When interviewing a realtor, know what their work style is. What's mine? I am a 'facilitator'. Well, what does that mean?

Facilitators monitor, nurture, and manage environments in order to have their agendas fulfilled. I am hands-on and physically engage in my environment in order to achieve my agenda. I have a natural ability to work hard and smart. I have the ability to physically execute a task, or to create an environment, or facilitate a system to accomplish the task for you.

My motto is, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going, and when the going gets tougher, the tough work harder". My solution in nearly every situation is to work harder, and yet I also have the ability to work smart.

I am not a traditional salesperson. I am not easily forced, coerced or manipulated, and I will not do this to other people. In fact, this is deeply offensive to me. On the contrary, I work hard to create an environment for others to make their own decisions. I will counsel, advise or give input only
if invited.

My name is Liz Gandy. I am a Houston and Austin Realtor. My goal is to provide great customer service!

I am very excited in this journey, meeting new people daily and assisting them in finding their dream home or aiding them into their next chapter in their lives.

I am also hanging out with my husband and family out on the lake enjoying the sun and the cool lake breezes. We have two rescue dogs, and two rescue kitties. In my extra time I like to spend time running long distances, completing in half marathons. I spend time doing yoga, and I volunteer at my local neighborhood church as a teacher.
