 Rising Star in Real Estate
Name:
Annie Langer
Born and Raised:
"I�ve lived in the Twin Cities western suburbs almost all of my life, including Golden Valley, Edina, Minnetonka and now Plymouth. I could drive around here blindfolded."
With Roger Fazendin REALTORS® since: 2005
Prior to joining Roger Fazendin REALTORS®:
"I worked as an executive assistant to presidents, vice presidents and partners for The Pohlad Companies and Target Corporation and was involved in a commercial mortgage banking business as well as a major accounting firm. I also helped my husband launch and run his small business. I�ve really spent my career assisting and supporting people in major decision-making situations, so the move to real estate has been natural."
Why I joined Roger Fazendin REALTORS®:
"I am determined to be a great success in real estate. After meeting with Andy and Dan Fazendin, I sensed they have their heart and soul in this. It�s more than a business; it�s a way of life if your name is Fazendin. And when I asked around, Fazendin has the best reputation for professional standards, ethics and experience."
How Roger Fazendin REALTORS® helps me succeed as a real estate professional:
"As someone who�s been in business at a high level, but just beginning my real estate career, I feel completely supported here. I can go to Andy, Dan or really anyone here with a question and get an answer. And, when it comes to both formal and informal training, I am like a sponge. So the sales meetings here, the Monday home tours, the friendly banter in the office are great ways to learn, along with the emphasis on outside formal training and certification. And there�s administrative support from marketing materials to computer assistance."
The most candid advice I would give to anyone considering a real estate career:
"First, find a place where you feel supported both personally and professionally. That makes all the difference in the world. Your chance of success increases dramatically when the people you work with have an interest in your success as an individual, as someone who is constantly trying to improve. Second, work hard� everyday. There is no substitute for things like cold-calling, going to open houses, developing relationships and letting people know on a one-to-one level that you are a REALTOR® and you can help them with purchase or sale of a home. And third, develop and nurture a positive attitude. Nothing is more important in this business than helping your clients see and capture opportunities. You can only do that when you see everyday, even every disappointment, as an opportunity."
