Today we’d like to introduce you to Mayra Herrmann.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Mayra. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco in Mexico, but San Diego has been home to my family for most of my life. My parents moved from Mexico to the U.S. when I was about 2 years old. Eventually my sister and my 2 brothers were born here and we were a very united family. My parents worked very hard to provide the best for us. Having 4 kids was not an easy task and I’m sure things got hard at times. The 4 of us had a great upbringing. My sister and brothers and I are all best friends. I know it sounds corny, but it’s true. I mean it didn’t start that way, but we got there. As the years passed, my parents were reaching the American dream. My dad had businesses, my mom was a stay at home mom while helping my dad, and they purchased their first home. As I got older, I wanted to help people. Couldn’t figure how, but I eventually found that I could help other people achieve their dreams of owning a home. It’s the start to the American Dream. I started working in Real Estate full time about six years ago when I was pregnant with my second son. Before that time, I knew about Real Estate because I worked on a team that was around during the market crash. Fast forward to 2013, I came back and began as my father’s assistant with Coldwell Banker West. It was a great opportunity to work, gain knowledge and be able to raise and spend time with my two boys. At that moment, I had a four-year-old and a newborn. It was great to have my own schedule and be with my boys too. Emi and Wolfie are now nine and five years old. I love being a Realtor and love helping families achieve their home goals. It’s very exciting to be part of the process and have that great connection with them.
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?
I think every business has its obstacles. It has great highs and low points. I have had to try to balance my real estate business with my home life. Being a Realtor has you spending a lot of time with other families. But you have to definitely take time and focus on your own family and other relationships. I would just say to make sure you make time for family and yourself. I try to make sure I don’t work on Sundays. I make sure I spend it with my family and be focused. That way the rest of the week will be very productive.
Please tell us more about your work, what you are currently focused on and most proud of.
I’m a local Realtor in San Diego and absolutely love my job. I’m in 100% with my clients. I know to purchase or selling a home is stressful and I try to take that stress off my clients. Most of my clients and I become friends after the process. So, it’s great. I get to make new friends throughout the time.
Do you have a lesson or advice you’d like to share with young women just starting out?
What I can say to women just starting their career is to not rush. Enjoy the process. Don’t think everything is going to come to you all at once. There will be great points and low ones, but don’t give up. I’ve had moments in my business where I have thought about giving up, but I know something is always great around the corner. Believe me, if you push through just know something great is going to happen. Have faith in everything you do. Do the work!
