Providing excellent service & setting rules in 2026:
Turning a lifelong industry that allows agents to tolerate anything and everything. After over 10+ years in real estate, one thing I’ve learned is that Realtors wear many hats — negotiator, marketer, problem solver, counselor, scheduler, and sometimes even peacemaker.
I truly love helping people buy and sell homes, and I’m grateful for every client who trusts me during such an important time in their lives. But somewhere along the way, our industry normalized agents being available 24/7, accepting disrespect, being included in personal conflicts, and carrying emotional stress far beyond the transaction itself.
Being professional does not mean accepting unhealthy communication or losing all personal boundaries. Realtors are people too, with families, responsibilities, and lives outside of work.
Kindness, respect, and professionalism should go both ways in every business relationship.🤍
• Business hours for non-emergencies
• “Please keep communication related to the transaction”
• Refusing abusive language
• Using email for serious issues instead of emotional text chains
• Not responding immediately to chaos
Respectfully,
Greta Rabalais
