Q: Tell us a funny or crazy story about your real estate
career.
Showing homes in Whiskey Creek to out of town clients
a few years ago and out in the back yard a big black
racer snake came out in front of me. All of a sudden I
started screaming and ran inside the pool cage. They
ran and followed me. We were all standing inside
laughing and talking about snakes and how afraid I was.
I wound up selling them that house. It became the big
joke throughout the transaction. When we closed on the
house the buyers gave me a gift. Guess what it was... a
rubber snake!
Q: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Selling real estate here in Southwest Florida! We asked Josh about his plans for the year and how
he’ll continue that work into his year as President in
2019.
Donna’s theme for 2018 is “Taking It to the Next Level”
across several aspects of the Association. She spent 2017
perfecting her plan for how that will co me to fruition in
2018. Part of her vision is teamwork, and she will get a
lot of support from 2018 President-Elect Josh Burdine of
RockStar Realty. Q: As President-Elect, how do you plan to use 2018
as preparation for your role as 2019 President?
I plan to be a student of the Presidency role, taking
in all the information I can and understanding the
operational processes in depth. I’m going to be
following Donna very closely this year and making
sure I understand all of the aspects of our 7,000+
member association. Donna is an awesome leader
and she has already done so much to incorporate me
into the process. I’m very excited to support her in
leadership this year!
Q: What are your personal goals for 2018 as
President-Elect?
My personal goals for the President-Elect position are
about the members and supporting President Guido.
I want to see our members achieve more success
and find greater financial reward in 2018. I think this
can be done by continuing to bring education to the
members on important market sensitive topics and
bringing more benefits that can directly impact our
successes in real estate. I want to make sure President
Guido can achieve her goals in presidency and I plan
to do whatever I can to ensure that happens.
Q: 2019 will be here before we know it. What are
your hopes for the leadership team this year, since
they will lead into your year?
One thing we can all agree on is that time stops for no
one and it passes quickly. I think we have a top notch
group of professionals leading our organization in
2018 and my hope for our leadership team is that we
can work together to continue bringing more value
and resources to the members in as timely a manner
as possible.
Josh Burdine will be installed as Association President
at the end of this year.
