Prompt #1

I have always had an interest in Real Estate. I always thought it was all glamorous and easy. We moved to Newton just about 5 or 6 years ago. We had a great real estate agent and she showed us many great properties. Through being a part of this process and watching it all unfold I got an idea of what I thought the industry was like. I loved it. I thought all you did was drive around and show nice people nice houses. I also thought that was the extent of the industry. When I began with Susanne I quickly found out that the real estate industry was hardly all glamour and gold. Although there are very luxurious and glamorous parts to the industry, there is also a ton of hard work that goes into it. There is an enormous amount of paper work one has to go though and there is a lot of traveling that has to be done. Another thing that I did not know of was the uniqueness in a real estate agents hours. The job isn't a 9-5 one no, it’s a all day everyday job. This has its ups and downs. Its good in the way that your always being involved and always have something interesting on your plate but its not so good for the reason that you don’t really have set ‘down’ time. I guess you just have to be really passionate about real estate to be a good, successful agent.
