Before getting into real estate, I was running a company that did credit card processing. I enjoyed the job and it was close to where I lived. I turned the company around and got it rolling on rails, which I later learned wasn't a good thing for me, haha. The economy started to go downhill a bit and the owner figured that since his business was running well now, he didn't need me anymore. Of course, within a year or so, his company wasn't doing as well and was shut down. An acquaintance of mine that had been in real estate for around 6 years told me that she thought I would be good in real estate. I was hesitant, but at the same time, I was not finding another job that I knew I would love, so I signed up for the classes and got my license. Since I still hadn't found anything better to do and I was running out of money, I decided that I better make a go of it. Real estate has never been an easy road, but here I am and I have made ends meet each and every year since getting my license. It turns out that I am indeed really good at this real estate thing!!!

Thank you Lottie Kendall and I am sure that I am as well, but every once in awhile I get a tough client that makes me second guess myself, haha.

No career/job/business is great every moment, but real estate, when the right fit, is a great choice most of the time.

I agree with that Lottie Kendall and if I take a look at it overall compared to other careers that I have had, I definitely enjoy it the most.

I had no idea what you did before real estate so it was fun to learn more.

Having met you in person several times now I know why you are good at what you do!!

Hi Brian England,

It is always very interesting to find out what others have done before doing real estate. It is obvious that you found your calling and I am sure you have thanked that acquaintance for planting the seed that sent you in this direction.

Good morning James Dray and that is very true if I was not in real estate, I likely never would have known about ActiveRain and I would have never gotten to know you! I hope that we will get to meet in person someday!
