It's the last day of February, and I'm finally sitting down to write my "love" post for the challenge - "Why We Love What We Do". It's been a busy month to be sure; even more so since I co-hosted the February challenge with Debe Maxwell, CRS and have been busy reading everyone's incredible submissions!
Writing my own post after reading the talented and creative entries from everyone else means trying extra hard to be original. But I'll push through and get this entry done by midnight!
I love my "job" for all the reasons most Realtors do—and surprisingly, looking at pretty houses doesn’t even make the Top 10 (even though that’s what most people think we do). If I’m being honest, the freedom and flexibility to set my own hours and choose how many clients I take on is at the top of my list. I’ve never been a morning person, and punching a clock has never been my style—but I’ll work as late as it takes to get the job done.
I love helping clients find the perfect home within their budget or guiding them through the downsizing process when the time is right. Whether you need to relocate or sell quickly, it’s incredibly rewarding to help buyers and sellers achieve their goals. And along the way, what starts as a professional relationship often turns into a lifelong friendship—a truly special part of this journey.
Providing answers to my clients' questions and guiding them with confidence makes me their trusted real estate professional—and that’s an incredible feeling.
Real estate is an emotional roller coaster, filled with highs and lows. The thrill of winning a multiple-offer bid for a client is exhilarating and deeply rewarding. But that excitement is balanced by the challenges—unqualified leads, long nights and weekends, and sales that may fall through at the last moment. Yet, through it all, the ability to help people navigate one of life’s biggest decisions makes it all worthwhile.
Do I love my job? You bet I do! After 37 years in the real estate business, I can't imagine doing anything else.
