Dana Botteron Realtor®

HELPING OTHERS

Realtor since March 2018

What led you to become a Realtor®?

I graduated from IPFW with a bachelor’s degree is Organizational Leadership and Supervision, with a minor in Communications and a concentration in Human Resources. The two office jobs I worked after college made me realize that I am very much a people person and I need more personal relationship-based interactions. I took a job as an assistant apartment manager, which was the gateway to getting my real estate license. I enjoy working with people daily, I loved the interaction and felt gratification in helping our residents. This translated into assisting my real estate clients now get from A to B, in whatever capacity that looks like. I’m a natural born people pleaser, a natural born helper, so the shoe fits. I wanted to help people.

What is your favorite part about being a Realtor®?

Helping others. I love assisting my clients with their real estate needs, helping them reach their goals. I get a chance to spend time with them in a very unfamiliar situation, so their trust in me is huge and I take that very seriously. The whole process is very rewarding, but my absolute favorite part is the gratefulness and thankfulness of my clients. The big hugs and belly laughs at the closing table.

What are you most passionate about, as a Realtor®?

I strive for my clients to have an exceptional, unparalleled real estate experience when they are working with me. An experience so great, that they tell all their friends and family. I am extremely grateful for my client’s business and trust; therefore, I am passionate about the level of service they receive. I pride myself on being a good communicator, being available (most hours) to my clients, always being honest and forthright, always guiding. Buying real estate is a huge investment, selling real estate needs to be done in an ethical and fruitful way. My clients trust me to protect them through the process and represent them fully and well. I am passionate about them, how I represent them, the level of service I provide, the protection I bring and most importantly, their satisfaction at the end of a transaction. I want my clients to know that I showed up for them every day. I worked hard for them, with integrity.

What sets you apart from your competitors?

I often go above and beyond what the typical ‘Realtors’ duties might be, but that’s what I do. Those added personal touches, thoughtfulness, top tier client services, the precision of how a real estate transaction is facilitated, the relationship and emotional investment I make with every client. That’s what makes me different, I am present, and I genuinely care. I listen to my clients’ wants and needs. I am very careful with dates and time frames. I am very detailed oriented when it comes to listing. I execute each transaction as if it were my own.

Who are your biggest supporters?

What does being a Realtor® mean to you?

The world. I wear the Realtor title with pride. It means someone is choosing ME as their representation. It means they trust in me and are confident that I will protect them. It means I hold a significant part of their future in my hands. Selling a house is not a paycheck, or a number to help get me to my annual sales goal, it’s much more than that. Being a Realtor means I carry great responsibility to do the right thing and see my clients through to the closing table as seamlessly as possible.

My mom, my husband and my Wayhome family. My mom is my best friend, I’m lucky to call her my neighbor too!

She often helps me with odds and ends, signs, lockboxes. Sometimes it’s a listening ear and other times it’s a home cooked meal. As I am on the same journey as my clients, my husband often gets to hear updates. He rides the roller coaster of ups and downs with me as transactions transpire, and he’s always positive and suggestive with new ideas. The Wayhome team (without a doubt) helps keep me afloat. Nathan, our team assistant, is truly extraordinary! He’s always lending a helping hand and works endlessly to make sure everyone has what they need. His contributions to the team are unmeasurable. Wayhome has an incredible dynamic, we all enjoy spending time with each other. We all bring a little something different to the table, but we share the core values of trust, reliability, respect, and integrity. We talk daily, meet weekly, help each other solve problems, and encourage one and other to be our best selves. We help each other if a showing or an open house needs covered, and there is no competition between agents, just support. It’s a dynamic unmatched by most real estate teams. They are a second family. I have the best support system.

What drives you to be successful in your business?

Many things, but I genuinely love helping people. If I won the lottery, I would still sell real estate. It’s a fascination of mine. There are many facets in the real estate industry, and I want to know them all. The more I know, the better I can help people. I am driven to best serve my clients, and I am driven to provide a comfortable life for my family. I feel extremely blessed to have the ability and knowledge to work in a field I love so much. Bonus, I get paid to do to it.

What do you like to do when you are not selling real estate?

I enjoy dates with friends, lunch, dinner, coffee, cocktails, pedicures. I love spending time outdoors poolside on a sunny day. I also love a good bonfire. Tom and I both work hard in the summer, so we love to travel in the winter. We like to try new restaurants and walk downtown. We spend a lot of time with our dogs too. They enjoy a golf cart cruise or chasing the geese at Riverbend Golf Course. Family is very important to me. I try and free my schedule when out-of-towners visit. When I spend time with my family, it’s a total recharge. Making memories, watching movies, making dinners, tasting wine/beer, laughing until our faces hurt. Oh, and when I’m not selling real estate, I’m likely thinking about selling real estate.
