Default Realtor Work

One thing that I do know is that I personally could never work as a realtor or anything like that.

You really have to be a people person and be able to really listen to what people are wanting and to top it all off be able to deliver what they are looking for or at least very close to it.

As we all know some people are practically impossible to work with and what they want for a certain price is at times impractical.

I just don't have the patience to do those kinds of things. Granted I have more patience than some people do, however when it comes to doing some of the things that realtors have to do, I just know that I would be horrible at it, so I guess it is a good things I never tried to become a realtor.

I am much better off sticking to the job that I already have, because I don't have to deal with people to awefully much in my line of work,LOL.

People person, YES! Listening to what people want, YES! If what they want is out there and they are realistic about it, it's very easy to find it for them.

As we all know some people are practically impossible to work with and what they want for a certain price is at times impractical. The more you do it the more you are able to read people and weed through them quickly. We have a handful of simple questions we ask the weeds out most. Plus we have enough business that we pick and choose who we want to work with and refer the rest to other agents in our office and still get a referral fee for it.

You do have to be a people person to be a realtor. Jared seems to be a people person and there is no doubt that he knows what he's talking about. I have seen him offer tons of advice and it always makes sense. I am a people person for the most part. I'm not a realtor though. You do have to be able to guage people and help them learn what they are looking for because often the house hunters don't really know.

If at any time I was looking to purchase a home, I think I would speak to Jared first. He does have a whole lot of great advice I know that he would really be able to help me out.

Jared is also a great people person, and that is what it takes. It is surely something that I could never do. I just am not much of a people person. I tend to get irritated fairly easily.LOL.
