Interview
with Mick Nazerali
October 27, 2008
By
Olga Diaz Potter
1.
As
our Whitman County Association of Realtors President, what is your take on the present
state of our Pullman/area market?
We have to be
positive about the situation. Reassure clients
and let them know that real estate is cyclical. Eventually
things will pick up.
2.
What
do you see as the benefits of our new ReaderKEY2 lockbock key?
The greatest benefit
is that we can check who’s been in the homes we have listed online. It is a six year contract that includes
mutual/reciprocal agreement with Latah County. It
is a benefit for our association.
3.
How
and when did you become a REALTOR®?
I became a realtor in
1990….two days from graduating from UW. I
had sold paint for Sherwin Williams, and actually sold cars while I was in school. My dad, who was involved in investment properties
and was a licensed agent, pushed me into real estate.
We came to Pullman in 1997 for grad school at WSU and didn’t leave.
4.
What
would you recommend to do as a new Realtor®?
Enhance your
designation. There are a lot of designations
out there…e-PRO®, GRI, ABR, and a new Sellers designation that you can get. Find your niche.
5.
What
is your favorite part of your job?
Meeting People! Earning their trust!
Finding their dream home and having them recommend me to their friends. I’m a people person!
6.
Tell us about your family…..
I have a beautiful,
supportive wife…Cindy and three children: Aman,
who is seven and is in second grade at Sunnyside, Safiya who is five and in Kindergarten
at Sunnyside, and Nina who is two and a tomboy like her brother, Aman.
7.
Complete the sentence: “My favorite time of the
day is… in the afternoon because I get to hang out with my children after
school. I get to do all their after school
activities like Soccer, Basketball…all their activities.
8.
If there were 6 more hours in the day, how would
you spend them?
As much time as I
could I would spend it with my kids and family. I
also would play GOLF. It takes about five
hours so having six extra hours would be great.
