For Mother’s Day, we are excited to highlight a great mother-daughter duo here with us at Gold Nation: Mother, Kary Smiley, and daughter, Sarah Redin, from our Auburn office. Together they power an awesome real estate team as they work in harmony to provide outstanding real estate service. But believe it or not, this natural pair did not begin their real estate careers together.
WE’RE AT GOLD NATION BECAUSE… “WE LOVE THE GORGEOUS AUBURN OFFICE AND RE/MAX’S BRAND RECOGNITION. TRAVEL ANYWHERE AND RE/MAX IS THERE!”
Kary and Sarah both earned real estate licenses in 2007. Starting on their own, they worked for different brokerages. Eventually, both found themselves working in the same office, and the partnership naturally began to form. As one needed extra help, the other one would step in, and vice versa. They began to see the benefits of working together and always having someone who has their back, and continued to move forward as such. In 2011, they joined RE/MAX Gold Nation and officially began to market themselves as a team!
“[AS MOTHER AND DAUGHTER], OUR WORK TOGETHER IN REAL ESTATE JUST NATURALLY HAPPENED” -SARAH REDIN
Kary and Sarah love the opportunity they have to work together. As they serve their clients, they know 100% that the other can give the same quality of service they do, giving them the confidence needed as they work and delegate together. Each is able to reach further and produce more with the power of their teamwork. As a family team, they treat their clients like family, making them their #1 priority. Kary and Sarah can trust each other no matter what, a trust that is worth its weight in gold in real estate.
For any mother-daughters out there thinking about going into real estate together, their advice: Go for it! They also advise making sure you know each other's strengths and weaknesses. In their case, Kary is more of the social one who can take clients out to tour homes, while Sarah’s strength is in technology, including running the social media. They use their differences to their advantage and together create a whole team that can best serve their clients and their business.
“EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN STRENGTHS, MAKE SURE YOU FIND EACH OTHER’S AND WORK WITH THEM” -SARAH REDIN
In general, working in real estate makes it very difficult to set work-life boundaries. When working with your mother or daughter in real estate, it is extremely important to set boundaries, Kary and Sarah advised. A fun thing they have established together is a safe word for “we’re not talking business.” While at a family BBQ or Sunday dinner, they have set ground rules so they can make sure they take the time to exclusively enjoy life as what first brought them together, mother and daughter.
We are thrilled to have this awesome mother-daughter duo as a part of our Gold Nation community!
