Happy, young couples with big smiles. And even though they work as a dog walker and an under-water basket weaving instructor, they have endless budgets. Everything feels exciting, hopeful, and is neatly wrapped in a bow by the end of the episode. Lol well, that usually ain’t it.
A huge number of real estate transactions start with grief. With divorce. With financial pressure. With families trying to make decisions during some of the hardest moments of their lives. Deaths. Bankruptcies. Siblings that don’t talk. You get the idea.
I bring a lot of technical knowledge to the table, as a broker and as an attorney, and that’s great, but none of that exists in a vacuum. Real estate is the business of people. And people are emotional.You have to be skillful in reading the room, understanding whatโs really driving decisions, and knowing when to slow things down versus when to push forward. You have to know when to be firm, and who needs a hug and a dozen donuts.
No TV show ever really captures that part of it. So maybe this blog post isn’t so technically educational, but just acknowledging the emotional side of it all- and that really matters too.
