1095.
No, not just some random number. It is, in fact, the number of days in 3 years. And while three years sounds like a long time, it actually goes by pretty darn fast!
Last week, I celebrated my 3 year anniversary of becoming a Realtor. When I look back, there were some days that were amazing and flew by, and I certainly had some long days where things weren’t going well, and wondered if the ball would actually start to roll.
The hard fact is that over half of all real estate agents don’t make it past the first year!
But here I am, 156 weeks later, still rolling. So once again, I’m grateful.
I feel privileged to get to serve those who begin as strangers and often turn into good friends during an emotional and stressful but also super exciting and fun time in their life. I’m thankful to those who have asked me to be the trusted expert in buying or selling their homes. It is a great experience to celebrate a successful sale, or hand over the keys to that new home and new chapter of life.
Sometimes, it doesn’t always work out. The house doesn’t sell, or we can’t find the right home to buy…I’m blessed to have learned from those experiences as well, as frustrating and disappointing as it may have been at the time.
I don’t take this journey alone – it takes the support of many to make it all happen.
So, a big shout out to my wife, who encourages me every day… and the amazing team at Coldwell Banker Steinbach – we work hard, we support each other always, and always strive to do the best for our clients every day.
Here’s looking forward to another 1095 days!
