Cathy: And he is one of our candidates for Metro Brokers 2010 board of directors, tell us a little bit, how long have you been with Metro Brokers?
Jesse: I have been with Metro Brokers since 2003, so going into our seventh year.
Cathy: Great. And what features and benefits, business tools that sort of thing do you think that Metro Brokers offers?
Jesse: I think the ability to have the Metro Brokers brand name and also the website Metro Brokers online, are two of the biggest tools that we use with our business currently.
Cathy: What would you say are your volunteer experiences that you have in real estate or in the community?
Jesse: Gearing up to be actively involved with Habitat for Humanity actually just filled out the paper work last couple of months and getting ready to gear up with them. Also I have a passion for a organization called FAME Africa, I have the ability to or, honor to go to Africa a couple of years ago, and just really got excited with what this one group is doing down there as far as bringing medical services out to remote areas of Africa, so I am actually hopefully planning a trip back to Africa in the next year or two, go for a couple of weeks and do some charity work there.
Cathy: That is awesome, why are you running for our board?
Jesse: I just, I have been the Metro Brokers now for about seven years, and I feel at this point, our organization is fairly seasoned I think we have a lot of core knowledge of real estate technology tools and at this point I really want to give back to Metro Brokers, because they have really given so much to us since we joined seven years ago.
Cathy: And what strengths do you think that you have as far as contributing to our board of directors?
Jesse: I think our biggest strength is really staying up with technology and current technology, because our market is changing so rapidly, and just the ability to you know, also kind of bring that knowledge to the rest of the Metro Brokers organization, and the other thing I would really like to help and assist with is recruitment, getting other quality individuals to Metro Brokers that we work with in our industry.
Cathy: All right, well board of directors meeting is in January 15th, and Jesse thank you very much for joining us today on Metro Brokers TV.
Jesse: Thank you.
