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

Anyone else just sitting around waiting for the ax to drop? I'm a soon to be 2nd year corporate associate who has seen work completely dry up. My utilization held pretty steady around 50% immediately after shutdown, but August was below 15 billables with no appreciable work in the pipeline. Aside from letting people know I'm available and doing pro-bono/CLE, it's starting to feel like a serious "covidcation" leading to termination.
