Demetria Walker Inspired to Have a Stellar Career by Former Oakland Raiders

Do you remember what inspired you to expand your horizons and to become a winner? Demetria Walker does.

The Oakland Raiders were winners during the early years of her career. She believed, she, too, could become a winner. She joins the fans in Raider Nation by a belief that the Oakland Raiders can reclaim their glory and inspire young people, even now.

On this Black Friday in 2010, Walker is one of many whose industry has been affected by the ups and downs of the economy. Black Friday is a day designed to boost sales in the United States. The winning spirit and last-minute victories of the Oakland Raiders cemented her belief to be committed to excellence and to never give up. In some ways, Black Friday is a day consumers can become victorious if they rise up early and make wise purchases.

Let's just say that excellent preparation for Black Friday gives millions of consumers victories in saving money. Some folks even pushed in the doors and tackled other consumers to make it in the stores and, figuratively, to a goal line and "touchdowns" to save a little money.

Demetria Walker has 23 years of experience as a sports enthusiast and business woman. Early in her life she would accompany her big sister, Damali Binta Yael, to events where professional athletes were present.

When she decided to become a real estate consultant, she naturally gravitated to helping the relocation needs of professional athletes and entertainers.

Some of her famous clients have been tennis champion Zina Garrison and NBA Hall of Famer Clyde Drexler.

Many of her clients have been former Houston Oilers, the team now known as the Tennessee Titans, and many other Houston Rockets players.

Described as a person of integrity and strong character, she is one who enjoys quality and beautiful surroundings. Her background and profolio are creatively presented using technology. Her presentations show some of the most gorgeous estates sold to her clients over 23 years.

Most of these beautiful homes are located in the Greater Houston area, now a budding region in the southwestern part of the United States.

Her portfolio is loaded with action shots of Walker with outstanding NFL and NBA players. The list of clients include Kenny Smith (NBA), Lamar Lathon (NFL), Antonio McDyess (NBA)  Marlon McCree (NFL), Steve McNair (NFL), Jamie Sharper (NFL), Aaron Brooks (NBA), Luis Scola (NBA), Glen Rice (NBA), Jimmy Jackson (NBA), Eric Piatkowski (NBA), Kevin Martin (NBA), Ishmael Smith (NBA), Tina Thompson (WNBA), Sheryl Swoopes (WNBA), Chester Taylor (NFL) and many others.

A detailed list of clients is included in her portfolio, which I viewed four times because it was so informative and creative.  The presentation that this Bleacher Report writer enjoyed shows some of the most elegant residences in the United States.

Although she is based in Houston, her work extends internationally. As a person who helps professional athletes with relocation services, she stays current with the ebbs and flows of the real estate industry. A charming and smart businesswoman, she helps professional athletes with their real estate needs.

When asked how she got started in the business with a focus on professional athletes, she said:

"My father worked for Braniff Airlines, and I worked for Continental Airlines for many years. This made me aware of the fact that relocation can be fun, yet frustrating. Professions in the athletic world have a high probability of relocation challenges. My aim is to use my expertise to help my clients whenever they need to make a move.

I actually got started by word of mouth when Warren Moon, a Hall of Famer, referred me to an upcoming athlete at the time named Andre Ware. Ware eventually became a Heisman Trophy winner. From there, it has grown tremendously."

Demetria's childhood affection will forever remain with the Oakland Raiders because by watching Warren Wells as a wide receiver, her love for sports was born..."and that's the truth!" she declared.
