The Connector
So far, Caira Button, 28, has visited 47 countries. A lover of travel, she plans to check off new locations each year. Experiencing the world through her own eyes impacts her business in substantial ways, she says. “There is so much to learn about the world and others each time I visit a new place. I also find this incredibly helpful in my real estate career, as I have a better understanding of others’ cultures or communication styles when helping interna- tional clients find their next home.
When Button and her fiancé moved from Phoenix to a studio apartment in Chicago, Button didn’t know a single person. “I had to make all of my friends from scratch,” she says, recalling her struggle to build a support system from the ground up. She doesn’t want anyone in her sphere to go through the same thing. So, she hosts quarterly get-togethers with her clients and others she has met along the way. “Everyone leaves with new friends.”
Her career, she says, is more than selling houses. She’s realized that she is a community builder and adds value beyond the sale. “I have impacted people’s lives, and they have impacted me,” she says.
