The Long and Winding Road Of Real Estate

The Long and Winding Road Of Real Estate

Realtors® work with people from all walks of life and backgrounds and no two real estate transactions are quite alike.
  The other day as we started to work with a new client I was reminded again how the world of real estate offers the opportunity for a Realtor® to learn about new areas, new rules and regulations, changes in codes, you name it, our line of work is not static. 

With each new client, I embrace the fact that we are on a road to a different place, a new learning experience, different from any prior experience of helping a client to buy or sell real estate.   One client may lead us down a road where we gain new insights into new construction; another may take us down a road that offers us insights into their culture for they are relocating here from a foreign country.

The one thing that is for sure, is that the long and winding road of real estate always leads back to helping and finding the situation that is best for our clients in the best way we know how.

Hi Doug & Gloria,

That bit of insight is so very very true. I am constantly hearing the voice of my trainer years ago saying to me: "Nothing you do in real estate is ever wasted. " Bumpy road too I may add. :)

Have a great day.

Oh so true!  Each client give us the opportunity to learn something new or to refine skills that we already possess!

School is never out for the Successful.

The vagaries of this job are going to keep us young. Change is a constant!

There is never a dull moment in this profession. After 24+ years it's still a learning curve.

Doug and Gloria.....A very interesting analogy about real estate being a long and winding road - and oh so true.
