It Is Achievable After All....

Dear Diary,

Today is the first day of my real estate course with the agency. I got up early, in fact I got up too early. I couldn't sleep last night. I shut my eyes and I tried to shut my brain too but it didn't work. I probably fell asleep at three in the morning. I guess the anxiety kept me awake. I woke up at six and I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't. For the past few days, I have been experiencing difficulties to doze off. I do not know what is wrong with me. Most of the times I went to bed as early as eleven in the evening but only ended up dozing at two in the morning.

Diary, the theory lessons today were interesting. We studied Property Law in the morning and Procedures of Selling and Rental of Private Properties in Singapore in the afternoon. All these while whenever I surfed the top most property websites in Singapore and read about senior agents in the market making a hundred thousand in Singapore dollars a month, I was sceptical. I wondered to myself if the news were real. Today, I realised that the news are real because private properties in Singapore cost nine hundred thousand and above. There are five different types of bungalows here with the most exclusive and expensive costing tens of millions of dollars. It is not surprising because land is very scarce in Singapore. With two percent as the commission for every transaction made, and if an agent closes three to five cases a month, it is possible to achieve fifty thousand dollars as commission. Nevertheless, it is not as easy as it sounds. It is achievable but not without very hard and smart work.

I have not decided if I want to specialise in private or HDB. But I think I would go for HDB first. I am not hoping for anything right now Diary. All I want to do is to finish the course, attend as many talks on career development in property, learn from the experts, start my hands on training and do good in this industry. I am not looking for tens of thousands of dollars as commission but I want to be the best in this industry. *winks*

My course starts at 930am and ends at 930pm tomorrow Diary....I do not think I can write to you tomorrow. So you take good care of yourself ok. Bye for now.
