Amber Barrett joined Pointe3 Real Estate in October of 2018. Before joining Pointe3, Amber received her Master’s in Psychology and had worked with parents for 17 years. From that experience, Amber incorporates her innate ability to listen and offer individualized plans into her role as a Broker. She provides top-notch individual attention to ensure her clients feel heard and achieve their real estate goals in a low-stress manner.
I sat down with Amber to learn more about her for this month’s Agent Spotlight.
1. When and why did you get started in real estate?
I just recently started; I wanted to get into real estate because I find joy in helping people. This allows me to combine my wanting to help others with my excitement over homes and looking at the different features, décor, layout, etc.
2. Why did you join Pointe3 Real Estate?
I joined Pointe3 because I liked their commitment to customer service and being there for each and every client. I also liked that they not only offered buying/selling, but they offer rental and relocation assistance as well.
3. What neighborhood(s) do you specialize in?
I’m partial to neighborhoods that are close to Green Lake, so Greenwood, Phinney Ridge, Fremont, Wallingford, Roosevelt, Ravenna, and of course, Green Lake.
4. What is the most challenging/gratifying aspect of being a real estate broker?
The most challenging part of being a real estate broker is helping clients understand their wants and needs vs budget and location. The most gratifying is when we find the right place!
5. What do you foresee in 2019’s real estate market as we move into the Summer months?
I definitely foresee the market speeding up as the weather warms; the sun brings us out and that’s when people really push to find the right place.
6. Do you have any advice for someone looking to buy or sell a home in today’s competitive market?
Work on your wants and needs list. Figure out what you can and can’t live without and be realistic. No matter your budget, it’s important to understand that you can always get everything you need, but you won’t always get everything you want.
7. Tell us about you! Where did you grow up and where do you currently reside?
I grew up all over the U.S. but call South Carolina home. I live in one of my favorite neighborhoods-Greenwood.
8. What are your passions or hobbies outside of real estate?
I love to cook! And I thoroughly enjoy reading. When I have the time, I enjoy getting out and either camping or traveling.
9. What are your favorite things to do in the area?
My favorites are walking Green Lake, finding the best tacos, eating ice cream at Frankie & Jo’s, and checking out live music.
10. Why should someone choose you as their real estate broker?
I’m passionate about finding you the right place and dedicated to putting in the time needed to do so. Pointe 3 strives to provide “Nordstrom-like” service and I do, too.
