Her Interview
Ten minutes with Sabine
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my positive attitude. I always believe in myself. When I am challenged in new ways, I think positive and always believe that I can accomplish anything I set my mind to. Even when something is scary, when it's challenging, or when it's new, I believe that I will find a way to succeed. Believing in myself has been a constant theme throughout my career and, by doing so, I have been able to achieve nearly every goal I have set for myself.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best advice career advise I have ever received may sound cliche but my experiences have proven it true time and again - when one door closes, another door opens. It may take a little time for the door to open but with enough faith, it always does. And when it happens, what's behind the open door has proven to better for me than what was behind the door that closed.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
To young women entering real estate, I would tell them that this industry will offer you every opportunity to succeed and thrive. Approach your career with confidence, resilience, and a willingness to learn. The only limit you will face is the one you set yourself. Focus on building strong relationships, maintaining integrity, and staying consistent in your efforts. Take action, trust your abilities, and allow yourself the space to grow.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The number one challenge for me in this industry is that I'm not a natural salesperson. I don't have a sales background and I am not very comfortable in making small talk. To face my challenge, I remind myself that being a real estate agent isn't about the commission. It's about waking up every day knowing that today may be the day that I help someone buy their first home, help someone sell so they can move into their dream home or to a piece of land where their animals and children have room to run and play. My biggest challenge is also my biggest opportunity. I have the opportunity to be impactful on what is one of the biggest events in most peoples lives.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
In my personal life, my most important value is the belief that family always comes first. In my opinion, there is nothing more valuable than spending time with family and my pets. This value is at the heart of what I value most in my professional life, work/life counterbalance, which is having the ability to focusing intensely on work to get results then having the freedom to shift my focus to personal time instead of trying to balance both equally every day.
