No, there has never been a time where I wanted to give up being a real estate agent. I enjoy helping people find their dream home and watching them get settled in. It's always rewarding to see the look on their face when they finally find the perfect place.

There are definitely times when I've considered quitting real estate. It's a tough job, and there are definitely days when I feel like I'm not making any progress. I haven't quit only because I haven't been able to find something else that would suit me.

There have been plenty of times where I wanted to give up being a real estate agent, but thankfully I never actually did. I think anyone who wants to be a real estate agent needs to be prepared for a lot of hard work and long hours, but it's definitely worth it in the end.

Yes but i think it's natural to sometimes doubt your choices, sometimes you just gotta power through it and be willing to see things through

Those first couple of years were pretty rough for me but thankfully I had a strong support system through my friends and family who helped me stay focused and energized
