WHAT?! A decade in the industry... how did that ​happen?

Somedays, I feel like a tenured bad-ass realtor mom boss ​and others, well I feel like I'm a newbie. That's the beauty ​of Real Estate: every day, every deal is different.

Introduction

For those who do not know me, Hi, I'm Lindsay. I'm a 36-year-old wife and mom of two, born and raised in Perry County. I joined the Real Estate Industry in July 2014, and I've been involved in over 578 transactions.

Before joining the real estate world, I worked in retail as a store manager for Ann Taylor and The Limited Brands.

How did I get started in real estate?

My son, Logan, motivated me. I knew I wanted ​flexibility in my career. I loved retail—I mean, I ​really loved it—but I couldn't see myself ​working in the industry with a family.

I grew up in the Real Estate industry. My ​mom, my broker, Teresa Hower, has been in ​the industry for 30 years. She has planted ​seeds for me to join the industry since I was ​16.

Growing up with self-employed parents was ​what I knew as "life." I was trying to figure out ​how I would work in retail, where the hours ​were crazy (I mean, so is real estate), but how ​would that work raising a family?

So this gave me a little motivation to buy the ​laptop... THEN, once Logan arrived, I got the ​motivation to start the classes. Then I blinked, ​and it's been ten years.

My Why?

My family. My clients.

The thing that gets me up every morning is my family. I created an environment ​where I can be present with my kids and there for their significant life events.

What keeps me motivated and driven? My clients. They are the joy, heart, and ​backbone of my business. Early on, coming from a world of retail, I knew I most ​enjoyed working with the public.

Purchasing a home is one of the largest investments you can make. I am passionate ​about being a part of that, helping navigate the process, and educating my clients.

Why Central PA?

Perry County (and the ​surrounding counties) is a ​beautiful community in Central ​Pennsylvania. We are very ​blessed to have raised our family ​here and now have a business ​where we can continue to thrive. ​I am a big supporter of "Shop ​Local." I give my business to ​other local businesses where I ​can, whether painting, roofing, ​general contracting, or plumbers. ​I have you covered with a list of ​some fantastic local businesses.

Dunannon & Marysville are ​connected small towns in central ​PA. If people know you and who ​you are, you will know them and ​who they are. Over 95% of my ​business has come from past ​clients, friends, family, or their ​referrals in the last ten years.

Mission

On a random Monday conference call, while working in retail, my District ​manager challenged all the store managers. The challenge: "What do YOU ​want to be known for? When people say YOUR name, what do you want ​them to think of?"

I kept circling back to the same thing. Knowledge.

You don't know a policy, call me.

If you need to learn how to handle a client, contact me.

If you need random company knowledge/policies/procedures/ best practices, ​I got you. I wanted to be the center source.

This has rolled into many areas of my life, including my real estate career. ​Many of my clients will have heard me say, "Knowledge is power. The more ​knowledge you have, the better decision you can make for yourself and your ​family". I enjoy educating my clients about the process and how it works. I ​want the phone calls with questions. I do this every single day. You will buy ​or sell a home a handful of times in your lifetime. I want you to feel ​confident and comfortable with the process, and that starts with ​knowledge. "....

I've been called "Mary Poppins" in my home life when we're out at ​one of the many sporting events. If another family is missing ​something, ask Lindsay; she probably has it. Coaches need ​something, such as a Band-Aid, Tylenol, hand warmers, etc. Lindsay ​probably has it in "that bag of hers." Cold? I probably have an extra ​blanket in the car. Sounds a lot like my mission in retail, right?

This has been my mission in real estate. Knowledge, Confidence, ​Integrity, and Unparalleled Service. Forward-thinking, and fast-​moving.

Real estate is a big puzzle. I LOVE to solve puzzles. I'm a matchmaker. ​What is the problem? Let me give you some outside-of-the-box, ​forward-thinking solutions. As a realtor, I'm a master at placing ​puzzle pieces together.

The Future

Guys, I just want to continue focusing on my clients, building my ​relationships, and forming partnerships. I want to continue impacting my ​clients, their friends and family, the industry, and local agents.

What are the next steps for me and my career?

I aim to follow in my mom's footsteps, becoming a licensed broker.

I love to educate, and I love our boutique atmosphere within the office. I ​love the family-like environment we've created with all our agents and ​clients. I love the education provided based on real-life scenarios. This is ​what I want to continue to nurture and grow.

Most say, "Success in real estate comes down to three factors: taking ​care of, listening to, and valuing you, the consumer."

But it's missing a piece. Success also depends on the agent's willingness ​to grow, learn, and adapt in the industry. How much work will you put ​into YOU to better serve your clients?

I'll close with, a HUGE THANK YOU! Without each of your support whether that's referring friends / family, sharing posts, ​giving out my business cards or silently cheering me on from the sidelines. I couldn't do what I do without each of you. I ​know... cheesy. Everyone says it. But truly. With your support, I not only get to do what I love, but I also get to share that ​passion with you.

Bringing two parties together to achieve one goal.

Thank you for the last ten years - looking forward to the next 10.
