I recently came across this great article about a feisty and intrepid Irish Location Manager called Catherine Geary. Location Managing just happens to be my former career, and reading the article certainly brought back a lot of memories!
I could not help but be struck by the similarity between that career and what I now do as a real estate broker… Understanding a buyer’s idea of an affordable dream home and then doing the legwork to find it is not too different from figuring out what a director wants for a specific scene and what the producer wants to pay for it. Managing a busy open house is not that far from protecting a location as a hundred equipment-laden technicians walk through the door!

Whether my clients are elderly and moving on in life or young and finding their starter home, it is a thrill to meet them and just know what they need before they are even able to articulate it. Helping my clients get from a concept in their imagination to an actual physical reality is exciting, rewarding and every bit as fulfilling as my career in the movies!

I recently decided it was time to move on in my life… and that meant letting go of the home where I celebrated my wedding, raised my children and mothered their friends. It meant letting go of the four walls that had been the second home for a community of young people and the backyard
