When I was teaching, I did a lot of working from home. It’s where I would do a lot of my lesson planning and it was where I graded much of my exams and homework. Whenever I would move to a new house or apartment, I would set up my working area so that I could effectively use the time I had for working at home. Now that I am in real estate, I am still working from home, but the focus has changed.
I spend a lot of my time at home gathering information. I learn about the real estate market on a national, regional and local basis. I learn about different home mortgage options for clients. I even look for leads on people interested in buying a home. I might even touch base with clients in the evening.
I’m still working from home, I am just accomplishing different tasks. I feel a great sense of accomplishment spending a few hours working from home because I know I am improving my career and getting ahead.
So what ideas do you have for working at home?
