I have all the skills and attributes to make a home beautiful.

I enjoy working out and dieting as it tests ones discipline, self control and teaches one to work hard and to be patient in order to see results, which I feel has been a priceless attribute acquired and will transfer over to my real estate endeavours.My Experience With Real Estate (or lack-thereof)I have no real experience thus far except for everything that I've read, heard and watched.
