Monica Adams - I'm the owner of Creative Property Solutions. I started doing real estate investing full time in March 2007. I began by specializing in short sales. I hooked up with several mentors that showed me how to negotiate short sale and save peoples homes from foreclosures. I loved working the short sale's, negotiating with the banks, and helping out homeowners so much that I decided this would be my Niche in real estate investing. Since 2007 I have saved over 100 Colorado Springs homes from foreclosure.
So you're probably wondering-Why 471-Pink? Well when I first got started I needed to brand my business. I didn't want to be like anybody else. I knew I needed a catchy marketing phone number that ended in a 4 letter word. I knew that I loved the color pink, even my car is pink J. So I thought, hmm maybe my phone number should end in pink and all my marketing could be pink. So I immediately called Quest and 471-Pink was the only number they had at the time. I've since then used the phone number on all my marketing and now I'm known as the Pink Lady.
Before I got into real estate I worked for the Colorado Springs Police Department. I worked in the records section as an ID Clerk. I used to be the fingerprinter there. I aspired to be a crime scene investigator. I even have my bachelor's degree in Criminology and Masters Degree in Forensic Science. I really loved my job at the police department, but the more I worked for somebody else, the more I hated it. I wanted to work for myself and run my own business. So I started to learn and take a bunch of classes in real estate. I quit my job at the police department a year after I got started in real
estate. I loved it so much; I wanted to do it exclusively. I went from working 40 hours a week to about 100 hours a week. But trust me, I love it. I couldn't trade this in for anything in the world. |
