My husband Bob and me visit Mexico
Meet Pat Chrysler
I was born in Calgary Alberta and moved to Minnesota in 1963. I became a citizen a year before I got married.
My husband and I worked full-time, went to college in the evening and had two children (Tom and Alex--3 years apart) over a ten-year period. That resulted in an accounting degree from University of Minnesota, and I worked in finance for years. In Minnesota, I worked at both a CPA firm and was an accounting manager for a local company.
In 1990 my husband, Bob, took a promotion within Dow Chemical, and we moved to Cincinnati. I took a job with them also. Eventually my division was downsized. My severance package included an excellent outplacement service that provided a battery of aptitude tests. I scored off the chart on sales--accounting was clearly not the ONLY choice of careers for me!
Another benefit of my separation package was that I received six months severance pay that allowed me the financial freedom to establish myself in a 100% commission career. In 1993 I entered the real estate world and haven't looked back once! My dad used to say that every cloud has a silver lining. I have never forgotten that. It is my motto in life. Everything can be turned into a positive direction. That is also my philosophy in real estate.
Because of my diverse experience in both education and business, as well as my personal experience with both relocating from one country to another plus relocating within the States, I am well equipped to access a client's needs based on their situation. I not only listen well and empathize with their desires, but I also bring my experience to bear to work well within the parameters of a client's situation and needs.
My philosophy is, "People never make bad decisions. They make the best decision based on the information they have at the time. If it doesn't work out, most often they were missing an important piece of information at the point of decision-making. My job is to make sure my clients have all the important pieces." Each and every client receives personalized attention, both before and after the sale. I'm here when my customers need me!
