I also like to drop little hints here or there about what I’m up to everyday or about market statistics to keep my clients, present and future, in tune with the market,” she says. This helps create a frenzy of interest in new listings. “Print marketing is becoming obsolete, so I have to use other options and be creative to set myself apart,” Emily says. What’s Emily’s favorite part of her job? “It’s the people,” she says. “I get to meet new people everyday that I create relationships with.” She also loves that no two days of work are the same. To give back to the community, Emily serves on the local tourism committee. “We want people to come to our town on vacation, but to also fall in love with the town and want to live here and stay here,” she says. She’s a member of Gamma Beta, a service sorority focused on community service that also raises money for worthy causes, individuals, and different community organizations, and proudly gives scholarships to local high school students every year. Emily has served on various committees for the local board of realtors. She’s currently serving her second consecutive term as MLS Chairperson. She’s also given time to the committee dedicated to promoting realtor safety. “We collaborated to create a protocol for safety and worked to get agents to pledge to our protocol,” she says. “Realtor safety is very important in today’s day and age and along with that it is important to educate consumers so they are not surprised if agents ask for personal information prior to showings, a practice that protects everyone’s safety.” A country girl at heart Emily loves to spend time outside in the garden or just enjoying nature in general, whether it be hunting or fishing or just sitting around a campfire. She expresses that spending time with family and friends is also a vital part of her life, “Without them I wouldn’t be where I am today!” For the future, Emily hopes to continue growing her brokerage and serving people in the area that means so much to her. With her youth, enthusiasm, and expertise, she’s sure to make those dreams a reality! Top Agent Magazine
