Commission

Does anyone out there get a lot of heat from friends and family members about your job? I always seem to get the same thing...Do you work Monday-Friday? Answer is no, I don't it's a 7 day out of the week job! The other is how much do you get paid an hour...I don't get paid by the hour, it's commission only!

I guess what I'm trying to say is that not everyone will understand our profession. I love doing what I do. We are kinda like a doctor, doctors just dont stop being a doctor, they are doctors 24/7! And we are Realtors 24/7. Some of my friends think I'm crazy because all I think about is Real Estate, but at the same time it's everywhere we go, we can't escape it! I would consider us risk takers. Look at everyone that owns there business they are risk takers as well. Most very successful people take a risks and are there own boss. I'm sorry but I don't want to go back to the same boring 9-5 job. No excitment in that!

It's funny because I'm in the business but at the same time I don't own a home yet! I know, I know I need to buy but paying off my bills will come first!
