Being a Real Estate Agent in Today's Market 
Have you ever thought about going ito real estate? Everyone seems to think it is an easy job, you can make lots of money, drive a glamerous car...it is a great job, don't get me wrong but the market can sometimes make a fun job not so fun.
I work in one of the greatest cities...Atlanta! I love it and that is somewhat surprising considering that when we moved here almost 4 years I go I did not want to move. Cried like a baby just at the thought of it. But this is a great place to be, lots to do, friendly, usually warm and you meet people from all over the world here. I think the fact that I am a transplant helps me be a better agent; I remember the things I was concerned about and wanted to know and this helps me anticipates things my cleints may also be concerned with.
I work primarily in Cobb county which is Marietta but also has the cities of Acworth, Kennesaw, Powder Springs and Austell. This is a great, growing area; good schools, great shopping and restaurants, a bit of a drive during rush hour to downtown but far enough out that there are lots of suburban areas and subdivisions.
Real estate is fun but it keeps you busy. I work almost 100 hours a week and between that and balancing a family with two dogs who think they are really two additional kids keeps you busy! But I love it and find it fascinating that I can learn something new everyday. I try to be passionate about my job and love helping people find the home where the can raise their family and make wonderful memories.
This is a tough market whether you are a buyer or seller but if you have a good agent in your corner, you can survive it. I hope to be that agent!
