Hey, I am a real estate agent and I help folks buy and sell the home of their dreams or hoped for dreams. I make a living doing this, but what's LOVE Got To Do With It?
Sometimes there are emotions involved when buying or selling a home. Emotions involving growing up, parents past, neighborhoods when you were young or a new place and a new job and a new family that is still yet to come. Marriages, divorces, loss of loved one, an emotional relocation. Emotions creating joy, laughter, tears and fears can run deep along side an important purchasing decision, usually the biggest purchase a person makes in their lifetime. I am involved and witness all of these things while doing my job.
But back to the original question,
What's LOVE Got To Do With It?
As Tina Turner sang, "What's LOVE Got To Do With It? It is only a second hand emotion!"
Is LOVE a second hand emotion?
Can one love their job?I guess so but at what expense? In my book love is for God and then next to family and possibly your country.
However, can one as a real estate agent "love' their relationships with people and clients going through the emotional experience of buying or selling their home, my job? Can one "love" their home, with family memories and pleasant surroundings?

Well, I guess I really don't know if I can love my job. Love does involve emotions, even if it is a "second hand emotion" as Tina Turner sang in her famous song.
But to have a job as a real estate agent, where you can be part of a person's journey or family and their huge family emotions involving the last stage or next stage of their life, I have to feel it is a privilege.
Maybe not LOVE, but a privilege.
