HILARY & REVERIE, JULY 2019
30A'S REAL ESTATE
DREAM TEAM
rev·er·ie / ˈrev(ə)rē . / noun a state of being pleasantly lost in one’s thoughts; a daydream. With little more than 10 months under its belt, Hilary Farnum-Fasth, the Broker/Owner of Hilary & Reverie, 30A’s Luxury Brokerage, along with her VP of Agent Development, Michele Bailey have blazed a trail towards a banner first year in luxury real estate sales, national speaking engagements and prestigious awards. As seasoned businesswomen, they have both worked tirelessly to make this daydream into a reality. Kicking off the year, Michele Bailey joined a panel of speakers to close out Sellabration, a CRS (Certified Residential Specialist) National Convention held in Las Vegas, Nevada, speaking to over 1,200 attendees. Michele addressed the audience on the challenges and successes of selling in a secondary market, where the majority of your sellers and buyers live elsewhere but seek to purchase along Florida’s Emerald Coast. A natural on stage despite her nervousness, Michele had this to say about being in the spotlight: “Winning gold in the Olympics or summiting Everest must feel something like this. I managed to speak somewhat intelligently in front of 1,200 of the top 1% of realtors in the country, and public speaking is a hurdle for me. Living outside my comfort zone has become a way of life and gives me resources to empower other agents to find ways to get comfortable being uncomfortable.”
Well received by her peers, she was invited to present a webinar hosted by the Residential Real Estate Council on Second Homes in May to a live audience. This hour-long webinar covered a plethora of topics that included everything Photo: Michele Bailey (seated) & Hilary FarnumFasth (standing).
