Richmond Hill Georgia Homes- In My Prime

In My Prime - Richmond Hill Real Estate (edit/delete)

 In My Prime - Richmond Hill Real Estate. I listen to a lot of sports talk radio. The talking heads often speak of a player's "prime". "Prime" is different in every sport. In pro football, prime is between the ages of 26 & 32. Pro basketball is similar and pro baseball players enjoy a little longer prime that can extend up to about 36. Have you ever wondered, "When is prime for a real estate agent?"

In Georgia, a person can get licensed at the age of eighteen. A person with their wits could theoretically sell homes until the day they die at a very ripe old age. For the sports guys, their prime is determined by physicality and mental capacity. In other words; at what age can a player's body most readily perform what the player's mind is commanding? And also when is the player's mental ability at its sharpest so as to tell the willing body what to do? We thankfully don't have to rely on our physicality as real estate agents though we must rely on our mental readiness.

That's the beauty of being a real estate agent I suppose and it's why so many people can be successful. We can all choose to have winning attitudes and therefore do well in this business. However, without a good bit of experience this business will chew you up in a hurry. I don't see many eighteen year old Realtor prodigies. Yes, they can get licenses, but finding a person who is willing to trust an eighteen year old is a different story. I don't mean for anyone to discriminate against a teenage agent, in fact we, as more experienced agents, should be quick to mentor a young person who is eager to learn.

The “Prime” I’m talking about is a combination of experience, attitude, knowledge, conviction and presence. It takes a few years of getting enough deals under your belt for an agent to possess these qualities and it takes a few years of life lessons and professional lessons to achieve those character traits. I've been successful selling Real Estate in Richmond Hill, GA for the past seven and a half years because I possessed a few of those characteristics from the beginning and for almost four years I've been teamed with another winner, Randy Bocook of Keller Williams Realty. That winner has tortured, I mean "tutored" me and helped me hone my craft so that I can say today, on my fortieth birthday, that I'm most certainly in my prime.
