Each week on “Around Town,” our host, Tom Reber, talks to members of the First Coast community who are making an impact in their part of town. Today, Tom speaks with Stephanie Thompson of DJ & Lindsey Real Estate.
Founded in 2018, DJ & Lindsey Real Estate has quickly established itself as a premier brokerage in the Jacksonville, FL area. Our mission is to provide five-star service with exemplary communication, ensuring that every client feels valued and understood throughout their real estate journey. We believe in the power of kindness and strive to make every interaction a positive and memorable experience.
What was the biggest obstacle you had to overcome in your business?
In my real estate career, some of the most significant obstacles I’ve faced was navigating an oversaturated market coupled with tougher market conditions and changes in real estate regulations. The market was flooded with agents, making it challenging to stand out and attract potential buyers. Additionally, evolving regulations added layers of complexity to transactions.
What is the most enjoyable part of what you do?
The most enjoyable part of my job as a real estate agent is undoubtedly the opportunity to connect with new people and help them achieve their dreams of homeownership. There’s something incredibly fulfilling about guiding someone through the process of finding their perfect home, especially when they initially thought it was out of reach.
Every day brings a new challenge and a new story, and a new solution for me to find. I find immense satisfaction in the sincere gratitude expressed by my clients, knowing that I’ve made a positive impact on their lives.
Moreover, the dynamic nature of this industry keeps me engaged. From strategizing marketing campaigns to spotlighting listings through video tours, there’s always something new to learn and implement. The thrill of seeing my listings and activities gradually increase, fueled by a positive and optimistic outlook, is a testament to the hard work and dedication I put into my career.
Ultimately, success for me is measured by the heartfelt thanks from my clients and the lasting relationships I build along the way. It’s these moments of genuine connection and the ability to make a difference that make my role as a real estate professional truly rewarding.
What are your biggest goals in the next 12 Months for your business?
Over the next year, I aim to help over 45 families find their dream homes while maintaining excellent communication and customer service. This goal is not just about numbers; it’s about making a meaningful impact on people’s lives and ensuring they have a seamless and enjoyable experience throughout their real estate journey.
