Sha Hair has been helping people buy and sell homes since 2003 . She became a real estate professional while still homeschooling her three boys . Needing to have a way to prospect that would allow her to continue teaching , she decided to prospect for sellers at garage sales . Reaching out to meet people in person allowed her to become a top producing agent .
By the way , she goes to over 3,000 garage sales a year . Consistency is the key .
Sha currently works with a team who supports her in staging , photography , administration and social media marketing . Having just moved to a new home herself , it became apparent to her that all real estate professionals should have to go through the moving process every few years to remember what it feels like . Sha believes agents should always remember what it is like to walk in a client ’ s shoes .
Sha ’ s hobbies include traveling ( especially anything with whale watching ), cooking and playing with her two shih-tzu babies .
