Today we’d like to introduce you to Tina Dudek.

So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
Thank you –

Honestly, I wish I could say my real estate story was “planned”, but it actually happened unexpectedly.  Looking back though, I guess there were signs as I always had an “interest” in real estate… even as a little girl where Sundays were spent in the backseat of my Parents car, driving around neighborhoods, visiting open houses, etc. What great memories  … and again, looking back, perhaps it was a glimpse into my future.  Maybe!

Fast forward to 2005 ….

Relocating to Northern Arizona I wondered what I wanted to do with my time having just shut down a successful youth hockey organization in the Phoenix area (yes, really lol). Once again, my love of beautiful homes rolled my thoughts forward to getting my license thinking meh, maybe I would help just my own family should we need to sell or buy next time around. I mean, why not, right?  Well, once obtaining my license, I sold my own home, and from there, interest in my services started to present themselves.  What started to become clear and noticed is that with every transaction I closed, what I would consistently hear from my Clients was that they loved my “service”, and they appreciated me putting THEIR needs first with every step taken. I guess I was a little confused in hearing this time and time again … I mean, isn’t that what every Realtor does..or should do? Put their Clients first?

Well, 13+ years later, and working both the Phoenix area market & Northern Arizona, I am proud to say that it’s that same approach, that same mindset of “service” vs “sales” that has kept me productive, successful, and with repeat business from clients through the years.  I STILL truly love what I do, I’ve never forgotten where I started – and I believe that has been the key to my longevity in this industry.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Well of COURSE it’s been easy!  (ha, ha …hardly!)

Naturally, as with any other industry and/or career, there are always bumps, and there are always those days where you want to hang up your lockboxes and go home. LOL  It’s natural to feel this way – we’re human.

Early on in my career, the economy fell and real estate as we know, fell with it.  I was forced to change direction, add and subtract to my portfolio, and find new, creative ways to do business.  Was it easy to zig, zag, and regroup? No. However, I felt there were people who really needed my help then, and it was up to me to figure out how to move they and their families forward … . and thankfully, my hard work and creativity paid off.  You know, truthfully, that time period taught me alot about real estate, but even more about myself.  I learned to be flexible and learned how to embrace change, to expect the unexpected, and that the only aspect of my career that I could control was my attitude, my level of service, my commitment to my Client … and if I paid attention to those key points, everything else would fall into place.  Admittedly, it wasn’t, and isn’t, a perfect science, and I still have days I bang my head against the wall, however, reflecting on those early years now overall, provides me a sense of positive confidence in knowing I can face and push through any challenge, work related, market related, or anything else, and be successful.

Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about MyHomeWhisperer – what should we know?
Hmmm, what should you know about MyHomeWhisperer ?  That she is 100% synonymous with CLIENT SERVICE.

As an Arizona resident since 1988, recognized as a Top Multi-Million Dollar Producer with 13+ years experience, I believe my level of real estate knowledge and expertise, unmatched positive energy and relentless passion for serving others,  is what has, and continues to keep me in front of people.

Proficient in a diverse portfolio of Buyer/Seller transactions, including traditional home sales, corporate relocation, service to military/veterans, bank foreclosures & short sales, I truly LOVE what I do, CARE about those I work on behalf of, and BELIEVE it sets me apart from being “just another Realtor”.

What’s the most important piece of advice you could give to a young woman just starting her career?

Put Your Client First – Embrace the Setbacks – Stay True to You – Positive Attitude Always
