Rise Up REALTORS®, and Stand Proud.

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Enterprises Inc.

 I love my job, and I'm good at it .....but next to the used car salespeople and the ambulance chasing lawyers, REALTORS® have been given a pretty bad reputation. The bias reputation needs to be changed! Help me change it!

My feeling is that we bring emotional stability to a market operated by emotional fear and bad judgement. We bring reassurance, we bring professionalism, and we bring rational thinking. We educate our clients so they can make tough decisions as they embark on what is typically the largest investment of their lives. We put our time, effort, and dollars up front; we sometimes act as our client's therapist, psychologists, and often marriage counsellors but, in the end we make people very happy...they cry when they say 'thank you', their kids have smiles on their faces...everyone wins. And if we’re lucky enough, some of those clients become friends. That's why people need REALTORS®, that's why I love my job.

Amen. I never realized realtors had a used care reputation, although I guess I can think of a few that sort of run that used car kind of advertising. Agents should be proud. They help people and make a positive difference for so many.
