Driving Long-Term Success Through Teamwork Position: Business Development Manager Office: Max Broock, REALTORS® — Birmingham How long have you been working with the person who nominated you? One year and eight months How long have you been working in the real estate industry?
Three years
What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
What did you do before you began working in your current position? I was a social media coordinator and receptionist. I also
worked as a bartender after business hours.
Being appreciated — Nick is constantly providing positive feedback on my work performance, which keeps me motivated and eager to continue my growth both personally and professionally.
What does your typical workday look like?
What is the most challenging aspect of your job?
There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes — I wouldn’t call a day working for a top-producing agent typical because every day in real estate is different. I prioritize my tasks for the day and start working on those items, as well as provide account management support, after communicating transaction updates to all parties. I juggle a lot of projects, deadlines and other people’s schedules to keep the team organized. Aside from coordinating transactions, I handle a number of processes and administrative projects that come up. Other items include launching and managing new listings/purchase agreements, verifying signed paperwork for accuracy, creating assets for email marketing and making sure no detail is missed, and monitoring administrative projects and performance metrics to maintain our continued trend of surpassing goals year after year.
The urgent nature of some projects makes it difficult to manage a work-life balance, and having high expectations for my own performance can also be challenging. What is one thing about you that others might find surprising or interesting?
I have a passion for marksmanship and a love for the outdoors. November 15 — opening day for rifle season — is deemed a holiday in our family! When you’re not working, what do you like to do for fun?
I like to clean and organize around the house, host gatherings and restore furniture.
How would you describe your job in one word? Meticulous Why do you think you excel at your job?
I thrive in fast-paced environments. I am thorough and highly organized, which allows me to work well — and autonomously — under pressure. I have a strong work ethic and a team-orientated mindset, and I put my duties and responsibilities above everything else. I am committed to helping drive long-term success through teamwork. 36 • March 2021
