You CANT do it and YOU WONT :( the bet is on!

Real Estate Agent with Sea Glass Properties

So I was talking to my dad this past weekend about how my business is growing and I feel like I am almost there. (side note: my dad is a builder in Washington state and step-mom is a REALTOR). 

Anyway, he kept telling me I need to get a full-time job and realize that it will take me 5-7 years to get on my feet and that I can't do this full time right now. 

I told him that I know I can do this: I mentioned how we have one agent who did $2 million in sales in one month this year. He told me there is absolutely NO WAY that I will be able to do that next year.  

I was a little offended, I mean after graduating school in 3 years, already working towards my broker's license, teaching, and still have had 3 closings in 6 months, I felt like he had little faith. 

So, I bet him that I would be able to do $2 million in sales (that is 10 $200,000 sales in the next 12 months) 

Motivation?? Absolutely, oh the shear joy in proving people wrong is the best feeling in the world. I am not in this business for the money, I am here because I love it. But, if I need to set a dollar mark to show someone what I capable of then so be it!

Have a great week!

I like you attitude.  Unless you believe you can do than you can't.  Those prices are much lower than we see.  Idaho sounds like a great value for real estate.
