I Love Selling Homes in Hubert North Carolina

When I graduated from college with a degree in psychology I did not have a clue what I wanted to do. I thought perhaps I should go to graduate school but I was burned out on school so I ruled that out almost as quickly as the thought came to mind. A friend and I decided it would be fun to live in Charleston, S C. Why not? That sounded like a good idea.

So we packed up and off we went on our adventure. But I did not find a dream job. Instead I took a job as a receptionist. The hours and benefits were good and I had lots of free time to enjoy Charleston and all it had to offer. It was a time for growing up.

Circumstances changed in a couple of years and I made a move to Tennessee where I worked as an executive job placement agent. The pay and benefits were excellent but I still was not content and knew that the job was not right for me. I felt restless.

Another move brought me back to my home state of North Carolina where I worked as a mortgage loan processor for awhile. The job brought me no joy and I was very discontent and unhappy but reluctant to make another change.

While pregnant with my daughter, at the suggestion of my Mom, I began real estate classes and soon had my license. I guess she knew what I should have known "that real estate was in my blood". I grew up in a family owned and operated construction/development business.

I soon learned that once again Mom was right--from the very beginning of my real estate career I felt like I was where I belonged and doing what I was meant to do. It was a "fit".

So what do I love about my job, my profession, my avocation? It would take less time and space to tell you what I don't like. But you asked for it:

• Buyers - I love that I can help my Buyers with perhaps the most important and expensive decision and purchase of their life. I love that they trust me, depend and rely on me and my expertise. I love the looks and words of appreciation and satisfaction when the deal closes and they are the proud owners of their dream home.

• Sellers - I love that my Sellers trust me to price, market and sell their beloved home. I love walking through their home and yard with them and hearing the stories about their time and adventures there. I love the hugs of appreciation when the sale closes. I love that I helped my fellowman.

• Builders - I love working with them... choosing plans and building lots and planning a house or project. I love that they trust and respect my opinion and ideas.

• Mortgage loan officers - Having worked in the mortgage business, I understand what they need and expect from my clients and me. I love to be a step ahead of them and get them what they need before they ask for it. I love their surprise and appreciation.

• New houses - I love the construction process.... watching the house come out of the ground, the walls go up, the roof go on, the mechanicals go in and the process of finishing with drywall, paint, trim, cabinets, etc.

• Homes for Sale - I love showing houses to an excited family and hearing them talk about where they will place their furniture, what room each child will have and where they will put their Christmas tree. I love their enthusiasm.

• Education - I love learning how to improve my business, better serve my clients and the real estate industry.

• Flexibility - As a divorced Mother, the flexibility is very important to me. I love that I do not have to punch a time clock and that I can plan my work around my family and its needs.

• Independence - I love the freedom to make decisions, create my own marketing plan, make my own appointments and just take care of business in my own way.
  

• Fellow agents - I love working with fellow agents and being a team player. I love the respect, trust, professionalism and shared goal of taking care of our clients.

• Feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction - I love that my job gives me joy, fulfillment and a sense of worth.

• Opportunities - I love the opportunities that my job in real estate presents to meet new people, make new friends, work with other professionals and participate in community activities.

• Active Rain - I love that I stumbled upon this real estate site, that I have met so many wonderful people and shared in their successes and disappointments. I love that members are willing to share their time, knowledge, support and expertise.

What other profession offers all this? I cannot imagine myself in another job. After all, real estate is in my blood!
