Why I chose to be a Realtor
March 28, 2008 by Darbi Bolton · 2 Comments
Why do I choose to do real estate?
Whether it’s work-related or personal, we all yearn for those moments in life when we realize, “Ah, ha! This is why I do what I do…” It’s one of those moments when you are so involved that you can feel it in your fingertips and in your toes, one of those moments when you just know that you’re supposed to be right there and that very moment…ever had one of those? Funny, the longer I stay in real estate, the more they seem to happen.
Sure, to the ordinary outsider, Realtors are stuffy, wear blazers and suits and simply drive people around all day looking at houses, right? Wrong. To me, this profession couldn’t get more personal, more attached and more emotional than anything I’ve ever experienced. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
Get this, you meet someone who wants to take a huge step in their life and buy a home…probably even their first home and they want you to help them do it. Of all the people in the world, you have been chosen to help change someone’s life in such a big way. Then, you start spending a lot of time with them on the phone, over emails, in the car…all finding out not only what they want in a home, but why they want it in a home. All the way down to things like “This room is HUGE! We could put our six boys in here in bunk beds and the other three older kids can finally have their own rooms,” or “This house is PERFECT. I could put my shoes in this closet, have the piano in here and then even do my photo shoots in the out building in the back” to “Oh my word! I could put my three bikes here AND my kayak too! Can you believe this?”
I know it might sound strange, but sometimes us ’stuffy-blazer-wearin’-Realtors’ do get a bit attached. We are people with emotions too, you know? We sometimes find ourselves wanting a particular home for our clients more than they probably even do, getting emotionally spent over loosing a contract to someone else who came in a mere $2,000 higher and having to scoop ourselves right up off the floor where are clients are lying from the devastation as well.
I, myself, was lucky enough to have one of these moments yesterday and wanted to express my love and gratitude toward the profession. It truly brought light to the fact that I am so very thankful to be able to do this for a living day after day. I am very thankful for being able to experience so many different things around town with so many different types of people and I am more thankful that my clients can see my passion for what I do bouncing wildly in my eyes every time we meet.
Conquer all, my friends! It’s right at your fingertips! 
Holly White has been in Real Estate related industries going back to 1995 and has experience in not only real estate sales, but also in mortgage finance and real estate appraisal. Holly has a huge love for music and moved to Nashville in 2003 to further progress a family business in the music industry and open a recording studio on Music Row called Sixteen Ton Recording Studios. During that time she has also managed to take Nashville by storm in real estate with RE/Max Elite.
My favorite are first time home buyers. Even if there are struggles or disappointments, when they finally do close on their very first home, that feeling is hard to beat!
Hello I wanted to introduce myself and tell you a little about my agency. I own Nannies of Brentwood. A full service referral agency for families in need of full time, part time or occasional care. Experienced caregivers that come to your home. Nuturing, responsible and loving sitters on my registry that love working with children. They have chosen caregiving as a career. Not just someone that decided today they want to take care of kids.
I work with several agents in town, networking with my clients offering real estate services, hoping you will refer clients to us. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments about our service. We also have a full staff of housekeepers for everyday or maybe just a one time deep clean.
Thank you for your time.
