Connecticut Real Estate Blog - Real Real Estate in CT

I wanted to be a real estate agent for a few years before I actually became one.  The time was right once I had some experience as a home owner and real estate investor.  It became even more right when my career in marketing was not what I had hoped for.  So, I signed up for a class to become a part-time agent, just to get my feet wet.

At the time I was taking classes, everyone wanted to be a real estate agent.  You could make millions and do almost no work, right!?  At least that was the perception of my classmates - many of whom had already signed up with an agency and were just waiting to pass their test so they could get their picture printed on a shiny new business card.

To help us along was our instructor, a well-know agent and educator.  I learned a great deal in his class but I’ll honestly remember him most by his constant references to Grey Goose.  I hadn’t been a fan of it myself but he seemed to like it so much, I found myself compelled to buy some.  Three years later, that bottle remains in my freezer, half drunk. 

When I feel like having vodka, I’ll take it out and think of my instructor and wonder where my classmates are today.  I’m a full-time buyer’s agent now and am finding my way in this business.  I hope they are, too.  As for my instructor, cheers!
