hi career sided I'm Scott Friedman I'm a
realtor with coldwell banker in sherman
oaks california in my profession is all
about the negotiation it's all about
finding out what a buyer needs to make a
deal go through and what a seller needs
to be happy selling one of their most
prized possessions their house okay I
think that they should raise her offer
exactly I work with my wife Margie every
morning I like to come to the office I
like to actually be in front of my
computer at a in the morning maybe by
nine o'clock with a cup of coffee and I
like to rethink what happened the day
before many times in the middle of a
negotiation it's not necessarily
complete in one day so it takes a couple
of days to finish the negotiations
sometimes there are phone calls made
between me and another agent sometimes
their phone calls made between me and my
buyer or seller just to get a feel of
what they need before I put together the
negotiation we're gonna go look at the
house my job is never the same day to
day I've done hundreds of transactions
and not one transaction that I've ever
done is exactly the same as any other
transaction after you my work
environment is interesting I don't punch
a clock it can be a seven day a week job
because of open houses because of when
when I'm able to show houses if I'm
representing a buyer and we're seeing a
house that a seller actually lives in we
have to work around both the buyers
hours and the sellers hours and that can
be a little bit difficult to times but
we always seem to make it work if I was
talking to somebody that was thinking
about going to real estate I would
simply say go to an open house see what
Realtors do if you can see yourself
doing what other successful Realtors do
then walk into an office speak with an
office manager speak with other agents
that are successful get a good feel for
what they're doing and take a class and
if this is something that interests you
then take the next step which is to
begin to get your license and begin the
training
this is a business that for many people
has made many people very successful
it's a wonderful way to interact with
people that need your help those lights
I would recommend this job simply
because I have the chance every single
day to help somebody it's until listen
to what somebody needs to try to
structure a deal that works for them and
if I do my job correctly to see this
incredible joy in somebody's face when I
finally have them the key to their brand
new house I specialize in the American
dream thank you look thanks to resided
for making this possible
