I can get on my soapbox faster than some, that&#039;s for sure, but I take my profession very seriously because it&#039;s very important to my clients, and for that reason alone I need to be as sharp as I can be.

Seriously, I couldn&#039;t buy a better comment!  Thank you!&lt;/strong&gt;</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Matt, I really appreciate that, I really do.

Everyone saw an opportunity to make a quick buck...but, the idea was bigger than the ambition or perseverance.  You can spot the agents that are ambitiously pursuing real estate as a passion, and you my friend are one of them - a rarity.  Keep swimming against the tide brother.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These past few years the market has become inundated with agents.

I&#039;m sitting in a meeting right now, in fact, and we&#039;re talking about how quickly things can pass you buy if you&#039;re not wiling to educate yourself, by your own initiative.  I might not like the process sometimes, but I need to always be looking for that opportunity.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks An, for the comment.

That willingness to learn is a characteristic that helps people adapt. Great points, Jeremy.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Getting the license was just like being accepted to college &#8211; each and every day since I’ve been in the classroom.
