Floating through a slower market
As a new agent, when I tell people what I've decided to do, I usually get, "ooh, this is not the best time to be getting into real estate, is it?" Very encouraging :) But it's a fair question, what with all the lovely media attention certain aspects of the market have been getting. Notice I say "certain aspects".
Real estate does not disappear, neither does success in this field. If you enter anything with the mindset that you will do well because it is so easy and requires little to no work, then yes, you won't last through a slower market. That's all that we are experiencing now. A big dip after a very big peak.
If you are willing to put in the effort, self- discipline, and professionalism to be able to build and sustain quality contacts and relationships, you can survive any set of market conditions.
That's why I am quite excited to be starting now: I know I will learn the very fundamentals of real estate, with no short cuts. And that sounds good to me. I don't really do things half way, anyway.
I look forward to building my knowledge and experience, so that my contacts will only benefit more and more from my patience, diligence and sense of accountability.
If you'd like to read more about how there was a huge real estate bubble inflated (now burst), here's the link to an article:
