As a \u201cpleaser,\u201d this seemed completely normal \u2014 desiring affirmation and approval for my own validation. News flash: living this way was not working. The day I started living my life authentically, standing up for myself, speaking out about what I believed in, and stopped looking over my shoulder at who was judging, disapproving or talking about me was the day my life truly began to have immense meaning, freedom and purpose.\r\n\r\nKristie Smith, Indianapolis REALTORIt was then that I quit my coveted corporate marketing career to sow my entrepreneurial oats and build a real estate business from the ground up.\r\n\r\nToday, I\u2019m just me. I do real estate differently! I am fortunate to run my business on my terms -- surrounded by team members who think and work similarly. \"How you do anything is how you do everything\" is the phrase my team gets sick of me saying over and over. Our team\u2019s foundation is built by practicing evidence-based real estate \u2014 using the latest research, market statistics, technology, and proven strategies.\r\n\r\nI am a real estate agent that creates partnerships with my clients to create a marketable product at a price that will sell. My intention with every transaction is to create a WIN-WIN relationship. I am a consultant and work best with those who want to hire a real estate expert to advise them. I don\u2019t like to sugar-coat things. I provide sellers and buyers with real and hard facts of the current market, which at times are hard for people to embrace. I have only had a few people in my life strong enough to give it to me straight, and that impact was profound for me. I want to create that for our clients.\r\n\r\nI know in my heart and soul I was put on this earth to make things happen, create smiles and enjoy the amazing journey. It makes me blissfully happy to see a client sell a difficult home or relocate to Indy knowing no one but me, and to hand the keys to a family buying their first home. To achieve this dream. We all deserve this. YOU deserve this.\r\n\r\nI am also the wife of an amazing man who I don\u2019t deserve: Andrew Smith. He rocks.\r\n\r\nSo my life is pretty great, but it didn\u2019t just fall into my lap. I worked for it, and still work for it every single day. Surrounding myself with great people has been pivotal in my journey to success and happiness.","link":"https:\/\/restvuniverse.xyz\/new\/?author=61","slug":"kristie-smith","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/c99d336fec21c327c684eee4e976d836abd6f12a52bec87b67a002824cb5a6f4?s=24&d=mm&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/c99d336fec21c327c684eee4e976d836abd6f12a52bec87b67a002824cb5a6f4?s=48&d=mm&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/c99d336fec21c327c684eee4e976d836abd6f12a52bec87b67a002824cb5a6f4?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/restvuniverse.xyz\/new\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/61","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/restvuniverse.xyz\/new\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
