Today we’d like to introduce you to Jo Ann Ahmadi.
Hi Jo Ann, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I was in my early 20’s when my husband and I bought our first house. I truly loved shopping for our house. I felt I’d be a great realtor. So now over 30 years later, I’m still in selling homes and continue to love my job!
In February 2006, I was very busy working and and had listings and buyers I was working with. I started to feel sick. After visiting with my doctor, she ordered a couple of exams. My diagnosis was not good. I was diagnosed with a rare form of Acute myeloid leukemia. I went through a denial phase. I felt I was too busy to be sick until my doctor called me and asked, “do you want to live or die?” It took a little tough talk to get me to move and take action.
After several surgeries, chemotherapy, live support and a stroke. I’m still here in the real estate market that I love. Working with my clients and helping them live the American dream, of owning a home. 🏡♥️
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?
The only challenge I faced was after recovering from cancer- I learned that I license had expired. I was so upset I cried a lot, then I came to realize- cancer took a few years from my life . I’m not going to allow it to take my career. I retested and passed the test with a great score.
Other than this , I have been fortunate to have amazing partners to assist me in getting my clients to the closing table.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Orchard ?
I recently moved my license to Orchard. I have to say, I love everything about my company. We offer other services to help sellers sell their home.
I have been with many other brokerage companies before- hands down Orchard is my favorite.
What matters most to you?
What matters most to me is, I want my clients to know that they will always have my upmost support during their process of buying a home.
I understand this is probably the most important part of their life and a huge investment. I take all of that into consideration so I feel privileged that they have chosen me to represent them so I do my best for all them. It doesn’t matter if they are buying $100k or a $3 million dollar home. My clients all have the best I can possibly do for them.,
