Judy Carr Could Only Help So Many People-I Got My Real Estate License

by Michelle Carr Crowe

I've often shared that I feel like I got my license when I was 9 years old-because that's Just Call when my mother, super-agent Judy Carr got her real estate license.

Because the truth is, when you're raised in a real estate family, real estate IS the family business. 

However, I also saw all of the stress, fear and drama of selling real estate. I was happy to assist, but I just didn't want all of that responsibility for other people's happiness. I feared making mistakes, making my mother look bad, or just hurting someone, even unintentionally.

Finally, my mother Judy Carr explained to me, "I can only physically help so many people. I'd rather refer them to you because I trust you to do the right thing, to put the client's interest first, and I'll help you. But if you don't help these people, they could easily end up with a bad agents who only cares about a commission."

Ouch! Once I realized that I was actually preventing people from suffering some truly bad experiences, I finally got licensed!

This is an entry for "What event in your life/the world led you to where you are today?

Judy your mother was spot on...too many agents focus on the commission and miss out. If you help people they get it and appreciate it and give you not just one commission but many because they refer others to you...thank you for your post to this challenge, Endre

Good morning, Michelle....when your mother is a real estate agent, real estate is part of your genetic footprint.... my daughter, Tammy, will attest to that and she is in the business now....

Michelle, That is a great example to follow!  I am not sure what drew me into Real Estate.  I will have to think on it and see if I can figure it out!  Who knows, I may end up writing a blog about it!
