Why Realtors are the Best People (A Short Love Letter to Our Industry)

Their Work is Important

Realtors are in the business of making dreams come true. Owning a home is the cornerstone of the American dream. Realtors help families navigate the largest and most intimidating financial transaction of their lifetime. They serve as guides, counselors, cheerleaders, and protectors. Many of them remain friends of their clients for life. America is at its best when its citizens are stakeholders. The idea of an ownership society is one where all Americans have an ownership stake in our nation and, therefore, are vested in the nation’s well-being. Homeownership is the primary way people become stakeholders. Realtors make that happen. 

 

They Bring Optimism and Positive Energy

Sales is not for the weak of heart. Rejection is a daily experience. Success in sales requires an almost irrational sense of optimism. Optimism brings positive energy to virtually any situation. Realtors are trained to reject negative thinking and surround themselves with individuals who share a positive mindset. They share these disciplines with their families, creating an environment of gratitude and positivity at home and work.   

 

They are Dreamers

Realtors believe they can achieve the unachievable. They have vision boards and spend time thinking about a life of abundance. They believe in daily affirmations and reward themselves when they hit milestones. They rarely complain about things they can’t change. They mastermind with like-minded individuals and are grateful that they live in a country that rewards hard work and innovation.  

 

They are Lifelong Learners

 Realtors are lifelong learners, constantly consuming books, seminars, and podcasts that give them an edge. They are continually seeking motivation and breakthrough information that can get them an inch closer to their goals. They wake up early each day, ready for battle and eager to learn something new. 

 

I have been blessed to work with realtors for most of my life and will continue to make it my career to honor and advocate for them.
