Meet Mayan Rohrer | Real Estate Agent

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

Hi Mayan, as a parent, what have you done for you children that you feel has had the most significant impact?
My daughter was born the day before Mother’s Day in 2020. The way I’ve shown up as a working mother is different than I anticipated. The lessons I’ve learned over the last two years, I hope, will allow me to make a positive impact on my daughter’s life.

Before I became a mother, it was important to me to have a clear division between my career and personal life. That went right out the window for many parents as we faced living, working, and educating in lockdown. Due to limited childcare options, my daughter came with me to showings, closings, and client meetings. She was my shadow for months. The division that I thought was important was no longer an option. The more I had to include her in my work, the more I realized the positive impact watching me navigate motherhood and a successful career will have on her.

As she gets older, I think including her in my work when it’s appropriate, allowing her to hear conversations about boundaries, and making sure she realizes she’s my priority will give her the confidence to achieve her goals and set limits for herself.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I worked in marketing and communication before getting my real estate license. To be honest, I hate sales, so real estate was the last career I ever envisioned for myself.

What sets me apart from others in my industry is that I’m a resource to help my clients reach their goals. I’m not here to “sell” them anything. When I have a busy working mother as a client, they don’t need me to persuade them to purchase something, they know what they want. I’m here to have the systems in place to make the journey from point A to point B as simple as possible.

The way I work with clients is very systems oriented. I want them to feel at ease and that their questions were answered before they needed to ask them. As a working mom myself, the more prepared I am in effectively serving my clients, the earlier I can focus on my own family.

Managing real estate transactions has been easy for me from the very beginning. I love a good checklist and coming from the marketing space, project management was one of my strengths. I felt comfortable with negotiations and getting clients to the closing table from day one. What I struggled with was setting myself apart in a competitive market. There are so many real estate agents, good ones too, ready for your business. While I was good at marketing others’ businesses, I wasn’t as good at marketing myself. It felt salesy, and like I said, I hate sales.

It took time to build the confidence I needed to show up authentically and it’s still something I work on. Building a database of happy clients willing to refer me to friends, family, and co-workers also helped. Now, rather than try to sell my services, I’m able to show up as a trusted resource. This shift has been monumental in my success.

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 live in Loveland, so if I have the time, I like to take friends on a little Front Range tour.

After picking them up at DIA, I would stay at The Curtis. I think it’s such a fun and unique space. We’d walk around Downtown Denver and grab dinner at Tamayo.

The next day, I’d take them to brunch at Root Down and then we’d drive to Red Rocks. If they’re feeling adventurous we could do a workout or just enjoy the views.

We’d then drive up to Boulder for a little shopping and maybe a drink on Pearl Street.

After Boulder, we’d drive up to my place and get dinner in Loveland or Fort Collins. My favorite places right now to take people are Henry’s in Downtown Loveland (their Caribbean Steak Salad is amazing) or The Exchange in Fort Collins.

The following day, I’d take them on a Northern Colorado tour, taking them to my favorite spots like Horsetooth Reservoir, Devils Backbone, and stop at Sweetheart Winery in Loveland. If I’m feeling like a splurge, we could take a helicopter tour with Macdonald Heli Tours.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to shoutout two groups who have made a lasting impact on my life.

While attending Colorado State University I was active in Zeta Tau Alpha. I lived in their house on campus for almost three years and served in various leadership positions. During my years at CSU, I was given many opportunities as a Zeta that I didn’t seek on my own. Others saw the potential in me and gave me the confidence to take on more and more responsibilities and lead others.

After college, I sought similar camaraderie and found it in the Junior League of Fort Collins. Junior League provided similar opportunities to build relationships and serve my community. Again, the women I grew alongside encouraged me to serve in ways I wouldn’t have sought on my own. I was an active member for about a decade and served in numerous capacities.

I’m honored to have been a part of these two groups that both serve the local community and build up their membership of female leaders. Had I not been given the confidence to lead in those organizations, I’m not sure I would be where I am today.
