Carolyn Hawkins answered:
I agree with Alexandra from East Hampton. Although I love being a Realtor, I don't think the general public knows how much time. money and effort it takes to be a one; not to mention we are on call 24/7, and the gas taking prospective buyers out, etc. As many of you do , I spend a lot of time at my local Board of Realtors taking classes and continuing educational courses above and beyond what is required to stay licensed, so that I can better assist buyers and sellers, and to stay on top of the current market trends. I do think the general public thinks that it's easy to become a realtor and to work as one - which is not so. I don't know about other realtors but I work twice as hard at being a good realtor than any other job I've ever had (and most of my prior jobs were extremely difficult.) Therefore any commission I've earned is well deserved. - Fri Nov 13 2009, 17:56
