48 | March/April 2017 until 9 o'clock, 10 o'clock at night. We're going on a vacation together next week. ey're such an open family and I've always felt connected. Suzanne: We end up a lot of nights eating dinner together. Sometimes we'll all go to her house or all go to my house to eat. We see each other way more than most families do. What do you tell people when they ask about your secret for collaboration? Tiffany: I think it's just our personalities and we work well together. She's very true. She's always 100% her. I think I'm the same way. Suzanne: In real estate I'll give her more advice because she asks for it. But when it comes to the baby, I respect that she's the mother and he's the father. Even though you want to take control, you have to be careful. People have their own ways of doing things. I'll give a little advice here and there, but I try not to interfere with that. What works? Suzanne: A sense of humor is really important. We laugh. We don't take things too seriously. We don't like an argument. We don't raise our voices. It's not an effort. If we had to work at it every minute, I don't see how it would last. If there's something we need to say to each other, we just say it. We also have a written agreement about how we would do things. How we'll split the money, the responsibilities. It wasn't very long. We had to tweak it a few times. But it's about communication and respect. I respected her from a business standpoint because I worked with her when she was at Hutchens. It wouldn't matter to me if Tiffany was my daughter-in-law or not. I respect her as a woman. How do you separate work and family life? Suzanne: at's a thin line of working together and the family part. I think you have to be respectful of the other person's ways with their child. It's one thing to give advice if there's no children. I could give her plenty of advice on Andrew! And poor Andrew, he doesn't get any rest because when we're sitting around, we don't sit around and talk about business, but we don't not do it. Some family might say it's family time, but with real estate, people can call at any time. We'll be talking about the baby and then we'll be wondering about a showing. It's all meshed together. Do you think that contributes to your success? Suzanne: I do. People can always reach us. We're excited when we get a call! We love real estate. If you do a good job and get someone in a good home, they'll love you forever. What is the most special aspect of working with family? Suzanne: To know you can depend on that person to have your back. ere's never any hesitation to help each other. at makes it very stress free. Tiffany: Being able to be with someone that you really care about and have fun with all the time. You're working, but you don't feel like you're at work. And you're going to laugh, because she is very funny.
