Erin Hull: Just Keep Going

Real Estate Agent Magazine Publisher Judith Dickson sat down with Erin Hull of Bain Real Estate to discuss her real estate career and goals she has for the future.

REAM: Why did you decide to follow a career in real estate?

EH:  I’ve always loved real estate, in my early 20’s is when I really started getting into it. Always watching the market to see what’s new, what’s sold, what houses went off the market and came back on with a face lift a few months later, it just fascinated me. I wish I had gotten my license sooner but am happy to have it now.

REAM: As a young professional what is one of the challenges you face in the industry? How do you overcome them?

EH: One of the biggest challenges in today’s market is the inventory being low is finding a home for my buyer clients. Right now, it’s a waiting game to see what comes on from the day to day and inform my clients as soon as I see something that may interest them.

REAM: What perspective does the younger generation bring to real estate? How can clients benefit?

EH: Technology, since the covid pandemic I have been using zoom like crazy! Knowing that you are able to work from a home office is very convenient. I feel a lot of people like to use the virtual showings if they cannot physically come to see a property.

REAM What do you enjoy most about your day to day?

EH: I love the interactions with all the different people I talk to. You never know where a conversation may lead. I had a woman call me off of zillow and come to find out she used to live in the same town I grew up in. It was pretty cool to have that connection having never met or spoken to this woman before.

REAM What career goals do you have for the next 5 years? The next 10? Where do you see the peak of your career?

EH: I hope that in the next 5-10 years I can be recognized as a top agent in the Litchfeild county area that works hard for her clients and has gained the respect of her peers. They say the first year is the hardest, so I hope by the time I hit the 5-year mark I am hitting my peak and just keep going from there.

REAM What are some of your hobbies outside the office?

EH: In the winter you can find me on my snowboard out on the slopes, from the east coast to the west coast it’s my all-time favorite thing to do. I am huge into outdoor activities, hiking, kayaking, fishing, and archery. I have a love for the outdoors!
