Being a top-tier listings real estate agent comes with a certain intensity. These professionals often find themselves caught up in a whirlwind of activity, sometimes at the cost of spending quality time with their own families. As their success grows, so does their workload.
While some attempt to set boundaries and allocate precious moments for family, the constant buzz of their mobile phones, a lifeline to their thriving business, remains ever-present. Even during market downturns, their phones ring persistently, as vendors, seeking reliability, turn to proven agents with established track records.
In contrast, less successful or newer agents may find themselves struggling to secure clients, resorting to door-knocking with limited success. In downturns, the disparity becomes more pronounced, with successful agents maintaining their momentum while others are forced to consider second jobs or exit the industry altogether.
