Today is a big day!
Today my wings grow a little larger, my dreams get legs and my people get to see a lot more of my heart!
My heart is in serving my clients and their families. My heart is in listening well, advocating fully, negotiating hard and watching dreams and stories unfold. Starting today, I am “Jessica Luginbill, Realtor” under the umbrella of Porchlight Real Estate Group.
I’ve been praying about this for a while and the time has come. I’m excited to begin to share with you what this story looks like, how I plan to have a greater impact and outreach, how I will be able to better serve both buyers and sellers and how, ultimately, the STORIES that come will have a ripple effect of joy and triumph.
While the high level of care, service and work ethic with which I serve my clients is not changing, there are a few things changing…
I have always been led in my business through my faith and through prayer. I have spent most of my adult life compartmentalizing my faith as private and my business as public. Although I have always prayed over my clients, I have not always let them know I was doing so. This is changing.
Although I have always felt called to give and to serve those in need in my private life- and also through my business – I have not made this a constant and consistent part of my business in a way that creates incredible impact over time. This is changing.
Serving people means being a part of their story. Every story is unique and special and, within every story are pieces of humanity that unite all of us. I believe the ability to share stories helps people in the beginning or middle of a touch chapter identify with others and to find hope in their triumph or success. I have not had a medium to share these stories. This is changing.
In this new chapter, you can expect to see these become pillars on which I grow my business.
1. Dig into prayer:
I am committed to being obedient in my faith through my business. I am committed to prayer over and, when appropriate, with my clients and their families. I understand it is non-traditional and, for some, controversial to publicly bring my faith into my business. My clients are walking through a very vulnerable and, sometimes, scary chapter when they make the decision to buy or sell a home. I feel it is a sign of mutual respect to share a vulnerable part of my own life and to commit to using my whole heart to serve their story.
2. Give more:
I am committed to giving more. A lot more. By design I will be sponsoring and donating to local and national organizations with every single transaction. I will listen to the heartbeat of my clients and choose organizations that make sense (also giving each client a choice if they have a cause that is dear to their heart). This coming year I focus on lost and forgotten children. Stay tuned for more on this!
3. Share stories:
I am committed to sharing stories. With my client’s permission I will share the story of their move or sale. The process of building a new home or selling an old, family home. I will share with you the struggles they faced and the joys they experienced. Through these stories I hope to connect you. I hope that if you are struggling with a decision to move or a curiosity of what building a new home is really like, that these real stories can help you.
