I Became a Realtor by Accident

I Became a Realtor by Accident

The New Year is a time for new beginnings.  It is a time to begin something new, something you have been thinking about.  I would like to have you think about pursuing a vocation that helps people through happy AND stressful times in their live. Obviously coming from me, I am talking about becoming a Realtor.

I became a Realtor by accident.  It was not what I went to school for.  It was not my passion.  It was time for me to re enter the work force after my 3 children were in school full time.  At that point I didn't know what I wanted to do that didn't require going back to school and that would provide enough money to help with the growing financial demands of our family.  Kelley rode horses- expensive. Ryan played tennis- expensive.  Devon just liked clothes- expensive. Then there were the bills that would be facing us in the future, drivers education, car insurance and college costs- expensive, expensive, expensive.

I taught at a private Kindergarten at the time, low pay but at least my children got free pre- school. I sold Tupperware to supplement that income.  From Tupperware I learned that I really liked people and can find things in common with anyone.  One of my Kindergarten parents mentioned that they thought I would be great at selling real estate.  I took the class, passed the test and- fast forward- 26 years later own McCaffrey Realty Professionals.  I have also helped hundred of individuals and families.  I do NOT sell houses. I help people solve their lifestyle problems.  Is the house too small?  Should I sell now?  My spouse died what should I do?  I lost my job. How can I keep my house?  I am getting divorced. Where can I go?  My basement is flooding.  Who do I call? This is what I do.

If this hits a chord for you I have a New Years offer.  I will be facilitating  3 seminars the first week in January.  The timing is to take advantage of the beginning of the next course (Principles and Practices) that will be starting locally on January 11^th.  This is the class you need before you sit for your licensing exam.  The seminars are to explore careers in real estate and will answer for you the following questions:

•·        How do I become a Realtor?  What is the process?

•·        How much does it cost?

•·        What skill sets do successful Realtors share?

•·        How much time will I need to devote to real estate?

•·        What does a day in the life of a Realtor look like?

•·        Can I do this part time?

•·        How much should I expect to earn?
