Experience, passion keys to Realtor’s success
Jeff Bulman, a Realtor with John Daugherty, Realtors, has been working in real estate since right after high school, so to say the least, he “knows the ropes” and the details that only experience and years in the industry can teach.
“Real estate chose me. I was the president of an organization in high school, and the owner of the Century 21 office in Friendswood called our teacher needing someone to work in their office. At 16, I started making coffee and real estate brochures. By the time I was 19, I had my license, and my broker’s license at 21,” Bulman said.
However, he did spend five years as a real estate specialist for a real estate relocation firm, where he was responsible for selling corporations’ purchased homes from their relocation employees, handling homes in more than 35 states. In this position he honed his skills on how to sell homes in any market. He also learned why homes do not sell and how to get them sold.
With 21 years since Bulman began his career in real estate, he continues to love what he does. He looks forward to every day and what it may bring, such as possible new listings for his clients to review, showing homes to clients, or making sure all the paperwork is in order for a closing.
“Unlike other markets affected by the winter weather, we sell homes year round in Houston. For example, we saw a large increase in sales in November. So, I encourage those on the fence about selling their home to consider putting it on the market now, for it is a great time to do so,” Bulman said.
Bulman hails from the Dallas area, grew up in Friendswood and has called the Bay Area, which is also his focus area, home for 30 years, so he knows the area’s neighborhoods and the communities well. The Bay Area includes League City, Friendswood, Clear Lake, Pearland, Kemah and Seabrook.
He is also a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist.
Bulman is known for being a strong advocate for his clients, being available and ensuring their goals are met.
“At John Daugherty, Realtors, our motto is the client above all, and that is the foundation of what I do every day, working hard for my clients. I love it. It is my passion,” Bulman said.
