Despite being relatively new to the real estate world, Top Agent Lim Bances of Culture Estate in Springfield, New Jersey has already skyrocketed to phenomenal success. Her first year in the business saw her ranked as the company’s top producer.

Selling primarily in the Garden State’s Middlesex and Union Counties, Lim and her team of four assistants and twelve agents specialize in auctions, short sales and foreclosures. With her unbridled energy and positive, enthusiastic approach she has charmed buyers and sellers alike and has achieved a stunning rate of referral business that hovers around 75%. “I’m so thankful for my team. It feels amazing to work in such a positive environment where everyone’s opinion matters. I appreciate all their hard work and dedication that has made this team such a success,” she says. “I’m also deeply grateful to my three construction crews, and in particular Genaro Ayala and Daniel Mártir.”

Lim’s client loyalty and appreciation is best illustrated by her perfect five-star rating on real estate website Zillow.com. Among the many glowing reviews of Lim’s service is this testimonial: “Words cannot describe how lucky I was to work with Lim Bances. I would highly recommend her to everyone. She guided me the whole way through this crazy process with such care and professionalism. Lim understood the importance of getting me my first investment house and followed up on ALL angles possible to ensure that I would be able to attain my new house. She made the process seem like a piece of cake. She kept me informed, educated me on the process, and continues to follow up with me. I can’t thank her enough. I agree with everyone else who has given Lim five stars. She gives 110%. She is all about integrity and excellence. Extremely detailed and patient and on top of all this, she is such a kind soul. I really can’t imagine getting any better service than this.”

With a background in purchasing homes at auction, and having flipped 20 homes, she is ideally suited to serve her clients who are interested in doing the same. Her stunning achievement of selling 50 homes in her first year is testament to the hard work and commitment with which Lim approaches each and every transaction, and she was the top listing and selling agent in her office for 2017.  “My clients come back to me and refer other clients because what I do is a different type of real estate. I always get them a good deal on properties,” says Lim. “I feel very blessed because all the clients who work with me refer me to a lot of people. The most beautiful thing I hear from my clients is that they’re grateful to have found the right agent to work with.”

Lim is an inspiration to everyone who meets her. While English is her second language, she has no difficulty expressing her concern and caring for her clients. “I hear a lot of people say that I’m inspiring because of my language barrier,” she explains. “When I started in this business my English wasn’t very good. But now that they’ve seen me succeed, it motivates them. I’m very enthusiastic and my energy levels are very high. I love to help others.”

Lim is deeply committed to her career and her clients, and equally devoted to her family. She and her husband have been married for twenty-three years and have three beautiful daughters.

“I’m so grateful to my husband for all his support. I couldn’t do this without him. My family is not just an important thing, they’re everything.” she says. Lim finds that even when she’s indulging in non-work passions such as spending time with her children or playing volleyball, she is constantly taking business phone calls or scheduling work appointments.

Gratitude is a fixture in Lim’s life. “I’m grateful to Johnny who put his trust in me, and to the entire Culture Estate family. I’m so thankful to the person who introduced me to real estate, and especially my friend and mentor Luis Leiva who believed in me and gave me his time. That is the best gift of all.”

As for the future, Lim ultimately hopes to open her own brokerage some day. “I feel very blessed to have accomplished so much in this business,” she says. “and to have the right people around me. I’m so happy to be a part of the six-figures club. I never, ever thought I was going to make it this far, but God has big things in store for me, my team, and my family. I want to motivate others, and to help them grow. That’s what I love. I don’t take no for an answer. If you have a dream, follow it. If I can do it, anybody can. Thank you, God.”
