Get Rich Quick in Real Estate!!

Show 3 houses,.. 1.5 hours,.. go over a contract,.. 1 hour,... attend the Inspection,.. 2 hours,.. go to closing,.. 45 minutes,.. get a big check!!

5 hours, 15 minutes,.. $10,000 commission,... or $5,000 That's nearly $1000 an hour!!!

All of us are aware of the Real Estate Agent Boom that we have experienced,... Agents seem to be a dime a dozen,... the boom,.. is in no small way due to the great agents that do their job well.

As agents, our goal is to keep stress away from our clients, to provide them with a fun experience. We minimize what we do because we don't want them stressed out. The hours of time spent in contract and negotiations behind the scenes, the hours spent with lenders and working as the go between, the hours and the thousands of dollars spent in maintaining marketing that is not only top notch but is bleeding edge,.. along with the deals that we spend as much time on and sometimes more that never make it to the closing table.

For a time,.. Real Estate was very very lucerative,.. rewarding mediocre agents for mediocre work,...

Those times have past,.. The agents that will survive will be those same agents with the service mindset,.. that ackowledge that especially during this time,... professionalism and service is key.

Yes,.. we are paid well for what we do,.. and sometimes that means we need to give the benefits of our experience away,.. to start seeing ourselves as public servants helping everyone we can,.. however we can,.. regardless of the paycheck at the end,...

Because Real Estate is not only our living,.. it's our life.
