Joyce
Rey
As a former Realtor in the city of Atlanta selling properties for I did a silent prayer and asked whose niche market became luxury homes , due to one of my peers dubbing me the title of “ Realtor to the Stars ”, I found myself nestling into this title . However , my dilemma was to figure out a way to stand out in a new city and up against luxury home Realtors who had long history and reputations in that market , and whom also had the market cornered . I eventually had a light bulb moment , and I decided to go back to my roots , which were in Los Angeles , and seek out the top agents in that real estate market . I thought it would be helpful if I taped into what was happening in an environment that I grew up in , and what I could familiarly identify with . This proved to be not only inspiring , but it truly gave me the wings to stand out and go shoulder to shoulder with the veteran agents in my new city at that time .
One Los Angeles stand out agent in my research was the Beverly Hills second to none , First Lady of Real Estate , Joyce Rey . Also known to be The Billionaire ’ s Broker , Joyce Rey has been trailblazing and setting the bar standards high for many years . There was just something very natural when I read articles about her that encouraged me to step out and step up … and fearlessly I might add . And it worked ! At that time the price point for a luxury home in Atlanta started in the $ 600,000 range . After reading what the top agents in Los Angeles were
to list a property for at least $ 1Million . Well to make a long story short , my first million dollar listing came at a list price of $ 5,695,000 ! That was just the beginning ; soon I landed a listing on Billionaire ’ s row in an upscale area of the city called Buckhead , which was also where my office was located . Soon after , I felt that I had proven to myself that I could indeed stand shoulder to shoulder in this market and I to this day thank my never before met … at that time , long distance mentor Joyce Rey for helping me reach that level of confidence as a luxury Realtor . Fast forward years later in Los Angeles , I see a lady in my rearview mirror at a gas station . I looked twice because there was something very familiar about her . To my surprise I realized that it could very well be Joyce Rey ! I immediately leapt out of the car to go confirm whether or not it was her , and to my delight it was . How incredible was that to meet her in person after all ? Now , I am no longer a Realtor but rather the owner of a marketing agency , a partner in an online affluent business and social community , and new blogger with a blogazine™ , and I am beyond thrilled that the extraordinary Joyce Rey has granted me an interview with her for this debut issue of The Contour of Luxury blogazine™ . She graciously invited me to her home for a one on one interview with her . I ‘ ve now shared my story behind how we met , now learn more about Joyce and her career experiences . Enjoy ! ~ Alexis
