Personal Narrative: A Career In Real Estate

One thing I have had concerns about is whether I am taking the right major for what I want to be. I have always been interested in people and what they do and think, and choosing social science just felt right to me. However, I have have seen very few undergraduate urban planning programs, and I like that the University of Maryland, University College fits in with my working-adult lifestyle, even though they do not offer a specific major for urban planning. The Princeton Review explains how "Urban Planning majors study

My family and I moved to Florida from New York in 2011 so my husband could pursue his career as an Electrician. I have been a stay-at-home mom for the last five years and now that my youngest child in is school full-time I am ready to return the workforce and I want to begin a career in Residential Real Estate Sales. In 2007, I worked for Niagara Frontier Funding and Realty as a Real Estate Assistant in Lockport, NY. I performed many duties such as handling incoming and outgoing mail, answering phones, scheduling appointments, faxing, filing, gathering information from potential buyers and sellers, hosting open houses, and attending monthly sales meetings. I also obtained my Real Estate License while working there. In less than a year, I was

What to do after college? This question plagues many students, who barely think past the next test, but I believe that I will be able to achieve my aspirations after college. The diversity of a finance major excites me because I believe, at this time, that I want to go into the business world, but on the numbers side of things. From the stock and housing market collapse of 2008, I knew that I wanted to demystify the seemingly omnipresent market. As I dug deeper, I simultaneously confused myself, but never lost interest, instead as I faced increasingly complex terminology and processes I continually wanted to learn more.

In 2008, my parents decided that the next step to further build their lives was to buy a home. Around this time, the house market was flourishing in Cape Coral so my parents used some of their savings, packed our stuff, and moved us to a new place. A few months later, the stock market crashes and my mom couldn't find any employment in any line of work leaving her to settle as a county bus driver barely even knowing the language. And as if we already weren't struggling enough in 2009 my mom got pregnant with my younger sister and around this time business in my dad's shop was falling apart. Having a new baby in the family meant having another mouth to feed, but despite this my parents were happy with the new addition to the family and hoped that she would bring some joy into our home which had already been absent.

During my four years of high school, I have felt an impending doom at having to answer one question. “What do you want to do?” This question brings stress to millions of high school seniors each year. When I began to answer this question I evaluated my skills, interest, and passions. My research was inconclusive. I’ve realized that picking a major is a huge stepping stone into my future. A decision that is best not to be rushed. Because of this inner turmoil I previously decided to enter college as undecided, but I have recently had a self-realization which has lead me to apply to Loyola as a Political- Science major and hopefully continue on to Loyola College of Law.

Earlier this year my aunt was left without a home. Having little money to buy a home, she had to settle for buying a small plot of land. She needed help cleaning up the plot of land, however, I could not help her because she lives in Colombia. I created a digital poster with details about a clean-up day and clean-up supplies needed. I sent it in a family group message, this was scary to me because I thought I would be judged for asking people to clean up while I wasn’t going to. The responses I received were completely the opposite of that. My family believed my idea was great and was excited get involved. Soon, I started receiving pictures of at least 20 family members cleaning up the land. After this amazing turn-out, I knew it was possible

My first job out of college was covering state politics for the biggest radio-TV station in Wyoming.

After spending time as a partner with a large firm in South Florida, my wife and I decided we wanted to return to the Kansas City area to raise our family of three small children — Lyla and Fitz, who are two-year-old twins, and a four-year-old boy named Milo. While at the previous firm, I represented many of the nation’s largest banks and mortgage servicing companies in the areas of residential real estate and mortgage lending. Leaning on my experience working with these large national clients, I strive to make each of my clients feel as if they are my only client by responding to phone calls and emails, taking the time to listen to your situation and providing a level of legal services usually only afforded to fortune 500 companies.

Life in the high rise was many things. Tame was not one of them. The nights were filled with vivacious parties on the upper floors that echoed through the entire building, even to the lobby if all else was quiet in the building. The days, where I had expected them to disciplined, were filled with even more alcohol. Cocktail parties occurred from dusk till dawn without fail. Even when everything seemed to be in order the monstrous addition to the skyline creaked and groaned. If you stood still long enough on the 25th floor you could almost feel the entire structure swaying, swaying to the rhythm of life.

When I began my search for an internship, I knew I wanted to end up in some form of real estate. When I was hired by Principal to work on the asset management side of investment properties, I was not aware I would find the sub-field of real estate I’d like to pursue a career in. I feel as though I have grown as a professional through the many aspects and actions it takes to manage “Class A” real estate product. There are two skill sets in particular I have grown the most in at Principal: Analyzing and Human Interaction.

Being a 1st generation immigrant and a Realtor many of my clients don't understand the value of working or hiring a representative for their real estate transaction. The country I come from they did not have structured representatives/ real estate agencies. Many of the transactions are done within a family, friends and acquainted. These have created confusion and misconception in many of the buyers on role Realtor play through the transaction.

My ultimate goes is to run my own real estate brokerage firm. I realize that I will have to accomplish a lot to be able to that. But I am more than ready to go out and achieve all of that. My passion for real estate began about my sophomore year, my dad asked me if I had any intentions of doing real estate and at first I wasn’t quit sure what he meant. Also I wasn’t very educated about real estate at the time. My dad and I talked about it and he informed me about and taught me some of the basic of real estate. That is how it all started since that day, I have become with the way real estate works and learned to pay attention to the smaller things in a home that make that home

Born and raised in Long Island, New York I, along with my wife and children, are deeply rooted in the community. With over a decade of experience in real estate and additional experience as a tax accountant for a “Big Four” accounting firm and real estate investor. I am a dominant force in the real estate world with my finger on its pulse. As one of the area’s preeminent Brokers, and owner of Long Island’s Finest Homes, I hold the highly sought after NAR real estate designations of CRS, E-Pro, AHWD, SFR and CBR.

I hope everything is going well since the last time we talked. I wanted to touch base with you to see if you have given the builder the remaining $40K for the Earnest Money Deposit? If so if you could send me a copy of the check or wire transfer as well as a copy of the bank statement or transaction history showing the $40K leaving your bank account that would be greatly appreciated so that I can clear that stipulation from the Underwriter. If you haven’t given the builder the remaining $40K not a problem we will just take care of all of this when you do. Please do not hesitate to give me a call if you have any questions. I hope you have a great

I have been trained to become a chemist since the first year of my high school. This is a challenging career, requiring analytical thinking, attention to details, and adaptability. It is also a well-paying and promising career. However, chemistry is not what I have always dreamt of doing the rest of my life. As someone who is concerned about the development of sub-Saharan Africa, I came to a conclusion that what this region needs is not only scientists but also people who know and understand leadership and international affairs. In this paper, I compare my strengths and abilities to the qualities that one should have in order to excel as a chemist and a diplomat.
