My name is Patrick Mahony, I have been practicing Real Estate in Phoenix Arizona since the beginning of 2006. Wow, what a crummy time to start a Real Estate career. In my previous life I spent 17 years as a commodity trader at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The open outcry business changed dramatically after the debut of the electronic trading platform. I came home on a Monday and asked my Wife of 18 years if she would like to move to a warmer climate. To this day I can not believe that I lived more...in those Chicago winters. By Friday my Wife Daragh had chosen a Town called Gilbert, in the Sunny state of Arizona. The reason we moved to where we still live today was the schools. Gilbert Unified School district 41. In my opinion the best school district ever. In the greatest City ever.
So why did I choose Real Estate. It started with wanting to flip houses. You remember flipping houses. Buy a home for 100K, paint it and sell it for 150K. Free money. Well, luckily after my previous experience as a trader, I knew we were in for a correction, and that there is no such thing as free money. Although In my wildest dreams I did not think it would be this big of a correction. I decided before I was going to risk a dime, I would learn everything I needed to know about Real Estate in Arizona. The price of land. School systems. Future plans of development, water supply, and local Government. A host of other details I won`t bore you with. During this time there was a loud cracking noise, and people started talking about foreclosures. The rest is history.
Here is what I practice as a Realtor. Treat people as you want to be treated. Answer the phone, respond to emails. No pressure, honest opinion. Work hard, and work smart. I really enjoy my Career. I am building a long term Brokerage. Maybe my wonderful children will take it over some day. Probably not. I have been blessed. My three children, Phelan 15, Peyton 11, Quinn 10, are incredible kids, destine for greatness. My Phela less |
