Business
Who says midwifery and real estate have nothing in common? For Seattle-based broker Mel Parsons, her background and abilities as a midwife helped her carve out a niche for herself in the real estate industry. She’s now managing an incredible real estate team with a GCI of $865,000 in 2018! She couldn’t even believe that only six years ago, she experienced collecting food stamps, babysitting other people’s kids during summer, and figuring out other resourceful ways to live out of very little money. When they lost their third baby, her pain and grief made her despise other women who successfully gave birth. But they were also struggling financially, so she evaluated herself and thought about what other things she could do with her capabilities. For someone who didn’t even have any value of homeownership back then and could hardly pay their rent, she tried her luck in real estate and took her licensing exam in 2015. From then on, she jumped in on every opportunity she could get to learn from the geniuses in the industry. And with her genuine and nurturing personality, she’s continuously growing her business through providing a high-touch service with their clients. Join us as Mel gives a glimpse of her wonderful but also painful journey as a midwife, how she transitioned into real estate, and the great people she looks up to who help her pave the way to success, of which she is really proud of.
