Realtors...A Day In The Life Of!

By
Real Estate Agent with Lisa Von Domek Team TX License #0552989

Many wonder what the day in a life is like for a Dallas area Realtor®...okay, maybe not "many", but surely - some? 

 

 

 

Seriously, though, a real estate professional's life is much the same as any busy business professional.  We all have to manage juggling multiple tasks to a successful fruition.  Every morning we wake up and face our to-do list (written or otherwise) with a few what-ifs sprinkled in.  Time management is a key component to a day ending with a smile and not a frown (or worse). 

Our negotiating and contract skills are on demand constantly and we practice patience at a transcendental level as we have been known to manage wildlife, unleashed pets and the occasional screaming toddler.

On any given day or during any given week, we are:

  • Touring properties
  • Negotiating offers
  • Managing inspections
  • Attending meetings
  • Uploading marketing information
  • Researching market reports
  • Coordinating photo shoots
  • Teaching or attending a class
  • Blogging on ActiveRain (!)

Needless to say, this list only represents a small portion of our duties but I have to
stop the list somewhere (lol) 

 

 

Suffice it to say, there are no two days...two weeks...two months or anytime that is ever the same in the day of a real estate professional.  And although it may be frustrating, it makes for a very lively and rewarding profession and I am so pleased to be in the crazy world of real estate!

Dear Lisa,

The variety of tasks in our daily lives is one of the benefits in my opinion. Never a boring or dull day. If there is one, it will shortly be interrupted by something more exiting.

Lisa I certainly want to know what a "day in a life is like for a Dallas area Realtor®".  In fact I was holding my breath all the way through the blog
