What is one habit that has helped you succeed?
“One habit that has helped me succeed in this industry is being empathetic. Each appraisal has a borrower on the other end, going through what can be a very stressful process in their pursuit of homeownership. Being cognizant of that is an important habit that has helped me succeed.”
