I fell on this path by accident. I started hacking when I was young. I always loved tech and programming. Between 18-20 I went through two jobs as a software developer while still going to school but this was circa 2000 and the market tanked. I got into real estate because I didn't want to depend on someone else to give me a job. Along the way realized I hated doing real estate sales everyday and the technology really annoyed me so now I'm creating the software I always wish I had as an agent. If it weren't for the experience of being an agent I would have never understood the pain.
