Happy Mother's Day
For years my mother was a housewife, and after the “kids were grown”, my mother, Joyce Serra became a very successful real estate agent. She retired in 1989 when the real estate market and her career were both on a high note. She and my father relocated to Washington State, where they presently reside.
My mother taught me many things about life, but she also taught me how to be a better Real Estate agent.
She proved to me that in an escrow, when both buyer and seller get along, it is best (smoother transaction) for my client. That sometimes in real estate it is better to give than take, and by giving, the other party will give too – or at least behave more considerately.
My mother taught me that buying or selling a home is a very stressful experience and that our clients are at their worst during this experience. She taught me to stay calm, which keeps my clients calm… no stirring the pot.
She reminded me of the Golden Rule, to treat others the way I want to be treated.
Happy Mother’s Day, Mom, I love you and am grateful to have such a special mother.
Dear Daughter,
What a wonderful Mother's day tribute to me. I am happy you choose the career also but you are a more capable Realtor than I
ever was during my 12 years in the business.
May you continue to serve your clients well and enjoy the many friendships you will attain during your career.
God bless you and your family and know my thoughts and prayers are always with you.
Love,
Mom xxoo

Thank you Mom,
I was fortunate to come to age in an era where women were welcome in the workplace; I was further blessed that as a young woman without typing skills - the only place to put me at the bank was in the (loan) processing department. And then of course in real estate I was lucky to have you as my teacher.
I am proud of all of your achievements and proud to be your daughter! xoxxoxo

Thank you, and I did. I forget sometimes how many people in the business know her.
