Prior to becoming a real estate broker, I had a unique opportunity to work for three Fortune 500 companies in both pharmaceutical and wireless communication sales. I began my career with Nextel Communications and then progressed into pharmaceutical sales. My pharmaceutical career found me at both Wyeth Pharmaceuticals and Eli Lilly and Company. I share this with you because so many of the qualities necessary to be successful in my past professions are the same required to be successful in real estate.
