On a small farm in South Africa, for which I am forever grateful, I knew I wanted to serve humanity. Granted, I may not have known exactly how. And perhaps, because I am part of that Millennial generation, rumored to be lacking in passion or drive; I was driven, passionately to break away from any self-imposed, aged, or cultural limits and follow something entirely my own. My love of people and desire for authentic connection were the dynamic forces behind my advances. I am delighted to have worked in the service industry for the past 15 years. And I did so exclusively, from a young age, eventually working at an elite restaurant. It was during this time I was captivated by the remarkable, weird, diverse, wanderlust characters I encountered. My favorite quote, Paulo Coelho's Be brave, take risks, nothing can substitute experience, motivated me even further. And so, I took the risk and bravely migrated to the United States to gain more experience in Project Management and Hospitality. It quickly occurred to me, that is Real Estate! Now, I am comfortably at home, a South African farm boy, turned Texan Nothing thrills me more than connecting buyers and sellers. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the pride of home ownership. Meeting the needs of home buyers and sellers allows me to experience more of what I love, while providing a service that makes my clients comfortable and prepared. Beyond sales, I trust myself to do a good job for my clients, and I know my clients and I are enriched by the journey. You can reach out to me, give me a call, or text. I am eager to be in your company and offer my expert services. Here to serve I look forward to connecting! Ruben (roo-bin) Jonker (he/him)
