Miyako was born in Nagasaki, Japan but moved to San Diego when she was one and a half years old. She currently lives in Rancho Sante Fe with her husband and their seven children. She loves to do yoga, cook, or play pickleball in her free time. She recently underwent a triple bypass surgery due to cholesterol issues that she has dealt with her whole life. Even with this challenge, she wakes up with a positive mindset and sets new goals physically and mentally for herself. Below we will share a few questions and answers from our podcast that I found necessary to share.
Q: What got you into real estate, and what makes you so passionate about it?
A: A few years ago, I decided to change careers, leading to real estate. I chose this path because of my love for working and helping people—the interaction with people, the bonds that you make. Assisting families to sell and find their homes is so rewarding!
Q: Can you share with us a little about your success?
A: Even though I am a relatively new agent, I grossed 8 million in sales volume in my first year of working.
Q: What do you attribute your success to?
A: I feel if you love what you do and are passionate about those things, you will always make it a priority to do your best!
Q: Can you share with us about the new property video we have been working on together.
A: The video bio and property videos are great marketing tools because the industry is currently trending towards using them more. I think it’s essential to stay on top of trends for your company or brand to be successful these days, so that’s why we created this new type of production with its use-case benefits! It has gotten me out of my comfort zone while also helping lead toward feeling comfortable seeing myself up close through our latest offering – all from just one project together (and without any additional costs)!
Q: What helps you get inspired everyday?
A: First and foremost, my family and health inspire me to get up and push forward every day. I know I was given a chance to be here, and I’m inspired every day by that.
