A DETERMINATION TO MAKE DREAMS COME TRUE

When Bia Siminovich sets a goal, nothing gets in her way. Her relentless pursuit to go after what she wants has made her successful in all aspects of her life. When she wanted to fulfill her dream of having a swimming pool and her husband said no, she was more determined than ever to take matters into her own hands to make her dream come true. “Nobody says ‘no’ to me,” Bia laughed. “I really wanted that swimming pool, and I was intent on making it happen.” Soon thereafter, Bia got her real estate license, and in just 15 months, she hired a contractor. Not only did she establish a successful real estate career, but six weeks later, Bia had a pool.

Bia’s passion to fulfill her dreams has translated into helping others fulfill their dreams of homeownership. “The purchase of a home is one of the biggest moments in a person’s life,” Bia explained. “For me, it’s a victory to be a part of that celebration — it has a big impact on my soul.”

As a native of Brazil, Bia learned to dream big from her parents. She earned her bachelor’s degree in advertising and marketing and was married at age 21. Bia and her husband, Sandro, moved from Brazil to Spain and later to Germany. “We learned so much together during those days,” Bia recalled. “It was just the two of us learning different cultures, exploring new places and adapting to new environments — it was a great time in our lives.” Two years later, they moved to the U.S. where Bia obtained her MBA in marketing from Walsh College. “After 15 years in this country, I can say that I’m very proud to be an American — I love living here,” she said.

While Bia does not work on a team, she does have an administrative assistant, Ignez Calil, who helps keep her organized and focused. “I call Ignez my second husband,” Bia joked. “Just like my real husband, she encourages me to be a better person every day, and, similarly, she also gives me a hard time.”

With her optimistic personality, Bia enhances her client experience with her practical business approach and positive perspective. “It’s very rewarding to help others move forward with their lives,” Bia shared. “While most often I’m rejoicing in new homeownership closings, there are other scenarios where I’m guiding clients through a tough phase in their life such as divorce, death or other life events that warrant the sale of a home. It’s imperative to bring comfort and support to all my clients in every situation.”

Bia and her husband have two children — Clara, 13, and Alex, 10. Clara plays volleyball and travel soccer, and loves sewing and cooking. Alex is an avid sports enthusiast who enjoys basketball and lacrosse. As a family, they spend time together traveling, going to concerts, and visiting friends and relatives.

Since becoming a real estate agent in 2015, Bia has exceeded $40 million in volume. She is with Keller Williams Domain and plans to get her broker license in the next few months. “My suggestion to others just getting into real estate is to never say no,” Bia advised. “Treat every client as your favorite; a $30,000 home is just as important to one person as a $1 million home is to another person. It’s important to be positive, to have a great sense of humor and to always be ready to help.”

Bia said she breathes and dreams real estate. “Even when I’m traveling, I am looking up the homes around me,” she said. “My whole life and future are about real estate. Everything from investing in property to flipping homes to retirement — it’s a part of who I am. But most importantly, my whole life is about helping others achieve their dreams through real estate.”
