Not long ago, I was talking with some real estate agents out here in California at Del Taco, across from their Real Estate Office, a Century 21.
They were very nice to me, and were definitely the "National, but Neighborly" types.
Some how we got on the subject, of kids and soccer and real estate careers.
They were joking about soccer in relation to selling real estate and that the market was a pretty tough team to beat right now.
Then, I popped the question; "Would You Want Your Kids to Pursue a Real Estate Career?" One stated that if that is what they wanted then they would encourage them in any way they could to break into the real estate field.
The other said; "Oh, hell no!" and then I thought wow, what a big difference in answers.
Interestingly enough the one which said; NO, in no uncertain terms, was actually doing okay even in this crazy market "Fresno, CA" is where we were in a little suburb called; Clovis, which is by the Fresno State University; "Go Bull Dogs" signs were all over the place in fact.
One thing occurred to me is that the harder working one was sweating it out, working like a dog and the other taking it easy.
Why do you suppose their conclusions about their offspring going into business in real estate was so different? And more importantly if I asked you the same question: "Would You Want Your Kids to Pursue a Real Estate Career?" Well, what would your answer be and why?
