The Ups and Downs of a Real Estate Career
Yesterday I was down a bit: Challenges with a short sale and representing the most wonderful 87 year old man, finding out some awesome prospects of mine will no longer be relocating to Tucson, getting the news another closing got pushed out 6 more weeks....I was thinking of how emotional my career can be.
Simultaneously, I was texting with a new member of my office, who was getting a bit discouraged at how much effort was resulting in so little...and making the mistake of comparing himself to his classmates and peers.
I told him not to compare -- most of my classmates are no longer real estate agents!
I've enjoyed working with him and getting to know him these past two months or so, as there's nothing like the fresh excitement of a newbie to stir up your own passion and drive.
During our texting, I mentioned that it gets to me that bad news often seems to come in bunches, but I don't get BUNCHES of great news.
So is that perspective...or pouting....or real life.
At the end of the work day yesterday, I opened an email thinking it was another sales letter, only to find out some really big news regarding my career and my standing in Tucson Real Estate. I'd share it here, but I've been told it's confidential until the end of the month.
Wow - talk about a SHOT of Adrenalin.
So that's really real estate. We go up, we go down, we have challenges, we have disappointments...but we love our career path...or we quit.
I'm not a quitter, are you?
It's a new day.
