Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in real estate but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Sherri Parsons, Principal Owner of Parsons Real Estate Group, located in Virginia Beach, VA, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
We are a full-service real estate company. We help people buy and sell real estate, real estate investors, title companies, and mortgage companies. We also provide mortgage and credit counseling services.
Tell us about yourself
I've been in real estate for over 20 years. Working in all facets of real estate law, title litigation, curative title work, foreclosures, evictions, default servicing, and loan origination. I enjoy helping everyday people understand and realize the power that real estate has to change your life and help generate wealth for your family that lasts for generations.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
One of my biggest accomplishments is the sense of work ethic and community service that I pass on to the people who I work with. They understand the mission and work hard every day to enact my vision for the company.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
It's keeping the same motivation during times when things aren't clear. Or people aren't nice or appreciative. Where you feel you're spinning your wheels. Then you remember what you do it for.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Don't wait to be perfect to start. Just start. Failure is a part of learning.
- Don't get discouraged. The biggest accomplished BILLIONAIRES have failed at one point in time. Keep going, and don't give up.
- Treat your business like you're working a job. If you're not serious about it, no one else will be.
