It's been a while since I have blogged. A lot has happened in the past few weeks. I went to this amazing class in Plano in the middle of January. If there was one Aha that I got was that most new realtors do not make it in this type of market past two years. If you weren't already an established realtor before it became a buyer's market, then you might not make it. I will say that I had a great first year. I did very well, but sometimes life throws you some challenges and you must re-work your goals.
I have joined The Green Team in my office. It has really taken a lot of pressure off my shoulders. I am able to focus on buyers. I am able to put all my energy into giving great customer service to assisting my clients with finding a great home at a great price.
I must admit...I really was apprehensive in joining a team. So many things ran through my head. Will I loose my identity? What will it be like working for someone after I have only been working for myself? What if I don't pull my weight? What about my schedule...will it be in someone else's hands? Will I be micro-managed?
I know...you are thinking, STOP thinking so much April.
You know what...sometimes you have to just trust your gut and make a change. You have to have faith and believe that things work the way they do for a reason.
I can honestly tell you that I made the best decision for me and my family at this time. Eventhough you might know someone one way, you don't know how it will be working WITH them, not for them. That was one lesson I learned pretty quickly.
A "TEAM" is just that, a team. It is great to be able to feed off the incredible energy that is in the office everyday. There are no egos, there are no anything. There is just professionals working together to make clients satisfied and happy with our services.
It is great to be able to come to the table with your own ideas. Some days they might be liked, and others they may not be...but at the end of the day, I wasn't shot down. I am able to rely on other realtors expertise in all aspects of real estate and also contribute when they need help.
Honestly, the whole team thing isn't just because I joined a team. It is like that in my office period. Everyone always helps everyone. I think it is the culture that we have. We are very much like a family. We are joyful when our fellow realtors acheive and we feel sorrow when our realtors have a tough time.
