APRIL 2019 WOMEN'S COUNCIL OF REALTORS MEMBERS,

Pardon our "dust" the Women's Council HQ put the website (which impacted our website) under contruction. We did not have access to our new members, roster or ability to update our calendar this past month.

OUR SINCERE APOLOGIES!

We are back up and running and what a first Quarter it was!

We now have 74 REALTOR MEMBERS AND 8 National Strategic Partners...

Our local strategic partnership membership has expanded as well we have now grown to over 20+ strategic partners.

There's been an upswing in activity in our local markets and business seems to be in full swing.

Recently I was doing some research for a workshop and I wanted to know the top ranking answers for the question of

Why did you enter the Real Estate Field? Survey says: TOP 7 ANSWERS ON THE BOARD!!

1) You get to be your own Boss!

2) Choosing a Real Estate Industry Career has low barrier of entry

3) Earning Potential $$

4) Helping others during major milestones in life

5) Always Changing!

6) You become the expert

7) Incentive for Working Hard

I could relate to ALL of the answers but more important it was a good opportunity for me to reflect on my "Why" . What got me into this business? At the time, in 2005 my kids were little, and I wanted to be there for them, while earning income for the family. My main reason was FLEXIBILITY. Whatever the reason you joined our profession I'm so very glad that you have joined Women's Council. Women's Council offers professionals in the Real Estate industry a chance to collaborate, help each other, network and have some fun! Let's face it we want to work with others that we know, like and trust. Life is too short to not have some fun!
