After being apart for so long, it’s really, really nice to be around people again. For many of us in the U.S., Covid restrictions have been loosened for a while now—but the novelty of it still hasn’t quite worn off for me. Sitting in a coffee shop to write this blog, for instance, still feels [...]
Administrative assistants are the unsung heroes of the real estate industry. Of every industry, really. Without assistants, there would be too many missed appointments, too much misplaced paperwork, and absolutely zero order to the day. Every business would be forever stunted, unable to grow without the organizational savvy and unfaltering proficiency of these individuals. They [...]
Do you have a vacation planned for this summer? I sure hope so. Whether it’s a weekend getaway to the mountains or a 7-day stay at the beach, taking time off from work to relax, recharge, and have some fun is oh so important. […]

I’m assuming, based on your career choice, that you are a “people person.” Because real estate isn’t just about selling houses and negotiating offers—it’s about helping people. If you don’t care about your clients—if you don’t have their back throughout the entire transaction and maintain a relationship long after closing—you’re not going to last more [...]
It’s really hard to be “on” all the time. We’re not machines, there’s no power switch, and we have very human reactions to all different kinds of stimuli.
