You guys, this is a biggie for me. As I get ready to leave Virginia, I’ve been thinking a lot about the people who made this chapter of my life so special. is definitely one who did that for me.
What started as a branding session turned into so much more than that. She became my realtor when it was time to sell my home. She was the one who encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone and photograph my first real estate listing when I was feeling COMPLETELY unsure of myself. I remember questioning whether I could even do it, but she never questioned my ability to deliver for her.
And when that house ended up getting multiple offers the first weekend it was listed, I may or may not have joked that it was obviously because of my listing photos. 😏😂 (For the record, I think her being an amazing realtor probably had a little more to do with it.)
But seriously you guys…she was my number one cheer leader. It really is a gift. She believed in me, and gave me the confidence to try something new when I wasn’t altogether convinced I was ready.
We’ve only known each other for a relatively short time, but somehow she became one of those people who feels like she’s been in my life MUCH longer. Something I never expected when I started this business. I thought I was building a portfolio, but what I was really building were relationships.
As excited as I am for this next chapter in Arizona, saying goodbye to people like Patrina is the hardest part for me 🥺
I’m so grateful our paths crossed, and I’m so thankful for every conversation, every session, every bit of encouragement, and every opportunity she trusted me with.
Some clients become friends, some friends become family, and she’ll always be one of the people I’ll miss most from Virginia. 🤍
