There will always be buyers and sellers in the market who need assistance with real estate services.  People will continue to move cross country, change jobs, retire, divorce, marry, have families, etc.  These changes in lifestyle arrangements will require a residential ownership shift, which a real estate professional will have an opportunity to assist.  Put yourself in front of opportunites to meet people and be remembered for your smiling face, winning personality, and professionalism.  Hand out business cards and offer to be a source of information.  Connect with people and make friends, be social.  Build your market knowledge and professional skills.  Refuse to be a "secret agent" who nobody has ever heard of.  Connect with your community and strive to be compassionate person who will give without the expectation of return.  www.Realtywnc.com
