I spent years playing a character just to sell real estate.
When I first started out, I was constantly told I looked too young or asked how much experience I actually had. It terrified me.
So, I put on armour. I changed how I dressed, toned down my demeanour, and repressed my true personality. I thought it was working.
But it came with a cost.
Clients would meet me in person and say: “Wow, you’re so different in person! On your videos you just seem all about work.”
It was meant as a compliment, but it hurt. It was proof that fear was forcing me to hide who I actually was.
Whenever my videographer or other agents told me to show more of my personal side online, my immediate defence mechanism was always: “Who cares? I’m boring. I just work a lot.”
But “who cares?” was just a shield. I was just terrified of putting my real self out there.
I got into real estate to build something as myself.
Moving forward, the armour comes down. It might be a slow start, and it’s definitely going to feel uncomfortable, but I’m actively working on showing up as the real me. ❤️
