Ashley Soileau is an up and coming agent from my home town.. I am so excited to see her grow in this industry. I believe she will do great things… I’ve asked a few questions to Ashley so that way others can get to know her as well! 

What would you tell millennials about getting into real estate:

From the outside looking in, real estate agents have it easy. The truth is, real estate is anything but easy. Selling real estate is more work than you might imagine, and it requires a lot of hard work, dedication and sacrifice. Just like any other profession, real estate has its highs and lows. It’s not a get-rich-quick scheme, or an easy career for someone without the proper training. But if you love personal interaction, marketing, and being self-employed, working as a real estate agent can be incredibly rewarding. It’s all about growth mindset and looking at failure as a new opportunity.

Favorite part of the job :
Handing clients their keys on closing day. It means that I successfully coached, mentored and supported another family through the journey of buying their new home. It’s just such an awesome feeling to play an integral part in someone’s major life decision, for which I am truly grateful. It’s one of the most humbling and fantastic feelings to be a part of such a major life event.

3 words to describe yourself:
Passionate
Trustworthy
Reliable

I have had a pleasure of getting to know Kelly more recently and she is a top notch Realtor. Her love that she has for her job and her community doesn’t go unnoticed. Here are a few questions that I asked her…

What would you say to millennials who consider this an “easy” profession to get into?

 Starting a business from scratch is not an easy task. As a Realtor, you are President/ CEO/ Marketing Executive/ Accountant/ etc. for YOUR own business. Your success depends on your commitment to all aspects of the business.

What is your favorite thing about your job?

 As a very organized and detail oriented person, I enjoy coordinating all of the steps in the buying or selling process to ensure a seamless transaction for my clients.

I look forward to meeting you and am eager to walk the real estate path together, whether buying or selling. With a background in accounting, I possess a strong attention to detail, which is crucial in real estate transactions. I am committed to providing exceptional customer service to my clients and treating them the way I would want to be treated – and my standards are very high. As a former member of the Texas Association of Realtors, Longivew Area Association of Realtors, and Greater Tyler Association of Realtors, I am experienced in representing both buyers and sellers.

In effort to serve my clients in the best manner, I continuously train and serve on various committees. I am a member of the National Association of Realtors with a certification as a Pricing Strategy Advisor.

I enjoy being involved with several committees at RAA including the Events & Community Outreach Committee, YPN Committee, Honor Society as well as the Professional Development Committee.

Aside from real estate, I am a devoted wife and mother of two amazing children! We attend St. Landry Catholic Church in Opelousas and are proud supporters of Opelousas Catholic School. In my free time, I enjoy saltwater fishing with my husband, reading, and spending time with friends and family.

We LOVE Dana… The room is never Dull when Dana is in it. Here is what our Agent Spotlight had to say when we asked her a few questions….

What would you say to millennials who consider this an “easy” profession to get into?
I would say to anyone thinking of starting a career in Real Estate that it is the same and as much work as starting any company. There is no easy button. In order to grow and maintain a career in Real Estate you have to be willing to put in a lot of hard work. You need a great balance of grit and compassion along with a very strong drive and work ethic in order to succeed.

What is your favorite thing about your job?’’
My favorite part of my job is taking care of my clients, whether it be getting their house sold or helping them with purchasing a new home. It is such a blessing to get to know each client and walk them through the process knowing that they have entrusted me to assist and protect them in one of the biggest decisions of their lives. It is truly a blessing and an honor…something I will never take lightly.

What are 3 words to describe yourself.
Compassionate, Tenacious and Absolutely Hilarious
