Business Spotlight – Clay Fowler joins Town & Country REALTORS
Town & Country REALTORS warmly welcomes veteran agent Clay Fowler to the sales team.
According to a press release from Lyndsay Best – a Digital Solutionist with B3 Creative Agency – Clay is a Jackson native who comes to Town & Country with extensive real estate experience of nearly six years in Jackson and the surrounding areas.
“The best part of real estate is the unknown,” Clay said, “Every client, deal, and day is different in this field, and the anticipation of what a new day will bring keeps me motivated and excited about what I do.”
Before he began selling real estate, Clay kept his career experience local, working for the Jackson Generals – the Arizona Diamondbacks Double A Southern League affiliate for two years.
He made the jump to real estate in the fall of 2014 and has been in that field ever since. He makes it a point to be not just familiar with the area but to be involved in the community through avenues such as local sports and the Exchange Club.
“I was born and raised in Jackson, so it’s very satisfying to help this city grow through my work as a real estate agent and my life as a citizen here,” Clay said, “This is a community worth investing in, and this career path is just one way to do that.”
Outside of real estate, Clay enjoys playing golf and spending time with his wife Shelby and son William.
He describes himself as always ready to have a good time with a side of dry humor. His even-keeled personality meshed well with the personality of Town & Country, contributing to his decision to join the firm.
“I love the culture here,” Clay said, “Town & Country enjoys a positive reputation in the community, and the support from the broker and his staff is wonderful. I could have worked anywhere, but this was definitely the right choice.”
