Mavligit: ‘Time is of the essence in this business’

- By Rebecca Maitland

Almost every industry or non-profit has a celebrator­y month. Yet, there is not a month to celebrate the real estate industry, and it might be time to consider one.

Most Realtors work very hard — usually all hours, from early morning to late into the night, seven days a week.

“We change people’s lives in a very big way and really care about helping our clients get the best possible outcome,” said Emelie Mavligit, a Realtor with John Daugherty, Realtors.

Mavligit, a Houston native, hit the ground running in real estate 2½ years ago and going strong in helping her clients today.

“I feel very fortunate to have finally found my true passion. I have never had a day I did not enjoy, no matter what the day brings,” Mavligit said.

Prior to real estate, Mavligit spent 10-plus years in public relations and marketing, and a few years in the oil and gas industry.

“I no longer wanted to be chained to a desk, continue business traveling, and events late into the night. I wanted to do something that made a difference in people’s lives. I also wanted to know if I worked hard and did my best, providing top-notch personal service, then my clients would be happy and I’d have a livable wage,” Mavligit said.

Mavligit’s previous careers benefit her real estate clients because she honed her communicat­ion and marketing skills and learned the importance of building relationsh­ips.

Her main focus areas are inside the Loop, the Heights, Garden Oaks, Oak Forest and Spring Branch.

Mavligit is an awardwilli­ng Realtor, with honors such as being John Daugherty, Realtors’ “Rising Star” in 2016 and recently named Houston Top 20 Under 40 Rising Stars in Real Estate for 2017.

Education and industry/market knowledge are important to her. Mavligit obtained six certificat­ions in her first 18 month in the industry.

“I love people and I genuinely care about my clients, and they know they are my priority. Most become personal friends. I always answer my phone and email because time is of the essence in this business. I am a straight shooter and very direct, so I think my clients really appreciate that and trust me. Real estate truly excites me every day,” Mavligit said.
