Interviewer: Hi, I am Kathy
Soltero with Metro Brokers TV
and today we have in the studio with us Mary
Barela Cordova and she is with BC
Realty. Thank you so much for coming
in Mary.
Mary: Hi Kathy.
Interviewer: Tell me a little bit about yourself and your
business.
Mary: Well I'm pretty excited because my husband
Mike and I just opened up our own Metro Broker
office. It's the most recent Metro Broker office opened in the state of
Colorado, last July we opened it and we now have 23 agents.
Interviewer: Wow! That's awesome.
Mary: We are very excited, it's a fabulous location,
we're in Lakewood and we are right
next to Bear Creek, which is great
because our name is Metro Brokers Bear
Creek.
Interviewer: Very good.
Mary: And then my office is BC Realty because of my last name Barela Cordova but I grew up in the BC, in the Bear Creek area.
Interviewer: Okay, so a lot of identification there.
Mary: Yes, yes so we are very excited.
Interviewer: How long have you been in the business?
Mary: I have been in the business 10 years, and
I've been with Metro Brokers for
seven and at about year six, no I'm sorry at about year five, I started looking
into opening my own office, so we took a little bit of time. And a lot of thought, and lot of planning and
it was all set perfect last year.
Interviewer: What about your experience in real estate, what sort of designations do you have in
the 10 years you have been in the business, I'm sure you have probably done a lot.
Mary: I have done a lot, I'm a certified residential specialist, I'm an REO certified, which
means I work with banks and bank owned properties. And I'm also an SRES, which is a Seniors Real Estate Specialist working
with people that are downsizing and that
kind of thing. So I also have that
designation and I'm a managing broker. So I have eight associates that I manage
personally. And one of the big things when we were opening our
office is we wanted to make sure that we had people that were positive, energetic, caring people come
to our office and that's what I'm looking for with my new brokers and actually I'm looking for more brokers now. So I'm on my way.
Interviewer: That's excellent, you are involved in your
community, tell me about some of the programs that you are involved with?
Mary: My husband and I have always been supporters
of Colorado Cerebral Palsy. So that's an organization that's very dear to
our heart because we have some personal experience there with Cerebral Palsy. And we've always supported them and then once
a year, they have an annual car show at the Arapahoe Community College right there in campus. We have a booth there, and we get our name
out there, and we get to meet a lot of nice people and it's just for great
cause.
Interviewer: So for real estate how is anybody going to get
a hold of you?
Mary: Oh wait! We missed one more thing, The Seniors' Resource Center, I am a
big supporter there, as well, I'm so sorry.
Interviewer: We know with your designation that's
important because you have that kind of connection there.
Mary: Absolutely and I am, have been very involved
there, my mother was a social worker there for 20 years and worked with people
that have Alzheimer's and stroke victims and I volunteer there and I also helped
them, they're building a new building. So
I helped to raise money and give money and that kind of thing as well.
Interviewer: How can clients get a hold of you?
Mary: You
can always reach me on my cell phone
at 303-931-5871. And of course if
you Google me, because this is, you know I'm way up there, you are going to see
all my information, but certainly you can e-mail me as well at mary.bcrealty@comcast.net. Just like my name of my business.
Interviewer: Okay, well thank you very much for coming in and
sharing all that with us.
Mary: Well you're welcome and thank you for asking
me to be here and I look forward to helping Metro Brokers grow and now it's a great time to join, it's a
fabulous corporation and we're always looking for excited, energetic realtors
that want to work with us.
Interviewer: Good, Mary thank you very much for coming in
today. We really appreciate, you sharing
all that with us.
Mary: You're welcome.
