Blake’s Biography
Hello,
I wrote this biography for one reason:
The only emails or calls I look forward to receiving
are from PEOPLE WHO I FEEL I KNOW ON A
PERSONAL LEVEL.
There is nothing worse than a STRANGER contacting you.
Personally, I started noticing that when I was on
someones email list, I would unsubscribe simply
because i didn’t trust their information and, frankly, them.
You probably already know that
information alone will not fully assist
you when it comes to your next real
estate decision. You need to be sure
you receive that information from a
reliable source.
In other words…
SOMEONE YOU TRUST
With me taking that to heart, please allow
me to share with you a little about myself
so I don’t become just another name on your
computer screen. I want to do this because
I honestly feel I have some valuable insight that
will benefit you on your next investment or sell.
That is why I am going to do everything I can
to get you to read my bio and more importantly,
ASK ME FOR HELP!
As a small child I was always interested in freedom (as were
most children) and looking back on it, I see why I chose a
career with flexibility, and a competitive environment. As
far as I can remember, I always wanted to catch the
biggest fish, hit the most home runs, and now offer
the best service. My parents instilled that drive in me.
Growing up with just enough, I learned at an early
age, you have to work for what you want. People have
freedom of choice. If they don’t like you they don’t have
to be around you. I like to consider myself a likable guy!
As a teenager, growing up in Olive Branch, MS (the fastest growing
city in the United States in 2010), I was around
a number of real estate agents. In the late 1990’s and early
2000’s there was a huge boom in Desoto County, MS leading to
people jumping into real estate that never gave it one thought
before the boom. It was like the gold rush in California!
People came out of the woodwork.
The eye opener for me, being a little overly attentive, was
that I started noticing the different personalities and character
traits of other real estate agents.
I noticed that the best agents had a passion for serving
others and an equal passion for learning trends in their
market as well as having full knowledge of the homes and
condos in their area.
I knew that if I could continually work on selflessly
serving my clients as well as studying every subdivision
and property in Oxford possible, I had
no choice but to be a respected agent that people,
(hopefully like yourself) would be happy to allow me to
serve them.
My Rookie Year
I dove right into real estate at the age of 22 in January
2007 after graduating with a Marketing degree from Ole Miss.
I started with Prudential Magnolia Realty and was determined
to make my mark on Oxford. Within the first year I had
almost 20 clients happily involved in a home or condo
and started receiving testimonials. It made serving people
addictive in that I seemed to be a part of satisfying their
real estate needs. It was great! It still is!
My Next Move
I was later approached by an ex-wide receiver from Ole Miss
named Bill Flowers. Bill asked me to come work with him and
we took his company from a lowly start-up in Late 2007 to
one of the top 10 out of 40 real estate firms in the first year of doing business.
Training and research became my obsession.
I was (and still am) determined to give the best
service in Oxford when it comes to real estate. I’d like
to say, I am getting there, but I am always trying new ways
to improve.
A Slight Turn of Events
I am now part of the RE/MAX team and we have more
resources than you could ever dream of. We are able
to find foreclosures instantly as well as other elusive
buys. With the combination of my hard work and
RE/MAX’s support, I am POSITIVE I can serve you
well enough that you will want to tell your friends!
Looking Forward To Meeting You,
P.S. As of October 2011, in just 6 months, I am now in the Top 10 Among Remax Agents in Mississippi. It is people like you who put their trust in me, to do the best job possible. I assure you, I will do everything in my power to make sure you get the best service and make the best decision in your next real estate move.
