Why I Do What I Do....I'm a Realtor.

By
Real Estate Agent with Midwest Properties of MI - Grand Rapids

I came into Real Estate in almost an instinctive kind of way, finding myself at a crossroads in life in feeling the Management Position I held no longer provided value nor substance to either the people I was working with nor even to myself.  People who came to me for help during those days really didn't want to be there (which was apparent at the very onset of most jobs) and the atmosphere was typically one of lurking negativity.

...And in stepping back suddenly one day, thinking over where I was currently at in my life...just the basics...was I happy, was I content?.... I found my answer to be a resounding NO.

Now in having both an awareness and a longing to find a profession that could not only bring tangible fulfillment into my life but also be able to provide true value and helpfulness to others, I found Real Estate to be the only thing I could actually envision myself both doing and enjoying...everything now seemed so clear!

Today, when I look back to where I once was and to where I now am, I find myself to be humbly grateful for I would never trade a thing and would never turn back.  What I have found is a definite fulfillment here in this place, for the smiles on the faces of my clients and the personal friendships which I have made along the way hold such value to me and would be most impossible to replace.
