There it is I said it, I am addicted. My drug of choice is Real Estate.
I am hooked on it and love it. I love working to get my listings the most possible exposure. I love looking for new listings and catching new buyers from my advertising. I love helping the buyer find just what they are looking for. I love the fact that I am paid for performance. If I accomplish the goal of helping the client buy or sell I am paid well. If I fail, I fail to get paid. This gives me the drive to always try to do better.
It seems that my addiction is passing on to my children. The love to watch the HGTV shows about fixing up homes and selling homes. I can see the drive in them to be the best they can possibly be in whatever they are doing. That drive will serve them well as they go through life. I do not think the will chose real estate as a career but I can see that they will be interested in it. I have no problem with my addiction passing on to them
A great thing about my addiction is that my wife does not have a problem with it. Everyone at my church knows I am hooked on it. Everyone I work with and all my friends know I am hooked on it and my clients can tell I am hooked on it. Even my doctor knows I am hooked on it. She does not seem to be concerned about it affecting my health.
Many addictions dull the brain, mine does not. The ever changing real estate market and the constant supply of new people keep mine sharp.
I see no hope of breaking this additiction and I expect I will have it the rest of my life.
I love to here from others who have the same addiction as me. It seems that ActiveRain is a great support group for those of us who suffer from this addiction.
