I’m going to pose a series of questions and as your time permit share or address one, two or more of the question to help someone whom may be on the other side of a transaction to make both of your lives better.
Here we go:
- What is you favorites part of a typical day?
- What is the least glamorous actively that you must perform on a regular basis?
- What skill do you make the most benefit of?
- What skill would you most like to improve upon?
- What makes for a skilled and talented Realtor, or Loan Originator, Notary, Appraiser, Stager or (what ever your title is).
- If you could start over in this business, what one thing would you do differently?
- If you were appointed “Emperor for a Day” could make one change in the way business is conducted, what would you change?
- What is the simplest and most common sense thing you learned to do to help you be better at what you do?
- Who is the smartest person you know and what have you learned from them to help you in the business.
- Who is your best advisor or mentor to give you guidance about the business?
- What accomplishment or achievements are proud of?
Have fun but carry a serious overtone. Keep it positive and hopeful when you are across the table from this rookie down the road, if won’t be much to grip about and a pleasant experience because you shared in this forum. My experience is that those information carry much impact and help some if this is the right field or not.
Thanks in advance for your participation and contributions and we wish each of you a wonderful holiday from the entire QEC Internet Services Family.
Funny you should write and post these questions tonight. I just got an email from someone who'd like to talk to me about becoming a RE agent. I emailed him back that I would love to talk to him about it. I will share this link with him too.
So my answer to:
I would have spent more time interviewing brokers. Looking for a broker who considers their agents as customers with whom they provide services, and who is able to offer training, coaching/mentoring in both traditional RE methods and innovative methods. My first broker was not a good choice for me, my second is much better, and my third will be the best of all!
HI there,
You pose some interesting questions.
1.As emperor, I would make it far more difficult to obtain a r.e. license.
2. I would have probably remained as an agent/broker and not become a broker-owner. Not totally sure about this one?
3. As for the smartest, fortunately I have 2 "knowledgeable" colleagues, both brokers with 30+ years of experience that I consult with from time to time. We just pick each others brains every now and then. Between the 3 of us we have about 99 combined years of "in-the-trenches" r.e. experience. I value and trust their competence and knowledge.

Would you expand on your comment to share what the real pleasure is finding a loan? If you take a complete 1003 and match the borrower with a program they qualify for would you agree it becomes a process of just keeping things on track, holding people accountable for deliverables, meeting the underwriting stips and monitoring buyer's or seller's remorse.
I 'd like folks to walk away with a tangible something to add quality to all our lives. I don't know the author but there is a quote "In order to be terrific, you must be specific!” If you would kindly expand it would awesomely appreciated.What skill do you make the most benefit of? My computer skills and organizational skils.
Mary, thanks much!
