Agent Advice: Mental health tips for real estate success
If you can find strategies that work for you to help you minimise stress, then it will not only make you a happier person, it will make you a better spouse, parent, leader, employer, sibling and a better real estate agent.
Real estate is a brilliant business to be in. There is always demand for our services, we generally don't have to chase late payment of invoices, there are very few barriers to entry and we get paid well for what we do!
It's a career that offers freedom, variety and connection. But success can be addictive. The first time we sell five houses in a month, we feel like a rock-star.
