A Rookie Real Estate Agent Belief System: . ➡️

A Rookie Real Estate Agent Belief System:
.
➡️I need to work 24/7
.
➡️I have to accept every client
.
➡️The other agents are my enemies
.
➡️Every human I meet is a possible paycheck
.
A SEASONED REAL ESTATE AGENT BELIEF SYSTEM:
.
➡️Setting office hours & creating a defined shut-off time is essential
.
➡️It’s okay to not accept every person that needs an agent. Some people are so demanding, demeaning & rude that no paycheck is worth it.
.
➡️The other agent is working towards the same goal: closing table. By viewing them as the enemy, you’re creating unnecessary hurdles.
.
➡️Every human I meet is a human. End of story. They deserve to be valued, treated, & respected as a human- not a means to a lead or a paycheck.
.
.
If you’re new & you’re knee-deep in that “gotta hustle” and desperate for leads, evaluate your belief system.
.
.
If you’re a seasoned agent, what would YOU add to those belief systems?

How it all started...FLIP 1.
.
I don’t talk a lot about this one. I didn’t really take pictures of it. I didn’t intend to flip it.
.
I barely scraped together enough money to buy this $75,000 fixer upper...with no clue what I was doing.

Whew, but am I grateful for this house. And not just the financial impact it had on my life.

This house was therapy for me. I was emerging from my 20s— which were NOT kind to me. I was broke. I was drowning in debt. I was still completely raw from the most horrendous break-up I’ve ever experienced. I had no confidence.
.
But this house- it changed me.

I spent my nights alone busting up tile. I learned to live with nothing. I discovered my strength, my talent— and my passion.
.
In the 2 years I lived there, this house breathed life into me. When I look back at my life— in a totally different & better place now— I’m grateful for how the dominos have fallen. I’m still stunned how quickly my life took off.
.
So all that to say- if you’re in the belly of the beast right now with no hope of it getting better:
.
➡️IT GETS BETTER⬅️

So I’m now a renter.
.
😳I’m a real estate investor that rents.

Not what most investors do, admittedly. But I have good reasons for it!

Not only am I sharing what those reasons are, but I’m sharing the 5 things that were on my wish list for a rental.

And SPOILER: I got all 5!

.
If I had a dime for every time I’ve uttered those words the last year my new house would be paid for...especially during this custom home building journey.
.
We were SUPPOSED to break ground in November. It’s January. Not a single bit of dirt has been moved 🤦‍♀️.
.
When you buy a spec house, you’re blissfully unaware of the numerous hurdles it took to get to the breaking ground process.
.
Many of the delays are outside my control (except that 2 week delay where I couldn’t decide where I wanted a door 😬).
.
BUT we finally have clearance to break ground, & we’re now shooting for the beginning of February!
.
.
➡️Psst- if you love the rendering & inspiration for my house, be sure to tap that ❤️!

I did something I’ve never done before:
.
This week I went an entire day without checking my email.
.
That may not sound like a big deal— but in this industry it is!
.
As an agent, it’s easy to work 24/7. It’s tempting to ALWAYS be available. It’s scary to be inaccessible. We are constantly on our phones texting another agent, speaking with our clients or responding to an email.
.
Our livelihoods depend on us being there for our clients.
.
But a staggering 87% (😳) of real estate agents fail & leave the profession in the first 5 years.
.
There are a lot of factors that contribute to that stat, but burnout is one. I respect the hustle mentality. I won’t ever fault an agent for working.
.
But just a reminder: YOU & I ARE HUMANS. If we don’t prioritize a work-life balance, it won’t ever happen!
.
.
Spoiler: The world didn’t end because I responded 24 hours later to my emails.

Are you one of the thousands of homeowners thinkin

Are you one of the thousands of homeowners thinking about selling in 2021? Well, let me state the obvious:
.
➡️➡️2020 Changed the rules of the game.
.
Not only did how buyers shop for homes change, or how we market & close properties change— but HOW a seller is supposed to prep a home to sell drastically changed...and it set the tone for 2021.
.
🤔So what changed? Yes, your home will sell fast if priced right. That has NOT changed. But what buyers are expecting of sellers HAS changed.
.
.
➡️I’m breaking it all down for you guys in my latest Homes.com post. Sold a house before? Yeah, the rules of the game have changed since the last time!
.
Hop over to the link in my bio to see what’s changed and how you can effectively prep your home to sell in 2021 (the 2nd one is now a staple in all of my listings!).
.
🚨ATTN AGENTS: This is a great free resource for you to use in your business!
