Working, Working, Working...It's All Good.


Last year I found myself in the position of having to "re-invent" myself. It was a sobering, but necessary change in my life..and I decided to make the most of it. After considerable thought, I chose to go into Real Estate. Now, it might not have been the best time to become a Real Estate Agent, but I have made it work. It's the greatest job I've ever had...and I LOVE it!

I work my own hours, am my own boss, choose my own clients...and I actually make good money doing it!

It's a LOT of work...some days I'm running for 12+ hours, but the thing is, I'm HAPPY when I'm working and I ENJOY doing it! (even when I have the clients from Hell!) Today I wrote an offer from a buyer on one of my own listings...then I wrote a seller's counter-offer...then I wrote a buyer's counter-offer...all running back and forth between Seller, Buyer and the office to get it all done. Tomorrow, I am showing the same listing to even another buyer..and on Sunday, I will be having an Open House...so as you can see, the Real Estate business is not as bad as we are all hearing. Actually, Real Estate in Eugene, Oregon and the surrounding areas is GREAT...and I'm so glad to be a part of it!
