Why do I do what I do?

By
Real Estate Agent with Re/Max Realty Group

A common question, or a common theme in today's market when I run into people I know, or for that matter, people I meet, is, "How is the market?", "How do you like the business?"

My answer, almost every time, "I love it!"  Everything about what I do, I love.  I love the fact that I control my own destiny.  I create my own schedule.  I am able to be where I want to be, when I want to be.

The next question, almost every time, "What got you into the business?"  My answer; I was in the process of purchasing my current home back in 2002.  This was my third purchase in 3 years, and every purchase was different.  My first was a owner occupied duplex, the second was a single family home in Arizona, and the last was a single family home for my move back to New Hampshire.  My last purchase was undoubtedly the toughest of all of the purchases.  I had hired an agent that I had know for a long time, told him the situation, and told him what my wife and I were looking for.  He found us our home, that we were looking for.  He gave us the best possible service that he could at the time, and for that, I referred business back to him.  I think I kept him busy in 2002!

Why do I do what I do?  Because I want to offer that same great service that my wife and I received in 2002.  I want to be treated like I was the only client of the agent at that time.  I want to answer any questions that my clients might have to the best of my ability.

What are the other reasons I do what I do?  For my family.  I want to provide the best opportunities in life for those that I love.  I want to give my kids the best education they can get, vacations, and lots of fun filled family time.  I think that working hard at what I do, and doing the best at what I do, will give my family those opportunities.

Why do you do what you do?

You have to remain positive in this market. It is what "you" make it.
