SECTION 2 • PAGE 5 - PLAI1NDEALER-HER ALD. WEDNESDAY . JAM AR\ 9. 1983 Business T Are you a future real estate agent? By Yvonne Beer oacutlv* rie* prwldant, MeHanry County Board of Realtor* Have you e^er considered real estate as a career? As in other professions, not everyone is cut out to be a real estate agent. Persons considering such a career should weigh their motivation and personal qualifications before making any decisions. Answer the following questions as honestly as you can: -Are you able to live on your financial assets for three months or more, or are you dependent on a monthly paycheck to make ends meet? -Are you < sufficiently disciplined to refrain from a large commi^ion on the premise that you might not see another for several months? -Would you be discouraged if your closing falls through and the cheek you counted on didn't materialize? -Are you prepared to dash out of the house at 10:30 on a Sunday night to present a contract? -Are you willing to forgo a long awaited evening out or an important social event to obtain that sale ** or listing you have pursued for so long? If the answers to these questions present you with problems, perhaps you should reconsider. Real estate is an excellent profession, but like others, it i§ not for everyone. Who, then, is a good candidate for this demanding field? The person who is independent, well organized, hardworking and financially secure. The in dividual who is willing to work long hours and enjoys making contacts with the public and who can view rejection as a challenge rather than a personal affront. The person who is willing to invest time and money in education, and who does not depend on such corporate benefits as paid vacations and holidays, medical and dental insurance, sick days and company-paid social security and unemployment benefits. If this description fits you, then^by all means, pursue a real estate career. You may wish to interview some agents or take a real estate seminar at a local college before you begin to study for your real estate license. A career in real estate is not a hobby or pastime. The real estate professional devotes as many and often more hours to their profession as a doctor, .nurse or attorney.
