I Love My Profession Because...

 Mike Mueller, challenges us in his post "What Do You Love About Your Job"?

I love my profession as a REALTOR® because of the freedom I have.  I am free to work as little or as much as I want.  I am free to work with buyers and sellers...if I want.  I can work from home, from my car, from out of town, from virtually anywhere and that is important to me.  I have found that REALTORS® are the most generous group of people I know, and I enjoy being a part of a group like that.  If I need to run home or to school to pick up my 3 year old because he is sick...I can rush out of the office with no problems, because being a REALTOR® gives me flexibility.  Even if I am with clients, they are usually very understanding about my motherly duties.   I love the support that I receive from other REALTORS®, and the ideas and suggestions that they offer. 

Before I became a REALTOR®, I was a veterinary technician by education.  While I loved my job, it was very stressful and heart wrenching.  Real Estate is fun and stress free (Except for the occasional disastrous closing, that almost always turns out okay in the end). 

 

The Beautiful Crystal Coast, Where I enjoy working!!!

I love my job, too. . .but I sure wish I had a view like that!  Beautiful photo, you should post it on Localism if you haven't already.

I love this unique career its the only career in which when I have downtime I can play golf to hopefully one day become a pro (God Willing)!

Amy, LOVE the picture!!!  I'm glad you mentioned "fun" being part of the profession, if you're not having fun then what's the point of doing anything?! Great post

Amy,

An excellent post!  Thanks for reminding us of all of the wonderful things about WHY we work in this business (which we sometimes lose track of in the midst of our local markets).  Love the picture, too!

I loved my job as a Realtor, but I love my job as a Broker/Owner even more!  I have an office of 75 agents and I get such pleasure out of watching people succeed in this business, especially those who come into the business after being "beaten up" in their former jobs.  Helping others succeed, in may cases, is better than succeeding yourself!

Amy, I love my job also and I am a realtor in Morehead City at the Coldwell Banker. I have been a realtor for about 1 and a half years. I, like yourself not only love my job but also take it very seriously. I put 110% into every transaction.  I have been noticing your name and what a good job you are doing to help make realtors a profession that people respect. Keep up the good work.

Vickie
