Job Description of a REALTOR®

By
Real Estate Agent with DFW FINE PROPERTIES 0506509

This is my entry for the 2024 September Blog 53 Word Challenge. Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543 and I are hosting this month. 

 

JOB DESCRIPTION OF A REALTOR®

 

Hiring a REALTOR® matters. It is a profession unlike any other.

The job is physically, emotionally, and financially demanding.

Continuous education, expertise, and technical skills required.

Real estate is a people’s business.

Communication, integrity, and honesty is the glue

That keeps the transaction together.

Without a sale, a REALTOR® does not get paid.

 

 

I learned about Press 53 Word Story at a class I took in July 2024 at Olli/UNT (University of North Texas). My first attempt for ActiveRain was writing Durable Agent in 53 Words  on August 10, 2024. It was then, I challenged others to give it a try and Nick was the only one who took up my challenge. I was happy to hear that  we could host the 2024 September Challenge and super excited to read three entries by day two. They were excellent! Here on ActiveRain we have many highy advanced members in the Real Estate Industry, lots of people new to the business or to blogging, and countless retirees. Even deceased member's blog posts will occasionally resurface and get featured! On ActiveRain your stories never die. 

 



Because we are a diverse group with similar backgrounds, networking and building relationships is very important. The camarderie (mutual trust and friendship among peers) is the energy boost we gain to keep us going whether we are busy or not. Keeping others engaged and being mindful of positive comments is necessary. You never know who is reading your blog post and comments.

 

Through our blogs, we find similaries, coincidences, and experiences that we can share as a healthy experience. Our occupation is unlike any other. Subsequently, we understand the nature of the business. Appreciation and a positive experience for each other is a golden opportunity that may be lacking in areas where you practice or have had experience in this field of work that doesn't pay, unless you complete a transaction. 


Writing 53 words to get my point across has been a challenge for me. I'm still learning. How about you? I hope you enjoy this challenge and will participate. Our stories, like us are all different.

Hello Patricia - similar yet different can describe so many things.  And that's certainly true when it comes to choosing the right representation for a buyer or seller.

People don't always know what a real estate agent does or how they get paid. It's not a professsion for the weak of heart. Every single day, I work. I had a conversation this past weekend with two ladies who are friends thinking about getting into the real estate business. They were very surprised to learn how different it is to be self-employed versus an employee. 

I was also cognizant that one or both of them were interviewing me to be a Buyer or Seller's Rep. 

 

Thank you. Your comments are always appreciated.

Good morning Patricia. So much is required of an agent to successfully roll the dice. No win, no pay! Well done! Enjoy your day.

Wayne Martin - Thank you!

Being a REALTOR is not as easy as it looks. Most people are surprised to learn, no sale, no pay. It is not easy if you're a solo agent and your only income is real estate sales. 

Your years of experience in the business has taught you a lot about the physical, emotional and financial stress on an agent when the market shifts and how important it is to have a well-trained agent.

Thank you, Patricia, for your well-crafted job description of a REALTOR®! It effectively highlights the unique challenges and rewards of our profession, and I appreciate the clarity and insight you've shared in just 53 words.

Lew Corcoran - I appreciate your knowledge and expertise. Many people don't know how a REALTOR gets paid, or how much time is involved. Every day an agent doesn't have a sale, they are unemployed.

Good morning, Patricia... I've long said that the beauty of our profession is that it can accommodate a plethora of personalities and backgrounds.

Nina Hollander, Broker - Over the course of time, I have met beautiful souls who were colleagues in my area. In the past 3 years, I received many referrals from CRS. Agents helping agents is a beautiful thing, especially if they are members of ActiveRain.

Patricia Feager, ABR,CRS,GRI,MRP hi Patricia... I maintained my CRS membership for many years because of the referrals I received. Over time, they just about disappeared so I stopped paying the dues. Maybe you're in an area with fewer CRS's than in Charlotte.

Spot on description Patricia Feager, ABR,CRS,GRI,MRP I enjoyed your ai creative efforts as well.  The agent with two hands and two pens one in each hand.  The Active Rain ghost members of the times past.  Always be learning...😎

I'm glad you made that comment!!! Also, so glad you got my humor about the ghost members still actively participating!!!

Fantastic job description, Patricia! I'm with you - we do so much that the vast MAJORITY of consumers have no earthy idea just how much we do. I saw you mention CRS in a comment above and have to ask you if you're planning to attend Sell-a-bration in March? I'm super excited to head to Nashville and I hope you are going as well. Someone wrote me yesterday that she has gone to 30 of them!! I'll never make it to even ½ that many but, every time I am at one, I learn a TON and get to meet wonderful agents such as you! 

Thank you for hosting this challenge! You and Nick are the perfect hosts. 😘

Debe Maxwell, CRS - When the first email went out about asking for speakers for the CRS Sell-a-bration in Nashville I tried to sign up and called but was told I had to wait and explained it was just for speakers at that time.

It has been a fun challenge. I'm so happy members are showing enthusiasm and writing 53 BEAUTIFUL Word stories with imagination and creativity! Their stories have been very uplifting!

Oh my gosh, that is wonderful! I hope you get your ticket and go in March, Patricia! I have not tried to sign up but, I'm in a group of CRS agents across the country (you met them in Dallas) and one of them reminded us this week to get our hotels booked as rooms are filling up quickly.
