I should do a post: “A Day in The Life of A Realtor.” Maybe next week. Too much drama to get into right now. At least these last two weeks, I started showing property to more solid buyers. I have put most of my attention to getting bank listings and just found out that the only asset manager connection that I have will not be giving listings until November. I can’t wait until November! I’ll sink into the black lagoon.
So I applied again for other jobs this week as a back up plan. I have been trying to get a job in the last couple of months while I was focused on the asset managers. All I have gotten is brick walls. Patience is definitely a virtue and I think I have mastered it in these months.
I also went to a Hope Now meeting. I am now trying to get my own loan modified. I met my mortgage holder face to face and explained my situation. It was a relief to be able to see that they understood my situation and were able to work with me. It was good to see a human behind the company that can take your home away. The guy I spoke to was very empathetic. He understood my situation. I took all my paperwork of the mountains of effort that I have done to get into this business.
I took extra copies of my resume and broker package. After all there were several banks there. ” Hire me!”, I told them. It was comforting to see different people willing to hear my story and their efforts to assist me. They said they would try to put me in the “preferred broker” system. It is insanity trying to tap into this type of business.
I almost threw in the towel yesterday. But as life would have it. This new client that called me during my beach week wants to put an offer on a property. So, as I tweeted today: ” I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel.” The towel and the hope is not in the garbage yet. Stay tuned.
