The NorthPhoenixAgent is Heather Barr.
I’m a Realtor with Thompson’s Realty and have been in the biz since 2005. I came to real estate after spending 5 years as a school librarian and another 5 as a paralegal, and a few intervening years as a risk reduction manager.
The Story Of How I Got Into Real Estate - Some years ago a good friend and co-volunteer on a Presidential campaign said to me, “You’re so good at talking to strangers. You’d make a great real estate agent.” Being exceptionally unhappy in my profession at that time, I used up 3 weeks of vacation to attend real estate school. I took my RE exams in week 4 and quit my day job in week 5. Luckily the market was booming and my first check arrived in about week 12.
Why I’m Blogging - Since my family constantly tells me, “you could run your mouth off about nothing much for hours,” I figured it was time to start a real estate blog. And when my boss nominated me for BrokerAgent magazine as it’s “Rising Star Agent” I figured I just might have something useful to post. Hopefully you think so too.
When I’m Not Blogging or Real Estate-ing - you’ll find me searching my neighborhood for new shops & vendors to recommend to my clients, reading a couple of good books, 
hanging out with my cat, doing a little yoga, or listening to 80’s music (which is gasp! RETRO nowadays).

I had to look up you up on google so I could get your number so my girlfriend could call you to see if you could help us find a babysitter but I thought this was an interesting idea.
keep it up, if you can talk that much and keep people interested then maybe you can make money at something like this!
I am not sure you helped with the babysitter but if you did thanks ahead of time,
