Valerie: Why did you choose Real Estate?
Jay: Real Estate kind of chose me. My parents were in the business! Someone once said “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” That is true for me. Real Estate has linked me with my community and great people that have become great friends. I’m thankful every day for my career!
Valerie: Tell me your funniest real estate moment.
