ETERNAL OPTIMIST

There is a reason FLOR HASSELBRING is a top-performing real estate broker at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chicago in Lake Forest. She has cultivated a “service and sales” approach to her work, honing a disciplined process for achieving goals for her clients. While Hasselbring offers a wealth of knowledge in relocation, marketing, and technological expertise, she believes that those client relationships are the gold standard for success—placing their priorities and needs above all else.

What has been the most significant barrier in your career, and how have you persevered? I have had well-meaning people, even “mentors,” try to define my capabilities based on their perceptions. Instinctively, it hasn’t aligned with my potential. I am optimistic and make myself available for the best outcomes! After all, you determine your capabilities. I am curious, creative, eager to learn, and naturally driven to excel.

How should women support other women? It is human nature to want to stay in an established circle; bringing women into the fold can make life richer. We don’t always share the same life experiences, and our diversity in thought make us collectively better problem solvers.

What does the idea of power mean to you? Power can move, motivate, inspire, and position you to achieve your goals while supporting those around you. Power can be instrumental, driving one to examine their motivation and values. It can be about letting go of what no longer serves you and allowing yourself to evolve. Significant life transitions and transformative lifestyle changes underlie each of my client interactions. I provide exceptional couseling because I am attuned to my clients’ life journeys and equipped to handle their real estate needs, leaving them to focus on what is most important to them!
