Ohana - Ep #121 with Sissy Sosner

Ohana is a Hawaiian word that means extended family and Sissy
Sosner, a Hawaiian realtor, has got a true ohana story for us!
Sometimes it’s easy to forget just how much of a supportive
family we’ve got within the real estate community. Sissy tells us
about a friendship that led to a house-swap, and how she’s so
grateful for the people in her life who connect, care, and
support her in true Hawaiian ohana fashion. Tune in to hear about
what happens when you trust the universe and allow magic to
happen.

Time Stamped Show Notes:

01:00 – She grew up in Hawaii, lives on the island of Oahu,
works on the island of Kawai, and has been in real estate for 8
years



02:30 – Sissy’s CSIRE story about Hawaii being all about
“ohana”



03:13 – Her Caldwell Banker office is her ohana, her church
is her ohana, CRS is her ohana (she got her CRS designation a few
years back), and she has ohana in Cape Cod

03:30 – In early 2017 she read an article on a CRS designee
Nadine who jumpstarted her business on the cape and Sissy reached
out to her

04:00 – Fast forward a few months and they found a school for
their son on the cape, remembered Nadine, and connected with her
there

04:45 – She toured the Cape Cod market, discussed house
swapping, and did a house sway with Nadine when her son had a
week off for Thanksgiving

06:15 – They entrusted their homes to each other and it was
all thanks to the CRS family



06:35 – RRC is the Residential Real Estate Council which
improves the education of realtors and CRS are the Certified
Residential Specialists who have gone beyond the regular training



07:05 – You should never hire a realtor unless they have
their CRS designation because they focus on creating a community
and bettering where they live

07:45 – Realtors are interconnected and family-centered, and
sometimes that isn’t seen when people think “realtor”



08:20 – Nadine had connected her with a friend and made time
to spend with Sissy without any monetary benefit

10:00 – Their house-swap took a leap of faith; the same leap
that clients make when choosing a realtor
