Real Estate is More Than Selling Houses
People often ask me, “Why a career in real estate?” Why not some other similar sales job — unit trust agent, insurance agent, or direct selling agent?
Like other real estate agents, I chose this profession because it offers flexibility (in time), empowerment (to run one’s own business), and potential (to earn high income). The sky’s the limit to earning as much as you want. Your income correlates with how much effort was invested.
Having been in the industry for a few years, I’ve come to learn the attractiveness of real estate. My “why” extends deeper and wider than before.
Need
Recalling my university days, one concept comes to mind — Maslow’s Hierarchy of Need. At the very bottom of the pyramid is a human’s physiological needs with shelter being one of the physiological needs. Even without Maslow’s Hierarchy of Need explained, the 3 common and basic needs of a human are food, shelter, and clothing. Shelter and a roof over our head is of extreme importance.
