Why I Love What I Do!

Why I Love What I Do! 

I have been a Real Estate Broker since 2006. In May of 2005 I sold a house & bought a house. The process intriqued me, so I took my equity money and went to a Real Estate School obtaining my license within 6 weeks. I went to a local REMAX office & asked for them to sponsor my license. I sold 12 houses my first 5 months and never looked back. 

This is me getting my first Real Estate Commission! 

Alot has changed in the past 20 years in Real Estate. We don't receive paper checks anymore and I don't get the sign calls or office calls that we received in the early 2000's but I still LOVE what I do! 

  • I love that I can volunteer at my church during the day to make flowers !
  • I love the freedom this career gives me to work how I want to work and not how someone tells me how to work. 
  • I love the people I have met over the years in the industry who I never would have known in my past career, which was sitting behind a desk! 
  • I love the process of helping people with the biggest investment of their lives.
  • I love the fact that my income potential is up to me, the harder I work the more I make! 
  • I love that I can avoid traffic. Traffic is no joke in DFW and I am thankful I can schedule my showings and meetings around the traffic. 
  • I love that I can spend time with my grandkids and family at unconventional times , not just evenings and weekends.

That is alot of loves and I have many more. Real Estate is so rewarding and I wish I had started earlier in my life to be honest ! I will be working as long as the phone keeps ringing and loving Real Estate until I can't anymore!!

This might be my favorite entry so far in the February Challenge ❤️. Your reasons for loving real estate are my reasons, too! The freedom and flexibility of setting our hours to avoid (whatever we need to avoid) is important to me, whether it's avoiding rush hour (which I am always mindful when scheduling appointments) or working around other commitments. Your first year success is to be commended, and I love the walk down memory lane; sign calls or walk-ins are rare these days.

Thank you so much for participating in the challenge, and wishing you continued success. :)

Good morning Tracy. Real estate sales offers flexibility. That said, proper time management is a necessary trait to be successful. You have sought flexibility and adequate it successful through time management skills. Like your approach. Enjoy your day.
