50 Days of Leaders: From Drill Instructor to Realtor

August 20, 2007
Reading Time: 2 mins read

RISMEDIA, August 21, 2007–In 2004, her first year in the real estate business, Amy Hall reported $3 million in sales. It was more than luck that helped this former U.S. Army Drill instructor reach such high levels of success so quickly. Read on to learn more about Hall and why we chose her to be on this year’s list of Realtor on the Rise winners:

In real estate since: 2004 Prior to real estate: Hall worked as a U.S. Army Drill instructor for Metro State Prison. First-year numbers: In her first year, Hall’s sales volume was $3 million.

Some time ago, Amy Hall had to have emergency surgery. “I never realized what an impact I had in real estate until I was admitted into the hospital,” she says. Despite both arms having IVs and other medications attached, Hall still managed to oversee all of her deals. “Almost 90 percent of my clients came to visit me—even those from out of state—and most of those still wanted me to put in contracts for them while I was lying in my hospital bed….I love real estate.”

Agents who want to advance their careers and learn what it takes to become successful in today’s changing market like Hall should plan to attend this year’s Leadership Conference in New York City on Sept. 5 & 6. With dozens of industry leading speakers and educational sessions and plenty of high-level networking time, it’s an event not to miss.

We congratulate this year’s winners on stepping up, pushing forward and committing to the real estate marketplace.
