Victoria Love Realtor

HomeSmart

What was your most interesting job before going into real estate?

Being a trust officer.

Where did you grow up?

Spokane, Washington.

Growing up, what did you want to be?

I’ve wanted to be a Realtor since I was in my early 20s, but other than that, the first woman president!

What do you do to relax when you’re stressed?

Quilting, gardening, reading, biking, tasting wine (worked in the wine industry too.)

If you could meet any well-known figure (living or not), who would it be and why?

Anne Frank. I was obsessed with her as a child. Even had a German shepherd named Ann Frank! We have so much to learn from history…We are often doomed to repeat it.

What is Phoenix’s best-kept secret?

Day trips! There are so many options when you live in Phoenix. The zoo, botanical garden, sports, surrounding areas like Sedona and Cottonwood, even wine country!

What do you love most about the industry?

I love my clients! They are the heart of my work. My motivation to help and please is the engine in my business. Don’t get me wrong, I also love doing an excellent job, but when I can match competence to needs and wants…it’s always a win.

How do you distinguish yourself from the crowd of agents?

Asking questions and being VERY available. It’s consuming.

What is the most difficult aspect of your job?

Multiple conflicting deadlines.

What’s your best advice for generating new leads?

Ask for referrals. Ask for testimonials. DO YOUR FOLLOW UP.

What are you binge-watching/reading/listening to lately?

Jordan Peterson…just starting a new binge!

What’s your favorite meal in Phoenix?

Paulie’s Little Bite of Italy in Sun City. OH MY! Totally authentic Italian and old-school decor. MMMMMmmmm.

Architecturally speaking, what is your favorite building in Phoenix?

I live and work primarily in the west valley, but the mid-century modern Celebrity Theatre is very cool.

What’s the weirdest thing that’s ever happened to you on the job?

I was showing a home on the water where geese were abounding. I went out into the backyard, closer to the water, and must have been in the vicinity of a nest. I was smacked by the mother goose. Let me tell you! That hurt. I got seriously wing-flapped. It bruised. When that close to you, a goose can be really scary.

What’s one thing people are surprised to learn about you?

I once transported (unsuspectingly) a murderer from a crime scene.

What is your favorite vacation spot and why?

The ocean…anywhere… It is magnificent and awe-inspiring, powerful yet peaceful. The sound of the waves, the sand between my toes…ahhh.

What is your favorite city after Phoenix?

Spokane.

In 10 words or less, what is your advice for someone new to the industry?

Work hard; be absolutely honest; service, not money; be competent.

What’s your favorite real estate iPhone/Android app?

Realtor.com and On-X.

Who are your favorite people to follow on social media?

Graham Stephen, for real estate. Chris Martenson, for economics. Joesph Mercola, for health.
