Alina West Biography

Vlad Gudin people Yana West in front of me is a pretty young woman who recently became a professional in the serious field of buying and selling real estate. Yana is an employee of the solid company Barr Agency and works with real estate, primarily in the northwestern suburbs of the Greater Chicago. But she is not a very ordinary broker. This is what we talk about.

Yana, if not a secret, how did you come to the real estate industry? Well, you need to start, probably, with the fact that before that I had been working in the restaurant business for about TI years. There I learned to be the main thing-to help people so that they are really satisfied with our service and would surely contact us again. And also - they recommended us to all their loved ones and friends.

It is on this - on the recommendations of satisfied customers - I build my business in Real Estate. I think yes. The last example is a million dollars transaction, which is about to successfully end: my clients acquire a wonderful house in the very center of Chicago. But the main thing, oddly enough, can sound for someone, not even the benefit of such a purchase, but what I am convinced-in this house people will wake up daily in a good mood.

This is exactly what they wanted, the house they were looking for for a happy life! And I am very pleased that they managed to help. It turns out that you are the special broker that, first of all, seeks to bring joy to people, and only then thinks about the benefit? It sounds almost like in a fairy tale ... Maybe, but in a different way I just don’t know how to work.

I am convinced that to help people to realize their dreams - and there is my real calling. Yes, I had to work, as probably many, to work, to take overtime, including weekends and holidays. After all, I had a little son in my arms ... But now he is already an adult, and I can afford to work in such a way as to carry people good and joy. I perfectly understand how unusually such words sound in the world where we all live.

But I am absolutely honest in front of you and in front of me. I repeat - otherwise I just can’t do it. But, when I hear the words of gratitude from satisfied customers, when I am sure that they are quite satisfied, there is a feeling that is difficult to describe! As if wings grow, a charge of energy appears, and I am ready to work again and again, helping other people. But what about the money, Yana?

Very simple. Many do not believe in this, having experienced financial blows of fate, but I am convinced that this is all the same. Although, of course, everyone has their own individual situation, and someone may not suit someone. Well, your millionth transaction is a significant argument in this absentee spore ... But let's still return to the beginning. I understand correctly that becoming a professional Real Estate Broker is very difficult?

It's still not easy! Firstly, you first need to take special courses-90 hours of classes over the course of weeks. Well, then you will have to pass two complex tests: the final exam on the training rate and the so -called state Exam. The last in total questions, and it lasts 4 hours. I managed to pass this exam the first time, although only four passed it from the TI applicants.

I think it happened largely precisely because I felt - this is my business, and I can really do it with benefit. So I got a license. It remains only to dream - that would be in America, as in the very advanced country in the world, they learned to issue not only professional licenses, but also certificates confirming that their owner seeks to benefit society, and not to fill their own pockets exclusively ...

Well, I think, still ahead, and we will live before. Moreover, all kinds of innovations are actively entering our lives every day. By the way, about innovation. It is no secret that now almost all issues can be resolved in the online mode. And what about your industry? What are the current trends? Of course, there are modern trends. And I think it's good. But not just a list with addresses, but detailed information about the houses according to the criteria you have chosen, including photos and video tours.

In general, MLS is a modern structure of exchange and delivery of information to customers; Automated real estate assessment system, which gives a deep marketing analysis of the housing transaction, and also offers a number of other useful functions. But I am convinced that in our business there will always be a place for a broker who will lead the client at all stages of real estate transaction.

That's just about these stages I wanted to ask you. What happens when a potential buyer addresses you? С чего все начинается? And everything begins with finances. So for starters, I recommend that my client meet one of these specialists. As a result, it may turn out that a person counts, for example, on a millionth loan from the bank, and he will be given much less.

Or vice versa - this also happens. After we decide on the budget, the client describes in detail all the criteria of the house of his dreams.Well, then a long process of selection of real estate begins, including both the expulsion of offers by e -mail and a trip with the client to pre -selected houses. The whole stage usually takes several months and, as a rule, we look at no less than real estate objects.

Well, in conclusion - paperwork and the purchase itself. I know that under the current economy, unlike pre -crisis times, it is very difficult to get funding, banks are all thoroughly checked and not at all very willingly give large loans ... This is so, but I want to tell our readers that there are a number of opportunities, various financing programs that will come to your aid, even if you have far from the best credit history.

So do not hesitate to contact me and in the most seemingly hopeless cases - I will try to help. In conclusion - what would you like to wish your potential customers, that is, all of us? Thanks to our joint efforts and my professionalism, luck will definitely smile at you! Yana West.
