THE REWARDS OF “DOING YOU”
Posted by Ana Gramling | Currently 4 Comments »
I have always called myself “the lucky girl”…
I was born on 8-28-58 (yes, I’m getting OLD) and, in most Asian countries, the number 8 is considered lucky…I believe this is true!!!
From a very early age, I learned that my purpose in life was to help others. So, it’s not unusual that today I am a Realtor® helping my clients to buy and sell real estate.
But, what TRULY brings me the most joy is my personal commitment to giving back to our community and to serve others during their time of need. If you hear me say “I’ve got your back” know that I MEAN IT!!! Loretta Lynn once said about her life, “I just want to matter”. This statement has become my personal mantra.
Two weeks ago, I was interviewed as a candidate for San Diego Magazine’s Woman Of The Year for their publication on women who change the city. I am humbled, and extremely excited to share with you that I am a finalist for this prestigious award!!! This award recognizes “dynamic women who work to create positive change and contributions to the San Diego community”. What I can tell you, is that the list of women who are likewise being considered have contributed to our city in ways that will make you SMILE…CRY…AND STAND UP AND APPLAUD THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS!!!
So…you’re probably asking yourself…”What has Ana done to garnish such accolades???”
Anyone who knows me will tell you that every Monday morning I am one of thousands of volunteers who deliver meals to homebound Seniors on behalf of Meals On Wheels. I can’t think of a better way to start my week!!! I LOVE MY SENIORS and I can honestly say they are all my friends! One of my Seniors, Josie who is 83 years “young”, is a founding member of the “Madres” organization. The Madres are affiliated with the San Diego Padres, whose mission is to sponsor underprivileged youth to play baseball and softball in San Diego County. Through Josie’s sponsorship, I too am now a proud member of the Madres.
I am also the President of the homeowner’s association for the downtown condo community that my husband and I live in. I spend approximately 20+ volunteer hours per week on behalf of our homeowners association and can proudly say I have made a positive difference to our community. If you are ever in downtown San Diego, I welcome you to call me as I would love to take you on a tour of our building!!! Who knows, you just might like it enough to have me represent you in a purchase of a downtown condo!!!
In addition, I mentor several real estate agents as I am pleased to have the good fortune to have had some success in my real estate career as a resale agent…especially in short sale listings. I can boast that I have a 100% success rate in all my short sale listings…something I am EXTREMELY PROUD OF!!!
