When I was new, I think I was. But, more for the "wow, I did It!" factor than the $$$, because I was working 2 jobs back them, I wasn't driven by the money as a primary thrill.

But, I've learned to be excited it through my client's enthusiasm & joy. I love that "here's your keys" moment. But, I know it's my clients joy that brings me my joy now...the commission checks are nice too. Honestly, one of my biggest joys is dinner with my clients weeks later in the house I sold them, now all furnished & decorated. They have so much fun showing off what they did to the place.

Both. To my client it's a new beginging and usually a life change. To me it's the satisfaction of job well done and a happy customer. It's also a pay day although I seldom think about the money until I see it on the closing statement.

My excitement is derived from knowing how great the celebration will be if I do an exceptional job as their wing-man.

They may never know the calamities averted, but when I see their radiating faces..."I KNOW."

We do this many, many, many times a year. It is what we 'MAKE."
