One of the hardest things about starting a "new" profession is ....getting over the hump!
There is no manual to read explaining how long that will be. How long it will be before you don't get sweaty palms before meeting a new client, get tongue tied trying to convert an inquiry to a potential Buyer or not have a clue as to how to handle the simplest of situations! Feeling like you"get it"....seems to take forever!
I finally have gone over that hump! I am finally comfortable in my Realtor Skin. Not to say that I'm an expert...Lord knows I'm not. But I'm sure on what I do know and not afraid to ask...what I don't. I'm comfortable with being myself and finding that my clients...like me that way. I show that I really do care...and they know it!
Sure I have a lot more to learn. I'm learning every day! That's what life is all about!
But there are such rewards...ones you never thought of causing happy faces, fulfilling dreams, helping create a future. These are but a few!
I had a phone call today...from a past client. He called to see how I was! ...I repeat....he called to see how I was! I have a new friend!
I love this job! This job is right "up my ally"
