Today we’d like to introduce you to Crystal Plummer.
Hi Crystal, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I am originally from small-town Louisiana. Like many others from the area, the job opportunities and income potential did not match what I wanted for myself, so literally, I moved to Houston (in 2006) with very little money, a job interview (as a bank teller), and a prayer.
After working in various positions throughout the banking industry I took a position as an assistant manager and almost immediately discovered that corporate politics were not for me, I wanted to release the ceiling on my pay, and I needed to focus more on finding something more fitting.
In early 2017, I began taking real estate classes, while still working full-time, but Nest Builders was not officially formed until 2018 and became a brokerage this year, 2021.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
My mom, who pushed me to attend real estate school, had a massive stroke after I finished my last class before I could finish the real estate exam. I took 45 days (mostly unpaid) to be with her and make medical decisions in another state. After her condition became stable, the new balance became taking care of her, my first priority, and continuing to start this new career path.
As she is permanently disabled, my focuses are constantly on figuring out processes, systems, on increasing productivity. I am proud to say with this becoming the main focus in 2021, with the help of my profit coach, I have seen great progress.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Nest Builders is currently a residential real estate (buying, selling, leasing, and investment properties brokerage.
One of the things we’re most known for is helping clients relocate to the area, and our Youtube videos with helpful tips on buying and selling real estate in the area. Thanks to our blog, Instagram, and Facebook Group, Katy Mom Connect, we’re able to help new Moms to the area build friendships, provide resources, and share community information. We are super proud of our group which is currently over 4500 members and has a 90+% engagement rate.
We all have a different way of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
At Nest Builders, success is about doing our jobs well. We want to be recognized as a company that listens, thinks outside the box, advocates for our clients, and continue to progress towards our mission of Build Community. Build Expertise. Build Home.
