‘Queen of the Floor’
My office is on St. Armands Circle, in Sarasota, Fla. There are many high-end restaurants and shops nearby, which means that foot traffic is in abundance. Many people stop by to see our beautiful properties listed in the window. I am a floor agent and have three-hour shifts averaging about 11 shifts a month. This is my opportunity to step outside and start conversations and build relationships. This is my main way of obtaining business and I have been named “the queen of floor” by Drayton Saunders.
I am personable and outgoing and love to meet new people. I have met people from all over the world, and those connections are what keep agents in business. About three years ago, I met a couple on the floor. They came in asking about a building that was under construction at the time on Longboat Key. I had only been in the business about a year at that time and was not as confident as I am now. It took 2.5 years of constantly following up, checking in and keeping them updated on our market to win him over. Now, we are under contract for an $8.5 million condo that closes at the end of 2025. Persistence and determination have been the key to my success!
