The satisfaction of being able to help a family to achieve their dream home!!

I love meeting new people, and in this job you can certainly meet a lot of people and help them. Paying attention to all the details, why do they sell? why do they buy? A different person who tells you their motivations, their illusions. This allows you to have many contacts.

I am a very restless person so I don't like to sit in a chair, and this job is perfect for me because I have to move around, go out, see properties, go to the notary, go prospecting, take the car and visit a different area every day. I definitely could not stand to be in the office all day.

I got into real estate because I was looking for a stable, long-term career that wasn't the same day on repeat until Fridays. I did a lot of research on different careers, and real estate kept coming up as a solid option with a lot of potential.

Stable? Lol

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?
