What do you Love about your job?

We all see the negativity out there in the media and even here on ActiveRain. Subprime Collapse, Liquidity Crunch, Housing Numbers, Bail Outs, Write Offs, Closures, yadda, yadda, yadda...

You get the idea.

Last weekend I was on a two hour pre-dawn bus ride. My daughter's H. S. Marching Band was competing in the Santa Cruz Band Review - they finished 4th! It gave me a chance to catch up on my reading. Nothing high brow. In fact, I read 3 of my 6 monthly motorcycle subscriptions.

In one of them was a two page article. The writer was doing a stream of consciousness piece. "I love Motorcycles because..." The entire two pages were filled with the exception of a picture in the middle.

If you are addicted to blogging you tend to see future blog posts everywhere. I read every word. I smiled, I nodded, I laughed. All the while the thought was in my head, this would be a great blog post. That happens to you too doesn't it?

Yes times are tough, yes there are closures, yes business is off.

But in posts like these, it's very clear that many people here love their profession.

I LOVE THE FACT I SET MY OWN SCHEDULE!!!

I love the challenge of what we do, I love the fact we are directly involved in helping people realize the American Dream of buying a home. And, as Ryan pointed out, setting my own schedule is pretty cool as well.

Ryan - And that's the only thing you love about your job? I want to hear all the reasons. Stream it!

Jason - I now you are working a list right now.

oh Mike, I love my profession because of the people I meet. I'm talking about top notch people such as you! And when these hard times are behind me I'll love it for other reasons too =)

Setting my own schedule is pretty neat though....... =)

Don't even ask me this right now!! I'm on my way out to open a listing for a pop tart realtor that doesn't live in the area or have access to a key box. Grrrr. Oh,yes, there will be a blog about it later. Anger.

Mike,

I love the freedom to make my own Schedule, and I like helping people. I also like the fact that Everyday I learn something New, Like How to make a Pink Butt Moon Me on my Post :0)

Assignment done. (MWA!)

I~am~working~on~it~keep~getting~interrupted!

It's in draft mode now because I am having bloggus interruptus. Work related so it is good!

Mike,

I like the fact knowing that I am helping people build their dreams by getting into a house. Even though this market is off, there are a lot of people trying to get their dreams.

Mike - Here's mine Is Real Estate your dream job? it's an oldie but a goodie. There is nothing I like more than seeing an old, outdated, downright ugly house reach its full potential. It is concrete, I can see the transformation and think to myself; I turned that ugly duckling into this swan.

Mike, I love the positive feedback from all the people who benefit when the loan funds and the deed records.

The buyer, the buyer's family, and the buyer's in-laws (there's a post there)
The seller
The listing agent
The listing broker
The selling agent
The selling broker
The appraiser (gets paid anyway. I'd like that job in my next life.)
The home inspector
The title officer and the escrow officer (one and the same in AZ)
and the loan officer!

Mike-What great encouragement to get us all thinking outside the box even more. Thank you for the inspiration you are giving us all. I'm excited to get mine going.

I tell ya, I love my job because I get to help. I am not an agent or broker but specialize in RE support services and my personality is one that really thrives on helping others. I have been that way since I was a child. It is not a 'people-pleasing' type trait but one that truly enjoys watching other people become successful while experiencing success myself. It is a win-win situation. In the RE business, I come across all different types of people.........people with dreams, successful people who appreciate their success, successful people who take it for granted, those down on their luck, those with the luck of the Irish, those who are positive minded people, those who are negative-minded people, those who have no mind whatsoever :) but the bottom line is that it takes all kinds of interaction to make a job interesting and exciting and this business definitely brings the term 'melting pot' to life! Thanks for the post!

Here you go tiger!

It's all done.

Thank You Mike

I posted my "Why I love my profession" post last night :)

I just had to post something I learned last night in a workshop:

"Even though up until now, my chosen career has been a challenge*, I completely love and accept myself"

and that's all I have to say about that, Mike, thanks for asking!

*challenge is good...
