Today we’d like to introduce you to Claudia Fuentes.
Hi Claudia, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today.
I started my real estate career in August 2021. I was working as a full-time speech-language pathologist at a school district in San Antonio. I decided to jump into the real estate career full-time in June of 2022. From August 2021- June 2022, I was working on my real estate business after work, on the weekends, and on holidays.
I was fortunate to have clients who were patient with me as I embarked on this new journey. I am thankful for my husband and family who supported me with this new change in my life. It has been rewarding because I am learning so much from my market center and I can be a trusted advisor for my clients.
In my free time, I have a wine blog on Instagram called “@claudwine.” I love learning about wine, sipping wine with friends, and sharing a glimpse of my life on Instagram. I incorporate wine, fashion, and daily lifestyle. I was introduced to wine by my dad. I enjoy the company of my dad and we love talking and drinking wine together.
He loves California red wines and now I tend to gravitate towards that type of region when choosing wine. It has been a fun adventure expanding my knowledge and having fun with wine.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Starting off as a dual career real estate agent had its challenges. I was new to the industry so I had so much more to learn. It was difficult juggling two careers that take a full-time mentality. I worked late hours, on weekends, and anytime I had time off from my full-time job to work on my real estate career. One struggle I faced was a client who told me it was best to have a full-time realtor who had more time for their needs.
For the wine blog, the challenge is to post consistently and post content that the viewers want to see. I would get discouraged when I would compare myself to other bloggers. Ultimately, I knew people want to see my content and support me because they love me. I am happy to share my creativity with the world.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Keller Williams Realty?
