Today we’d like to introduce you to Barbra Stover.
Barbra, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
My life has been a blessing in many ways. I almost died 20 years ago with alcohol poising, abusive relationships, and I was spiraling downhill pretty quick, buried in the LA / Hollywood Scene. Then, 16 years ago, I picked myself up from my bootstraps, and met my amazing husband at that time, and started an amazing career in real estate. I finally learned what my desires and wants were. I wanted to help people find their dream home and also help families get through the selling process. My business grew tremendously which spilled into a plethora of awards with Rodeo Realty. I now have an incredible office over-looking the Montage in Beverly Hills. I closed 3 fantastic deals on New Year’s Eve. I love what I do. I can now say that I have been sober for 17 years and loving my life as a top producer with Rodeo Realty, and happily married for 16 years. I learned to sing, write music and play piano.
And, I love to help others who need advice on how to get their bootstraps back on and thrive. I am looking forward to another prosperous year for 2018.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
The challenges that I had was dealing with demanding high profile clients. There were times when I wanted to quit; however, believe it or not, I have learned how to be stronger on each deal. I learned to take one step at a time to make sure we close the deal and make my clients happy. Sure enough, after 16 years in business, I keep receiving referrals from my past clients. This makes me smile. Knowing that I can overcome these challenges and still keep my clients satisfied. This is fulfilling in my book!
Please tell us about Rodeo Realty.
I am under Rodeo Realty and my LLC as Stover Estates. I specialize in high-end residential real estate all over the beach areas to Beverly Hills / westside areas. My main focus is Marina del Rey, Playa del Rey, Playa Vista and Venice. Silicon Beach area! I am proud of Rodeo Realty. Syd Leibovitch is an amazing leader and owner of the company. What sets me apart is my attention to detail. I am hands on at all times. I like quality and not quantity. I sit at my own open houses and meet buyers myself. I always like to know what is going on with my sellers and buyers. I have been a guest on Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing shows several times now and I love it!!
I give excellent service with a smile. 😀
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
If I had to start over, I would have started real estate at 18. I am now 52 years young. There is always so much to learn. Each day is a blessing!!
