Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads out there, especially to my incredible husband and life partner, Arash!
As we celebrate this special day, I'm reminded of the incredible influence that fathers have in shaping our lives. Arash's dedication to our family, his sense of humor, and his passion for creating enriching experiences for our twins truly embody the spirit of fatherhood. I am so grateful for the invaluable influence he has on Rumi and River and the lessons he teaches them on kindness. I am also reminded what I learned from my own father, Cyrus, and father-in-law Ahmad, who both exemplify the qualities of hard work, adaptability, and selflessness.
Both my father and father-in-law left Iran in pursuit of a better life for their families in America. Despite facing numerous challenges and significant sacrifices, including leaving behind their own families and home country, they remained steadfast in their determination to provide for their children. Their unwavering work ethic and resilience in the face of adversity has been a constant source of inspiration for both me and Arash.
Their example has taught me the importance of adaptability, as they navigated a new country, culture, and language with grace and courage. Their ability to embrace change and thrive in unfamiliar circumstances has been a testament to the power of resilience and flexibility.
The examples led by our own father's form the bedrock of the values that shape our business and navigate our business relationships. Resilience, kindness and working through challenges are key drivers we bring to our clients as they navigate the real estate market.
As we commemorate Father's Day this weekend, I hope we can all reflect on the lessons they impart and the role they play in our lives. Happy Father's Day to all the incredible dads who shape our lives in countless ways!
