Each week on On a Mission we talk to community leaders who are out to make a positive impact in the area. Today, our host Jack Sears talks with Betsy Waltrip of Selling the South Estate Sales.
I offer a one-stop shop for real estate, estate liquidation, notary services, and personal property appraisals. As an advocate for seniors with the Community of Elderly Affairs, I provide personalized, hands-on support, guiding clients through every step of property transactions and estate management with expertise and care.
How do you define success?
I define success as helping my clients achieve their goals with ease and confidence, while providing exceptional service. It’s about making meaningful connections, delivering results that exceed expectations, and knowing that I’ve positively impacted my clients’ lives—especially seniors who may need extra guidance and support.
What’s your favorite way to get involved in the community?
Volunteer with senior organizations, host educational workshops, support local charities, join community boards, and offer pro bono services to those in need.
