Steve D Valentine reflects on his personal experience entering real estate and how the industry's culture has changed. He says he has held a license for 24 years ("24 years ago next month") and that he got into real estate at age 12 with his father. He recalls a formerly secretive, competitive office culture ("folder on your desk") and contrasts that with a modern, more open, collaborative approach focused on sharing knowledge and making a positive impact toward newcomers.

24 years ("24 years ago next month").

Age 12 ("since I was 12 when I got into it with my dad").

Here's the deal. When I got in the business 24 years ago next month, that's how long I've had my license. Since I was 12 when I got into it with my dad. And we were realty executives. Nobody shared anything. Everything reminded me of being in second grade. And you had your folder on your desk. You want anybody seeing anything you were doing, like it was a secret. And now the industry has shifted where all these guys, we're all wanting to make the greatest possible impact on more people, as you guys are new and you're learning from us.
