We had the good fortune of connecting with Ruth King and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Ruth, putting aside the decision to work for yourself, what other decisions were critical to your success?
Dedicating my business to the Lord was the best decision that I could have made concerning it. I began my journey as “The Model Realtor” when it came to building my real estate brand and had a 5:00am revelation of the fact that I was building MY brand instead of God’s kingdom. Being in the marketplace requires wisdom, strategy and above all divine direction. With that being said, The Model Realtor rapidly morphed into The Kingdom Realtor which will leak into all of my other facets as well. In real estate, I want to show that morale and principle stands higher than anything else and my clients will receive the upmost standard in services on my behalf.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
As a real estate professional, I believe what sets me apart is my tenacity to serve my clients at my fullest capacity. No matter what the circumstances, I will do everything in my power to make sure my clients are satisfied with their new home! I’m excited about what is going on in the real estate market in Miami because there is so much growth occurring collectively is different parts of the city. Miami Gardens(formerly Carol City) , for example, is undergoing another major makeover! So many new developments underway to cater to the new population that is migrating from all over the world.
I’m nowhere near where I want to be professionally but I have to say, I am still excited about where I have gotten to now. I’ve been able to build up a client base strictly from my sphere of influence and attract not only residential but commercial clientele as well. I’ve endured plenty of rejections thus far, however, the more you face rejection, the greater your success will be! You have to learn to overcome rejection or you will always be discouraged in the world of real estate.
What I want the world to know about not only The Kingdom Realtor but my story as well is that i never let the discouragements keep me down for too long, I always decided to push and have forward movement. I’ve been graced for this journey and I’m so excited about what God is doing through me because I decided not to give up on myself even when my circumstances told me to do otherwise. I trust in the plans that God has for me, the future and the hope that He has promised me. I can only pray and believe that my story will be proof of Him in my life.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
When it comes to Miami, this is the perfect place for a getaway. For starters, I would have to start with brunch in Brickell for good eats and even better views. The Craft is the perfect spot to grab some great food(whether it’s breakfast or lunch) and be able to walk along the beach just down the block. Miami is just a great place to explore because you’ll always meet other friendly people and tourist just like your self discovering one of the most amazing cities in the world. I would highly suggest taking a drive down to Key West and going on an amazing adventure scuba diving in Isla Morada. I’ll never forget seeing a real life ship wreck in the ocean and just being in awe of the sight itself. Miami is much more than the parties, drinking and nightlife, I would want outsiders to experience wholesome fun when they come to my amazing city!
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to thank my real estate broker, Louise Belzince of Belzince Luxury Estates for being there every step of the way to not only teach me but encourage me as she shows me the ropes. Real estate is a process and if you do not have a broker who is mentoring you and encouraging you along the way, I highly advise getting a new broker. Without her pouring life into me, I would have never thought I would have gotten to where I am now. I’m still breaking into the business, but I know as long as i follow my mentorship and teachings, I will see plenty of success within the next 6 months.
