One Of The Most Gratifying Experiences I Have Had Came After A Humbling One

Category: Finance, Real Estate.

I have recently completed my first year in real estate, and have had some enjoyable experiences and also some forgettable experiences. Fortunately I have made it and am on my way to a successful career.

I have heard that 70 percent of all real estate agents are out of the business within one year. I would like to share you a couple experiences as a full time real estate agent. When you start getting pranked by your fellow co- workers you know that you have been accepted. I serve clients in Holland, Zealand and neighboring West Michigan cities, but no matter where you are located you are going to have some interesting stories. I went through a very hard transaction early on in my career and was worried that I had would do something incorrectly. On the note it said, "I need to talk to you about your last closing, what were you thinking? " Since I was new in the business and had already worried about doing something wrong I got very nervous. I closed the deal on a Friday afternoon and on Monday I had a note from my boss.

I ended up meeting with him in the hall later that day, and fearfully asked him about the note. I eventually found out who did it, and am still working on a plan to get him back. This time it was a good feeling when I heard laughter, because he had not written the note after all. I now hang the note up on my wall as an example that I am accepted. I spent a lot of time last summer going door to door in neighborhoods letting people know what I am doing, and also asking if they are considering making a move in the near future. One of the most gratifying experiences I have had came after a humbling one.

I picked a neighborhood near my home and started canvassing. To my surprise the lady started laughing at me! A few houses after I had started I knocked on the door and explained what I was doing. I don t know if I was dressed funny or what, but it did not make me feel good. Even though what just happened hurt my ego, I was able to say" next" . Well in this real estate business you need to remember the word" next" another phrase I say is" What lies before us, and what lies behind us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. " This is a quote from someone famous and it has really helped me. Well a couple of houses later I was able to generate a good lead, and a couple weeks later I ended up listing their home.

Now I didn t go back to the lady who laughed at me, but it was very gratifying knowing that my perseverance provided me with a lot of money. Not only did I eventually sell their home, but I also received a lead from the sign and sold those people a home. It has been a challenging year as a real estate agent, but also very fulfilling. I wanted to share with you a couple of my experiences as a real estate agent, and to encourage you that good things can happen out of bad experiences. I have been able to serve the needs of many clients in the area, and am looking forward to another great year.
