“So, what have you been up to?”
I hear this alot since I told the “whole wide world” that I went into real estate.
I used to think that everyone knew what agents do… until I became one.
This is what my mum thinks I do…
What my friends think I do…
What my Inlaws and some other friends think I do…
And this is the epic one…
What my kids think I do…
Finally, what I thought I would do…
Which I did enjoyed much free aircon in the showflat, but that is not all…
Learning a new trade is never easy. I must say it hasn’t been all rosy for me. It takes alot to be positive. Sometimes, it feels like a courting game – where what you give and what you receive do not always match up.
I have kept myself busy building my own website >> www.thewisteriacondo-yishun.com (its for a new launch in Yishun), running my own adwords campaign, posting on propertyguru and 99.co, press ads, approaching strangers on the road, and distributing flyers in the neighbourhood.
I also do cold calling and approach co-broke agents to build up my network – In this industry, network and speed are crucial for survival.
In a nut shell, it’s not exactly a very comfortable job: In fact, it often forces me out of my comfort zone. But it would be worth it, I reckon. 🙂
