Today we’d like to introduce you to Maritza Soto.
Hi Maritza, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I always knew helping people is what I wanted to do. I took a leap in faith and decided to go to the medical field. I started as a medical assistant and did that for five years and decided I wanted more. I attended nursing school but working full time and having small children got really difficult. I was promoted to office manager once my manager retired and I absolutely love the opportunity but I knew I wanted to do more and spend more time with my family. I was always in love with the idea of real estate but I was always too scared of change.
After my second child and COVID, I finished real estate school and started my journey in real estate, this has been the most stressful but best decision I ever made for myself and my family. The flexibility with the schedule and the smile I put on families’ faces when they purchase a home brings so much joy to my heart and a feeling that will never get old. If you told me ten years ago I would be doing real estate today, I would laugh. I always played it saved and was always scared but helping families and individuals find a place to call home is something I’m looking forward to doing until I retire.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Real estate is a difficult road, but just like anything else in life, persistence is key. Their times where I wanted to give up because I was used to a steady income. Thankfully I joined a team with great mentorship and guidance that pushed me even while I felt like giving up.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
Value Roc is a brokerage established in Houston, TX by my broker Jeremy Roberts. I believe that joining a private brokerage gives us, his agents, more personalized help. When I started in real estate, I joined a big real estate corporation and felt overwhelmed and limited. Making the transition to Value Roc was one of the best moves I did in my career. Since I was new to the field, I had so many questions and my broker helped me and still does. I feel that sets me apart because my broker doesn’t limit me to one area in real estate, most do, if a client wants to purchase a single-family home, then later purchase commercial building im able to help my client with any real estate need. I feel this allows me to provide elite service to all my clients.
Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
If anyone you know is interested in purchasing, selling, leasing or investing in any real estate, I would be glad to help. I can be reached by cell, email, Facebook, or Instagram.
