“Awards are validation of your hard work,” says Rookie of the Year regional finalist Cindy Perez. “While the most important part of working tirelessly as a new agent was making real estate a solid career that could financially support me, being named a regional finalist means that I went above and beyond what both my team and customers expected of me,” she says. “It means that I was given the right tools to thrive, and that I was courageous enough to take the opportunity to rise to the top.”

According to Perez, having a clearly defined “why” along with the right mentors were critical to her first-year success. “Anything new can be daunting. You need the perfect combination of desire, tenacity and support. I had all three.”

Perez loves that a career in real estate is ever changing and is grateful for the growth she’s experienced as a person and a professional. “Learning in this industry never ends, and I truly enjoy that,” she says.
