the "REAL Perfomer" in Real Estate

 PATTI LYLES has  experienced an enchanted life in the music industry as a professional singer for over 30 plus years. Starting at the age of 12 when I did my first commercial for COCA-COLA.  Remember "I'd like to teach the word to sing..."  I'm the freckled-faced girl with long dark braids and a big toothy grin, holding up a coke bottle on top of a mountain.  I did more memorable TV commericals and San Francisco musicals during high school.  Most of my career I worked for DISNEY.  I sang and danced for so long my red hair began to turn grey.   So I retired from Disney and became a full-time REALTOR®, where age is a feature - not a bug.  I still do voice-overs and giggle work for movies, commericals, and radio.  My list can go on and on.    Snooze.... stay with me now. Your Question is:  But how does any of this stuff benefit anyone now?

My Answer: the government wanted to get their hands on the money I had made in the entertainment industry.  So I started investing into Real Estate, big-time.  In the 80's I bought property all over Los Angles and surroung areas, the West Coast and Pacific Northwest.  I started "flipping" these properties for profit 2 decades before that term became a household word.  So much so, in the mid 80's the DRE demanded I become a licensed Agent.   How many real estate agents can say they have bought and sold more than 40 homes that THEY HAVE PERSONALLY OWNED?    Me, Me....I can!  

Unlike other Agents, I've mastered the role of THE BUYER & THE SELLER.  I've played the role of Buyer, Seller and Agent so many times I've become a solid mass of scar tissue.  Riding out 2 decades of ups and downs in this awesome industry.  This should make a big difference to you and any Agent that comes up against me in a comparison test.  Odds are I'm the only agent you'll ever know whose "performed" on both sides of the Real Estate table. Did you know that only 42% of real estate agents own their own home? 12% of them own investment/second homes.  Only 1 % of Agents own their primary residence, multiple rental properties, commerical property and have 20 years of resale experience.  My skills will benefit someone years after any transaction gets closed.
