Today we’d like to introduce you to Megan Probst.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
My story began in the vibrant Island of Jamaica from very diverse parents. My father discovered the Island in the 70s as a hippy ( the last child of ten) and fell in love with the Island and my mother. My father became an influential real estate developer and hospitality specialist alongside my mother. At four, I moved back to Fort Lauderdale where I later attended American Heritage School and graduated from the University of Central Florida. I always envisioned a career in Law however upon graduating with a Communications and Legal Studies degree, I had a moment of uncertainty that led me to New York City. I am so thankful as I connected with a Fashion Designer and worked as his Marketing Director for two years. The risk was the greatest reward.
It certainly hasn’t been all a smooth ride and looking back, I wouldn’t have it any other way. During my moments of difficulty and challenge, I learned my greatest lessons. Advice to other women would be to nurture and focus on growing your network- the assistance and support I received enhanced and elevated my career. Continually focus on expanding your craft thru education, knowledge: read, read, read. There is so much information at your disposal. Do not be afraid to ask for help and to actively seek for mentors in your life. Analyze and interact with top producers and get involved in professional organizations that will provide an in depth perspective of your market. Remember, it’s never too late to crush that goal focus on smaller steps that lead to the finish line. Reflect on where you started and where you are now, it truly will put things into perspective. Mindset is everything, with a world full of overstimulation its important to remain grounded and to focus on competing/ comparing yourself to no other than, YOU.
I am a connector at heart. I listen to and prioritizes my clients’ needs so that I can provide them with a custom-fit, thoughtful experience from start to finish. Whether someone is looking for a home to start a family, searching for a neighborhood nearest vibrant nightlife or choosing the right investment property, my keen understanding of an evolving market, savvy social media presence, and access to a broad professional network get the jobs done. I am diligent in the search for just the right property and have a level of discernment and appreciation for quality that will ensure impressive results every time.
I am proud to have gained an intimate knowledge of cities spanning across West Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami Dade. I remain actively engaged in local communities, keeping my finger on the pulse for the newest restaurants, upcoming events, and finest retail and commercial offerings. Follow me @meganprobst_compass/ @currentlywithmegan as I frequently post community announcements, sharing my first-hand knowledge with those who want an authentic representation of the surrounding area.
My interview series, Currently, seeks to capture the essence of South Florida and its diverse array of talented individuals, distilling the very best elements of this beautiful part of the world into stimulating, intimate conversations. Join me as we delve into what makes this place we call home so very distinct and discover why it means so much to be called a local.
For good reason, society often focuses more on the problems rather than the opportunities that exist, because the problems need to be solved. However, we’d probably also benefit from looking for and recognizing the opportunities that women are better positioned to capitalize on. Have you discovered such opportunities?
Absolutely, women should understand we can be each other’s support system versus competitors, and by doing so many more opportunities would open up to them. I have a close-knit support system of women who I continually lean on for support, advice, and inspiration.
