We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Alice Quinlan a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Alice thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Showing clients you appreciate them is something I think most folks want to do – but it’s not always clear how to do it in a meaningful way. What’s one of the best examples of client appreciation you can share with us?

Every time I sell a home to a buyer I decorate the door with a big red ribbon welcoming them to their new home. They also get, Bread, Salt and Wine. “Bread so this home will never know hunger, Salt that life always has flavor and Wine that joy and prosperity reign forever……….Scene from It’s a Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart!

Alice, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I was a Stay-At-Home-Mom for close to 20 years for my three children when I realized they were all growing up and leaving. I needed to do something for myself that would fill me emotionally as well as intellectually where I could help my community as well as help myself. My marriage of 32 years was coming to an end. I decided to go to Real Estate School and tackle this very competitive career. I was fortunate enough to find EXIT Realty DTC. I am now a Five Star Professional Rising Star for 2021 and 2022, and I received the Shining Star Award from EXIT Realty.

I am a Realtor who specializes in helping single women navigate the buying and selling process with CONFIDENCE. There are so many women who are just starting out, going through a separation or divorce or they are a widow who needs guidance. I’m here to help them. I’ve been there and know all the pitfalls professionally and emotionally when you are transitioning from your safe comfort zone to the unknown. I want to empower and guide them through this process with compassion and patience.I also want to be known for my integrity and honesty before, during and after the sale of your home. I want to make the process of buying or selling your home as painless as possible but also fun. Moving is one of the top stressors you will ever experience in your life. I have moved multiple times in the past 30+ years across the country; three of those with children in tow. I know how stressful it can be, and I want to make it as stress-free as possible. Change is hard, but we need to make change a wonderful concept in our lives instead of something to fear. The one thing we can all count on is that NOTHING stays the same. Change is inevitable. Might as well embrace it than fear it. I am constantly learning. This job is ever-changing. You need to be on top of the changes and educate yourself. Knowledge is power. The more training I receive, the better Realtor I will be. I look forward to learning every single day in this business and helping as many people as possible achieve “The American Dream.”

“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.” -Henry Ford

Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?

Yes, absolutely. I follow the The Law Of Attraction @lovethelawofattraction · Health & Wellness Website Facebook page and I live by it. M-A-N-I-F-E-S-T! I fell in love with the idea of The Law of Attraction after watching The Secret. It completely changed my life and my outlook on my life, personally and professionally. You can do anything you put your mind to. You have to believe, put it out to the universe and then be ready to receive it. You don’t worry about the HOW. The Universe will provide. Your job is to TRUST.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

Yes. After 32 years of marriage, I finally got the courage to leave my marriage. It wasn’t easy but it was necessary for my own mental health as well as my daughter’s. I HAD to move the needle in my life. No one was going to do it for me. No one was coming on a white horse to rescue me so I had to rescue myself. I had to dig deep and find my strength. I finally found my inner strength that was there all along. Once I realized that, the sky was the limit!
