We had the good fortune of connecting with Ligia Trask and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Ligia, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I always wanted to work for myself, to have the ability to control my schedule, while taking care of my family financially but also being able to manage my household.
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
My name is Ligia Trask I am a realtor. I worked for the school system for many years so I could be with my kids. I always wanted to be a realtor but I had a schedule that allowed me to be there for my boys. I got my real estate license and held on to it. Eventually I ended up having to quit my job so I could help more with our family business. When COVID hit we had to shut down our business, so I was sitting at home with a real estate license, that was my chance to give it a try. It was not easy in the begining, to overcome the challenges it was necessary a strong mind, determination and hard work. The lessons I learned is never take anything for granted. Every experience we have in life is teaching us something that will be useful, no matter how bad the situation is, always look for the lessons in it and keep moving forward.
In my business I pride myself in helping people find a home, a home that will fit their needs and the needs of their families. My attitude is that people are more important than money, I focus in building a relationship with my clients and help them to overcome the challenges of buying a home in this competitive market. I use my experiences in life to help guide them and protect their interests sometimes even at a personal loss, by using this approach people know I am genuine and they chose to work with me. I have been able to build a brank only my second year, to have an oline presence and be amongst the top producers on my team.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
It depends what the friend is interested in, usually I have friends visiting from Brazil, they love going shopping. I take them to the Sawgrass mall. I love going downtown Fort Lauderdale to check out the restaurants and happy hour in various locations.
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My family first of all for believing in me and trusting in me. That gave me the drive to work hard and proceed.
