We, real estate agents, are either very busy or don't know what to do with ourselves. But if we plan it right, we should be busy all the time with time to spare to spend with our family and friends.
No matter how we got to this career, we all have to do the same thing. Identify a buyer, Identify a seller and match buyers with sellers and close a transaction.
But what happens when there are too many buyers who cannot make up their mind because the market is too slow. Or what happens when you have sellers who are just waiting for for the right buyer, or in other words for the buyer who wants to give them the right price for their real estate property. You are in a wait state. But are you really in a wait state? Whether you are in a wait state or in a busy state, you should be able to manage your time.
