You may wonder how we became “Almost Home”. You may also wonder how we tolerate working together 7 days a week. Here’s our story
Chris and I both grew up in the same small town of Burrillville, RI. We went to school together since kindergarten. We had separate friends, different classes, different interests, and we even lived on opposite ends of town. Aside from one shared class, we hardly crossed paths. After graduation, like most people from high school, we carried on with our lives and each started a family. Many years later we found each other, only this time everything changed. We became instantly inseparable. Chris had 3 children from his previous marriage, I had 3 children from mine. All those who have known us could see the obvious “sparkle” in each of us that was never previously there. More than a decade later, that sparkle is still there, and we are still inseparable. This was one of the deciding factors that drove our desire to work together. But how do we make it work when we live AND work together?
Chris spent years in upper management. He is very analytical. He is “the business man”. Initially, when I became licensed early in 2010, Chris spent his off hours working on my websites, the photography for my listings, and the floor plans. By 2014, I was blessed with enough success that he was essentially working two jobs just to keep up with my needs. This was the year that he left the corporate world of management to join me full time.
Prior to real estate, I spent years in retail and bank management. Real estate had always been a dream of mine, but it’s a big step to leave a weekly paycheck with excellent benefits for the world of the unknown. Thanks to Chris’s support and encouragement, I followed my dream.
Now, here we are…Almost Home. Chris and I have been working together as the “Power Couple” since 2014. We both have different responsibilities, which keep us working together without stepping on each other’s toes. Chris handles a majority of the “back of house” things like business plans, marketing, presentations, and financials. I’m more in the “front of house” since my focus is on networking, social media, negotiations, and contracts.
Our mission, though, is the same. We both believe strongly in service above all else. Whether in corporate management, retail and banking management, or real estate, there is no substitute for exceptional service. Everything else falls in place when you take care of that one little piece. Chris and I have never “sold” a house. That’s not what we do. That’s not who we are. We are not in the sales industry; we are in the service industry. This, I feel, is why we are trusted. Our job is to determine the goal of our clients and make it happen seamlessly. Whether we are marketing a multi-million-dollar estate, helping a first-time homebuyer, working with a military relocation family, or a referral from a past client, we strive to deliver MORE.
Chris and I spent most of our lives in Rhode Island. We recently relocated to Southwest Florida to embrace the sunshine and escape the snow. Many of our clients suggested that it would be amazing if we could have helped them on both sides when they moved out of New England and into Florida, so we listened! We are now licensed in Florida and Rhode Island. Sure, we have a beautiful office. But our job is on the road, where our clients need us. After all, our inventory is quite literally on the road. We both love to travel, and now we get to do that while helping clients at the same time.
So that’s our story. We look forward to meeting you and hearing YOUR story.
