The Real Struggles of Being a Real Estate Agent
The hardest part about being a real estate agent isn’t the paperwork or the prospecting or the long hours. It’s keeping yourself together when nothing seems to be going right. When the deals fall apart, the clients go silent, and the closings are few and far between, that’s when the real mental work begins.
