Amanda Ley | Coach
I
have been in the real estate industry for 20 years working for Chicago
Title Insurance Company and one of its agent’s as an escrow officer. I
spent the majority of this time handling multi-million-dollar commercial
transactions on properties nationwide from my office in downtown
Chicago. Over this period, I worked with bankers, attorneys and their
clients to "close the deal." It was fast-paced, intense and rewarding
albeit exhausting work. In 2016, I transitioned to an office in the
suburbs of Chicago working mainly on residential transactions to lessen
the time away from family. This gave me the opportunity to share the
moment when people complete the biggest purchase (or sale) of their
lives which for many is a moment of joy, relief and excitement as they
start a new chapter in their life. I have truly enjoyed working with
people under these typically stressful circumstances, bringing a calming
presence that is much needed to the situation.
When
I paused to reflect on my career thus far, I recognized that I could do
without the breakneck pace of real estate closings but not my passion
for interacting with people as they experience change and challenge in
their lives. In my role as lead generator, I’m excited to leverage my
strong work ethic, empathy and enjoyment of people as we work with
clients to uncover their opportunities and achieve their goals.
