50 Days of Leaders – A Friendly Approach

September 11, 2008, 3 pm
Reading Time: 1 min read

RISMEDIA, Sept. 12, 2008-Today’s featured Realtor on the Rise, Cotina Mayes, opened her own real estate firm at the start of 2008. To those that know her best, this was no surprise. A natural teacher with an approachable personality, Mayes’ professional approach is helping Totally Virtual Realty succeed.

Cotina Mayes
Totally Virtual Realty
Birmingham, Alabama

Opened her own firm: In January 2008

A natural teacher: Mayes offers seminars for first-time buyers.

Mayes markets herself in every community. She has branched out with her own company-Totally Virtual Realty-and is succeeding. “People feel a personal touch with her because she treats clients with respect and dignity,” says one of her colleagues. “She doesn’t make you feel that you are not qualified to be a homeowner. Instead, she addresses you in a soft, respectable, friendly, but professional approach.”

Each day RISMedia is proud to introduce you to one of our 50 Realtors on the Rise for 2008, chosen by the editors of Real Estate magazine and selected from hundreds of entries. We congratulate this year’s winners for stepping out of the box, bringing a new outlook and charging ahead through the changed real estate space.
