This is why I became a REALTOR.

With all the talk about how bad the economy and Housing Market is, it would have been very easy for me to curl up in the fetal position feeling bad for myself waiting for something good to happen. While some REALTORS may have taken this approach, I have decided to WORK. Thats right, what a concept.

I had a productive week this week.

Did I sell a million dollar home? NO

Did I get 4 saleable listings? NO

Did I have 3 closings? NO

I had a productive week because I made a difference in 2 of my client's lives. I helped a single mother who would never of imagined that she would be able to OWN her very own home, find the house that she will most likely live in for the next 10-20 years. I helped another client find themselves an inexpensive vacation property that they can utilize to get away from the real world whenever the stresses of life get to them.

Real estate has become a competition between agents to make the most sales and the most money. And while making a living is obviously very important to me, I feel as though if you make a difference in people's lives then making a living will be easy.

I became a REALTOR to make a difference. Why did you become a REALTOR?
