I loved opening, owning and running my own real estate brokerage, GateHouse Real Estate Company, from my home office. I loved working in my pajamas, only wearing heels when I met with clients, hanging out with my dog, Simon, all day– the whole thing. And then, I got lonely. I missed the high drama of working in a full service real estate office– you know, chatting with colleagues, sitting at an actual desk, having a receptionist, brown bagging my lunch, all that good stuff.
So I have traded in my PRINCIPAL BROKER title for Associate Broker at RE/MAX Overland. What are the perks? Well, I have so many more resources at hand, including support on buying and selling vacant land and real estate investing. I have contact management software, a snazzy new listing presentation and cool new business cards. Am I happier and more motivated? YES! I love being here and doing my real estate thing in the big time.
Do I have to wear heels and do my hair everyday? Sigh. Yes. Plus, I may have to take out a loan to pay for all of the guilt-based treats I bring home to Simon every day.
