We had the good fortune of connecting with Fern Milan and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Fern, what principle do you value most?
One of the most critical values for me as a real estate agent is integrity. I must be honest and transparent in all my dealings with clients and other real estate professionals. My clients can fully trust me to represent their best interests and provide accurate and truthful information.

Additionally, professionalism is key. I have a strong work ethic and treat all clients with respect and dignity. I am knowledgeable about the market and have excellent communication skills to keep my clients informed every step along the way to the closing table.

Finally, dedication is also important for me. I committed to my clients and exceed their expectations. The more I put into work, the more they will get out of it. This includes being available and responsive to clients, networking within the industry, and continuously educating myself.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Passion is the driving force behind my business success. It’s like fuel that keeps me going when the road is tough.

Being a real estate agent is challenging, especially when I started as a branded-new agent, moved from a different country with no sphere of influence. I’ve built my business from scratch. It takes time and requires a lot of dedication, patience, consistence and efforts. I remember that I had to get out the house every day to meet as many as people, introduced myself as an agent. Also I had to be almost every day for months to do open house, showing, and all things that people said I should be doing. I was physically tired, and mentally drained from disappointments and objections. These challenges are obstacles on my journey road. Fortunately, I have a good amount of fuel of passion and a clear direction on where I’m going.

My passion is real estate. I love real estate. I can look at houses 24/7. I strongly believe that when we have a passion for something, we become completely immersed in it. It becomes more than just a goal, it becomes a way of life, a purpose. It drives me to take action, to step out of my comfort zone and to pursue my dreams relentlessly. As an entrepreneur, I’ve been thinking about business all the time. I always plan on how to grow business and how to improve myself. And the most important part is to grow business sustainably. Be honest and be real.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would give a cliché boring answer that first, we should start with the city to experience “Atlanta vibes”, visiting the third largest aquarium in the world – Georgia aquarium, Coca-Cola museum, High art museum, Ferris wheel along with Olympics park and then exploring Piedmont park (might want to rent a scooter or a bike for ultimate city experience) and walk along the beltline. If the weather is nice, I would also take my friend to explore all beautiful hikes in North GA as well such as Talullah falls, Cloudland Canyon, Amicalola falls, Stone Mountains, Red Top Mountains, and many more.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to shout out to my mom. She is truly an inspiration to everyone around her. She relentlessly pursues her goals and makes sure that her family is always taken care of. Her dedication for kids is truly commendable.

She always puts the needs of her family first, She works hard to provide for her loved ones and ensures that my brother and I have everything we need to lead a comfortable life and happiness.

Her hard work and determination have also led to her success in her professional life. She never settles for anything less than the best and strives to achieve excellence in everything she does.

My mom’s dedication and hard work are truly admirable, and I’m proud to have such a strong and resilient woman as my role model.
