I always dreamed of being a realtor. I loved looking at houses I felt drawn to them. Not only that, but I was working at a security company that trained me to call realtors to sell gift cards to for the information of their buyers and sellers. This job was great and helped me get to know so many agents one particular was a friend of my husband's and all the agents would always try and recruit me. I would laugh thinking that was silly. Not knowing they are groomed to promote and paid from each recruit a small amount compared to the brokerage. I felt special they looked at me that way though. Months went on, and I started thinking about making the leap I saw this push for more sales and was looking for a sign I suppose. I had a customer who was from another country he didn't have the required info to set up and account per our company's rules. I spoke to him, and he wanted security to feel safe, and I understood when he was speaking I wanted to help him. I did some research and found out he could get home security and there was not a block per corporate it was just my company. I called the man and shared this resource and no I didn't make money or a sale but that man felt safe and listened to. The agent trusted me and knew I respected his clients every client. My boss was not too happy about that. I suppose his view was not the same and that is ok who knows unless I was in his shoes. I left home security and walked into real estate. A whole new world to me. I studied hard and finally passed my exams I was a licensed realtor with a well known brokerage. I was on a team that would help me. I have found that is very normal...
