
We are really fun to work with I think & we are very straightforward with our clients so they know what to expect. We have done remodels as well, which is super fun. I love taking something not so nice & making it beautiful!
Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
Communication & responsiveness for sure. Buying & selling a home is a stressful & big decision, so we strive to treat our clients’ deals like our own.
