Sometimes my friends ask me about what my alternative life would look like – what I would be doing if I wasn’t a Vancouver real estate agent. Because my clients are like my family and my readers are like my friends, I’ve decided to share my answer! So here’s a peek into the lives I could have lived…
If I wasn’t a Vancouver real estate agent…
At one point, I considered being a lawyer. I even took the LSATs and scored well!
When I was applying to school, however, I decided what I really wanted to do was tell people’s stories. I thought Public Relations would help me do that, so I studied it at Simon Fraser University. My favourite thing about that time was having a chance to work with and meet so many people.
When I got out of school, I knew I wanted to continue working with people and telling their stories. Luckily, I found the perfect job that combines both these skills – being a Realtor! I get to spend my days meeting amazing people, learning about their lives, and using their stories as the inspiration to find them their ideal home or buyer.
Wait… I just ended up back at being a Vancouver real estate agent. Let me try that again…
If I wasn’t a Vancouver real estate agent, part 2…
While I thought about law at one point, I would have likely been a tennis player if I wasn’t a Vancouver real estate agent. I’ve always loved tennis, even though I didn’t play when I was growing up. I loved the fast pace of the game, as well as the rush of the competition.
Now, I find that similar fast pace in my day as a Vancouver real estate agent. The rush of competition is there too as I fight to get my clients the best deal possible!… And I just did it again! I’m right back at being a Realtor.
I guess the truth is that being a Vancouver real estate agent is in my blood. It just fits me – and I love it! It’s this amazing blend of all my skills and interests, combining my love of people, telling their stories, a fast-paced lifestyle, and the rush of competition. So while it’s fun to talk about potential alternative paths, I wouldn’t want any other life. I exactly where I’m meant to be.
