Three weeks into my new life in Smiths Falls and things are starting to form a rhythm. I'm finally starting to recognize what is on the market and feeling comfortable enough to answer phone calls without the constant feeling that I am going to lose my lunch. In the short time I've been in this industry I've come to understand that real estate involves a lot of acting, which at seven years old became one of my strongest loves and one that I still hold dear to me. In this industry, you need to act confidently and knowledgeable to your clients and to those around you and when you don't know the answer to reply by saying that you will "look into that". This was a hard tip for me to learn as since I was small I've always wanted to look like I know everything and hate to admit when I don't. However, luckily for me the first time I showed a home by myself my buyers were more than nice and made the experience enjoyable rather than daunting. And when in doubt I always have The Toronto Real Estate Board website where they explain everything in "plain english". Very helpful for buyers and new real estate professionals a like.
Although I loved my life in Toronto and my job in PR was constantly fun and challenging, I am amazed at the enthusiasm that comes out of my mouth when people ask how I'm enjoying this new career and life in "Sensational Smiths Falls". It has been fun, busy, frustrating, educating and exciting. It reminds me of when I was small and went on a local Talent television show (Home Grown Cafe) and told the producers that I wanted to be a real estate sales person when I grew up- their reaction took me back a bit and out of this small person came an excitement for this industry that would overpower any doubts.
I'm starting to learn that my seven year old self is not only my professional voice but may also be my inner actress, full of confidence and personality.
