I had already decided to go back to Graduate School.
But I still needed money!
I knew that with a decade of only real estate experience that my job prospects were thin, and I was right.
No one was hiring!
Then I noticed a small discreet job ad on Craigslist for a Real Estate Broker Team Leader.
I immediately applied and interviewed for the position.
The company had a franchise team where the Broker was retiring and the team was in serious trouble.
Their culture was bad and they were a financial mess.
I was offered the job and agreed to take on this exciting challenge.
After my first couple of weeks in the office I realized that things were worse than I had thought.
The culture was cutthroat. Agents were not working as a Team.
