This month we spotlight Oregon REALTORS® member Julie Gilbert from RE/MAX River City. For the past five years, Julie has invested time and energy into getting involved. She says, “the camaraderie in our business is amazing.There is a wealth of knowledge out there and a number of REALTORS® are willing to share it and assist new REALTORS® in our business.”
Julie has been on the board at Mid-Columbia Association as well as on the Oregon REALTORS® Board of Directors. In addition, she’s volunteered for the Oregon REALTORS® Business Issues Key Committee and Elections Committee. Julie recommends, “get involved in your local and state boards early in your career; you’ll find it rewarding and also good for your business.”
Julie became a REALTOR® after her first career, as a professional kiteboarder. Her and her husband traveled around the world competing and doing exhibitions. “It was a brand new sport, so it was amazing to show people a sport they had never seen. It was not always easy learning the wind and water conditions in places we had never kiteboarded.”
Julie believes if you work hard, treat others like you would want a REALTOR® to treat you, and you enjoy your job; everything else falls into place from there.
