Employee name/company name: Teresa Quintana, Century 21 Signature Realty
Business location, phone number, website: 409 Ashman St, Midland, MI, www.midland sold.com
How many years have you been in business (personal and business)? 6 years
What’s the best thing about your job: We help people achieve their goals! My clients’ transactions always involve a goal, whether it’s buying a first home, upgrading a home, selling an investment, or starting a new business. I enjoy helping them reach their destination. I also enjoy communicating with clients in general.
What is the toughest part of your job: Sometimes you have to be the bearer of bad news. It could be that the offer wasn’t accepted (very common from 2020 to 2022), or the buyer backed out of the sale, financing failed, or there were inspection issues. There is a possibility. Also, affordability is an issue for so many people, and it’s hard for everyone. There are many important elements to a transaction, and unfortunately, things can go wrong. I often get rejected for my work, so that can be difficult.
What makes us different from our competitors?: I’m very creative, so that helps me in a lot of ways. Whether it’s providing great marketing for my products or figuring out how to solve problems during a transaction. I also have deep ties to the community.
What you want to say to those who selected you as a Readers’ Choice: I support my community and I’m so grateful that they support me. They also voted my office, Century 21, as the best real estate company. We were all very excited and grateful for this.
