After hearing President Obama’s State of the Union speech, I thought about what he said and how it applies to us in the Real Estate Profession.Personally I entered into Real Estate 9 years ago with the notion that I would genuinely help guide people to make some of the most important decisions they would make in their lives. In doing so I knew I would forever impact how and where they lived. I was careful not to show them properties beyond their means and coached them on how not to let their emotions dictate how much they would spend. I turned down unethical business proposals, never crossed the line or looked the other way and for that I am still able to sleep at night. Today I feel that it is my duty to help, because it is my passion and my calling, not because it produces an income.We, as REALTORS are licensed to serve.
