What a Great Reward

By
Real Estate Agent with Rancon Real Estate

I just picked up the largest check of my entire career! Exciting? Absolutely---more than absolutely! I was estatic but all in all once I bragged just a little and then deposited my check, I realized that what was and will be memorable about this deal will be the people involved----even more than the money!

Making a living is why I am in Real Estate-make no mistake about that. But sometimes I get so wrapped up in the process---crazy clients, fun clients, easy clients ---I have to admit Real Estate is nearly like a "calling". It can encompass every part of your day and best of all, you enjoy it. I love loading up the laptop and printer and heading off to an open house! I absolutely hate, hate, hate trying to pound Open House signs into ground that is like cement---how can it grow grass and still be that hard? I'm 6' tall (get over it!) and I own my own sledge hammer and I sometimes skip entire corners---am I terrible? Anyway don't tell clients that Open Houses are fun for me---I like to pretend I am much to cool for that!

What keeps you to Real Estate? Is it the process, people, paycheck, the retirement packages? It can't be the great hours or the swell medical insurance---What floats your boat?

For me it's definately working with people. This may sound crazy, but I think that I like the challenge of being on commission! It possesses me to work harder day-in and day-out. I also like that the times change and we're forced to change with the times as well. I'm going to expand my service base by taking my Series 7 securities license soon. So I'm always learning.

Congrats on the big check!! Hope you take part of that to do something fun for yourself!

Hmm. What I love about real estate...the people, working with them and seeing their happiness at the end of a transaction. Also the houses: never knowing what to expect behind each door, and the wonderful homes I have the privilege of viewing! And as a type-A personality, the competitive drive to do better, do more, and achieve my goals; all the while knowing I built this myself!

Congratulations on the Biggest Sale so far!  I had mine last month and it was a thrill!  It gave me a sense of validation for ALL the hard work, sleepness nights, and stress during the decline of the boom. With the renewed energy I was able to get out there and sell another one right after. It is a combination of allof it. The hunt, the capture (of the listing) the offer (they picked mine!) and the close (reward) the look onthe sellers faces, the look on the buyers faces, and the great feeling of negotiating a good deal.
