Four years ago, shortly after I had decided to be a real estate agent, I ran into my neighbor that lived directly across the street from me. She had recently decided to sell her home - For Sale By Owner. As any good Realtor would do, I attempted to lure her into listing her home with me. My neighbor's response was that she didn't want to pay a big commission just for some agent to write a few page contract. In her mind, that is all it takes (writing an offer) to be successful and earn a commission. You and I both know that selling real estate is much more than just writing an offer. As agents we work very hard to solicit clients, find the right house, keep abreast of the market, and keep the deal from falling apart. This past year has tested our resolve. And yet we continue to trudge forward with a smile on our face. Because, we know the rewards of our chosen profession far exceed the headaches. In fact, if you ask most agents what they love about their job/career they will say "I love helping people". And as Zig Ziglar says "You can have everything in life you want if you just help enough other people get what they want.”
A friend of mine sent me this youtube video this morning. Take a few moments to watch these lovely ladies sing about life as a Realtor. I am sure you can relate to at least one (if not two or three) of their experiences. Its fun to be able to laugh at ourselves. Merry Christmas.
BE SURE TO TURN OFF THE MUSIC (SCROLL TO THE PLAYLIST ON THE RIGHT OF THIS PAGE) BEFORE WATCHING VIDEO
