‼️Warning: Long, but worth reading post‼️
Want me to spill some tea?!? 🫖
I recently got fired by a client.
And honestly, I’ve gone back and forth on whether to share this story but I think it highlights something most people never see about real estate.
A lot of people believe Realtors make “easy money.” That we unlock a few doors, write a contract, collect a commission, and move on.
I wish more people understood what happens behind the scenes.
I recently worked with a client who started their home search in my area. Very quickly, that search expanded… and expanded… until we were looking at properties 2–4 hours away from me, in multiple parts of Georgia.
They were moving from out of state and had no real idea where they wanted to live.
Several times, I considered referring them to another agent closer to those areas. I even reached out to agents in those markets asking if they’d take the referral.
More than one told me no.
Why?
Because the clients were highly indecisive and didn’t know where they wanted to be.
But I stayed.
I tried to help.
I poured hours, days, weeks, and eventually months into working with them.
I called Realtor after Realtor coordinating virtual tours and walkthroughs.
I spent an entire weekend driving four hours one way, touring homes in six different cities, and video calling them through each property.
I spent part of my family vacation on the phone with them every single day, negotiating an offer and getting them under contract.
Then came inspections.
More negotiations.
More phone calls.
More emails.
More documents sent to lenders and attorneys.
And after all of that…
They decided the house needed too much work and terminated the contract.
I should have walked away then.
Truthfully, I knew it.
But by that point, I felt invested, not just professionally, but emotionally. I had already poured so much into helping them reach the finish line.
So we continued.
I tried setting better boundaries. I tried establishing clearer expectations.
And then one day, I received an email requesting termination of my services.
Just like that, it was over.
Do you know how much I made for the hours, days, weeks, and months I spent working for them?
Nothing.
Not a dollar.
Actually, if we’re being real, it cost me money.
Between travel, gas, time away from my family, and business expenses, I estimate I lost around $1,000 working with these clients.
That’s the part people don’t talk about.
In real estate, we work on contingency.
That means we often invest enormous amounts of time, money, energy, emotional labor, market knowledge, negotiation skill, and personal sacrifice, with absolutely no guarantee of ever getting paid.
Sometimes we work for months for free.
Sometimes we lose money.
Sometimes we get fired.
And then we get told Realtors make too much.
This post isn’t for sympathy.
It’s simply perspective.
Because behind every closing you see posted online are countless unseen hours: showings, calls, negotiations, research, paperwork, problem-solving, and stress.
Realtors don’t get paid for effort, we get paid for outcomes.
And real estate is one of the few professions where you can do everything right, pour in endless hours, give everything you have, and still walk away with nothing.
