I always knew that an office job was not for me, but when I learned about the functions of a realtor I was fascinated because besides making money I can help families to get their ideal home.

I knew real estate was for me because it is a stable and secure investment. I love the idea of being able to help people find their dream home, and I love the challenge of finding the perfect property for my clients. Real estate is always changing and evolving, so it's never a dull day in this industry!

I didn't know real estate was for me. I just fell into it and I consider myself lucky given how successful I've become in the span of five years.

I've always been interested in real estate. I grew up around it and I love the idea of being able to help people find their dream home. I knew that real estate was for me when I decided that I wanted to make it my career.

My dislike for realtors has never been stronger. While purchasing a property a few months ago we found somewhere that had dropped their price so I wanted to go in a little under or at ask. It’s not that he wouldn’t allow it but wanted us to go in at the original list price and I later found out he knew the listing agent. The industry as a whole needs a shake up in my opinion.

I really feel like I’ve been dealt a really bad hand in my life. It feels like no one gives me a chance. Whether it’s a job I know I’m qualified for, or someone I’m interested in.

But I still can’t help but think that for a person in my position, given the opportunities that I was given, I am just a complete failure and nowhere near what I could be.
