Miranda Rollins here, I am quickly approaching my third year in the Real Estate business. As my top notch broker promised, my business is beginning to flourish! Year one was more of a haze, as I continued to work a full time job, and struggled to attend weekly trainings. As my first year wrapped up, I realized this business would never become what I dreamed unless I was going to make it a priority. So last January I took the plunge. Times have been tough, ya know we don’t get paid until we close a sale. But with hard work and the support of my husband and children, we have persevered!
Once I focused entirely on my Real Estate business I slowly but surely started seeing the fruits of my labor. By the end of that first full time year, I had more listings than any other agent in North Gulf County! I was blown away and beyond humbled! Sure North Gulf County is not high priced, or fast paced. But the people are so caring, down to earth and truly a blessing to work with. There are many obstacles to overcome when listing and selling in this market. The biggest struggle being; getting priced to sell! We all know our property is worth something, but often disappointed to find its not worth what we think. Asking someone to put a price on a home they’ve raised their family in, is almost as difficult as asking them to put a price on their child’s life. The older generation values the dollar more than we youngsters. Most still have the couch they bought in the 1970’s, and can tell you how much they paid for, which is exactly why they never got rid of it. 🙂 Momma can tell you how family meals were cooked in that kitchen, and Daddy can tell you how many nails he put in that deck. With each listing I make new friends, and learn something I didnt know the day before. Seems, in this business you can never know too many people or have too much information.
Ut-oh dinner is burning, lets do this again next week…
