The best part is that it is in the field that I most want to work in! Real Estate.

I have a Real Estate license, but I didn't find success as a Realtor. I've all but given up on that dream.

I hope I impress her. This would be a great way to get me a paycheck and maybe get me motivated to one day give it another try on my own.

In the meantime, I'll be glad to do the clerical stuff and help someone else achieve their goals.
I'll be learning as I work.

Wish me luck!

hey, good luck. try not to be nervous (its possible that the person doing the interviewing is just as nervous as you are). do some research on the company before hand and practice in front of the mirror.

I wish you lot miamilady. I sincerely wish that you will get it. If you experienced in the field of real state it only means that you are bound for it. I hope that you will be selected. I will be happy for you if this thing happens.

I hope you do well at this. Real Estate is a tough racket many times.


myLot reputation of 68/100. miamilady (2498)   ranked 3,246 out of 38,461 in life  3 years ago

Yeah, it is. I think I'm better suited for the "behind the scenes" stuff, for now anyway. That's why I'm hoping this works out. It's just what I want.

Good luck to ya! I hope you are able to snag it. I don't know much about Miami property, but it must be priced far better than property here in Wisconsin and Illinois. So, you get a much better commission down there. Good luck!

I may have a job interview of my own soon, the second one now for the same position...it's at the same company I currentlt work at.


myLot reputation of 68/100. miamilady (2498)   ranked 3,246 out of 38,461 in life  3 years ago

Prices here are high. Too high. That's part of the reason the market has bottomed out. Things aren't selling. High inventory. Nobody's buying. It's a buyers market but people still aren't buying. The investors saturated the market and now there are more investors than people who would live in the homes. The people who would live in the homes can't afford the mortgage, taxes and insurance.

The insurances rates have skyrotted, primarily due to the number of hurricanes that passed through Florida a couple of years ago and the taxes are just plain out of control.

The cost of gas doesn't help either.

It's not a commission job, in my case, which is a good think. I'll be paid an hourly rate. I won't be the Realtor here, I'll be the behind the scenes person.

I wasn't able to establish myself as a successful Realtor when I tried. Too many factors working against me.


myLot reputation of 94/100. halina23 (1115)   ranked 440 out of 38,461 in life  3 years ago

Sounds like a good compromise. Hourly rates give you stability, and always assure you'll get a paycheck. My aunt does real estate on commission, and some weeks she is barely scraping by. You have to be very aggressive to sell homes, and the work just isn't for everyone. Selling overall requires a certain cut-throat attitude. I know- I work with sales people all the time here at my current company. Yes, you get paid more, but at what cost to your health and sanity?


myLot reputation of 68/100. miamilady (2498)   ranked 3,246 out of 38,461 in life  3 years ago

Yeah, I have a lot of the qualities that are required to be a good Realtor, but I don't have that "cut throat" edge. That was part of my problem.
I'm a little too idealistic to be an effective salesperson.:-)


myLot reputation of 94/100. halina23 (1115)   ranked 440 out of 38,461 in life  3 years ago

Just remember, a house isn't small- it's cozy. And, it's not a crap shack- it's a fixer-upper. Or, it's not rife with area crime- it's in a neighborhood with character.


myLot reputation of 95/100. webeishere (12489)   ranked 356 out of 38,461 in life  3 years ago

Minnesota real estate and property have increased so much in the last few years as well. It's crazy in the real estate field nowdays.
