To my delight, Louise quickly agreed to participate in this When Good Just Won’t Do series of blogs which honestly shouldn’t surprise me as she is always ready to help out Milestone and her fellow agents in any way possible.  Louise is the President-Elect for the Greater Louisville Association of Realtors and is active in the Kentucky Association of Realtors®.  She has also served on many Realtor® Association committees as well as community and civic organizations.  Her husband, Dennis, was awarded the John R. Carpenter Memorial Award for Community Service for GLAR in 2009, so you can see that good works run in the family!!

Louise has been a licensed agent selling Louisville houses for 28 years and also has her Broker’s license.  She comes from a teaching background which goes hand in hand with real estate sales as much of her time is spent educating and assisting clients in order to help them make good decisions for their lifestyles.  She attends conferences and training on a regular basis and recognizes the value in continuing education. “It is very important. We cannot keep up with our industry and provide service to our clients without it.”

On the subject of working with her husband, Dennis, and balancing family and career Louise says, “It was actually easier when my husband, Dennis, worked in another profession. I find that we actually work more hours now due to the fact that we are both totally involved in the same profession.” Running their business along with the community and professional obligations they fulfill would make for a busy life!!

When asked to what she would attribute her successful real estate career, Louise quickly pointed out,  “Attitude, tenacity and systems! Without a plan and systems to implement it, a Realtor cannot succeed. The right attitude will turn a long day into a short one.”  What would she do if she were starting over today? “I’m not sure. Real estate is a different career then when I started and it changes daily. I guess if I had to do something differently, I would mentor with someone that I respected for a while to get my feet wet. You don’t know how to sell real estate until you do it with a live audience.”  I suppose there have been a few changes in technology in the past 28 years – good point!!

Finally, her advice to new agents just starting out in today’s environment, “Get involved! Being active in your organization and proactive in committee work at your local board is invaluable. This creates new networking opportunities and hands on education that will be helpful your entire career.”
