Are you a gambler?

Are you a gambler?

Gambling, n. the practice of wagering or playing for stakes.

What does that really mean? Does it always mean you are betting in the hopes that you will win more than your wager? Does it mean you may lose money? Does it relate to Real Estate?

I write this as my family sit's in front of the TV watching the Kentucky Derby. I on the other hand am reading and writing on AR.

As Real Estate agents, we're gamblers.  We play for the stakes.  The stakes are, we have a customer and we hope to win them over.  We hope to win the "stakes" or the remuneration (the pay in return for service, time spent, etc.) at the close of a deal.  We hope the hour's we spend looking for properties (for buyers) and customer's (for sellers) pay off in the end.  It is a gamble. It's a hope to seal a deal.  It's not typically known as a gamble or gambling in Real Estate, however, it is.  It's a risk. Gambling is a risk, most of the time for the hope of monetary return, just like a Real Estate deal.

Do you consider selling Real Estate a gamble?
