In 1998 I had a record-breaking number of closings and found out I was the top agent (for sales and total volume) in Kenosha County. That was pretty amazing -- and I held that position until the end of 2009 when the market took a U-turn. Climbing back up the ladder is alot harder now, but I can't honestly say "I have made it!" because there are other agents in other areas of the country who have done so much more!

Gosh, I can't really say that I've ever thought, muchless said that, William!
The best feeling I have in the business is when I get a call from someone who has been referred from clients (current or past) or when they leave an unsolicitated online review.
Those are the 'aww' moments for me!

I have had a few of those moments, but life has a way of keeping you humble. The most notable was getting a call from the Wall Street Journal for an interview as a mortgage expert. The irony is that it was right before the mortgage industry meltdown, hence the "life keeping you humble" part. I left the mortgage business shortly thereafter.

One moment.
I'm sorry but I've got to do two.
I fought hard for this single woman to acquire a condo. Able to pay cash. It is the only wealth she possesses. Every time I talk here OUT of leveraging her only collateral, I feel I have made it.
#2. At a local festival a stranger standing behind overheard my conversation. She interrupted to say, "You are the voice on the website!" That brought a smile and a feeling of relevance.

Can't say I ever felt that way in business because one never knew where the NEXT transaction was coming from. I know when I opened my own office, I felt a sense of liberation. This might sound corny but any feeling of "making it" was related to marrying my husband. My greatest "sale" ever!

Not sure "I've made it" would be he correct terminology, but in my first year as an agent I made the "Million Dollar Club." It was then I knew I would continue to be successful if I worked hard helping people realize their dream of home ownership.

There was a time when I thought there could be a defining moment but now through example I find that making it is too subjective and often fleeting. I let others discern whether "I have made it" or not .
