A DAY IN THE LIFE…

From the outside looking in, the life of a real estate agent may seem glamourous and carefree. The reality is much different.

As a real estate agent, you own and operate your own business. The responsibility is on your shoulders as to whether your business "makes it" or "breaks it." You make a sale, you get a paycheque. No sale, no paycheque. It's that simple.

Time management, planning and self-discipline are necessities. You work your schedule around those of your clientele. Weekend open houses and after-hours appointments are part of your normal work week.

You need to map out a balance for your personal and professional life. If you don't set out your priorities, you may easily fall into the trap of forgetting to make time for your family and friends. A seven-day work week is common in the real estate industry - especially for new agents.

That being said, there are many successful ways to run and efficient business while honouring your personal life.

Here is one example of a typical work week in the life of a successful agent. (Keep in mind that there are many other models for successful weeks.)
