In the late 70's I became a real estate agent in Charlotte , NC and worked with Merrill Lynch Townsend until we move to Louisville ,KY in 1982. As soon as I obtained my real estate license I joined Gibson Pfannenschmidt Realtors.I've had my same email and phone number the entire time but the companies have been sold numerous times. I've worked relocation leads for most of my career. Many of my clients have become close friends . It is rewarding keeping in touch with people for decades and being referred to their friends and families. I often hear they still have their housewarming gift displayed.
