π¬β¨ Realtor Life Story β Chapter 14 β¨π‘
Itβs Tuesdayβ¦ and here comes Chapter 14 of my Realtor Life series.
I think the way real estate agents have often portrayed themselves especially in Social Media has created an image that Realtors spend their days in high heels, perfect makeup, designer outfits, and glamorous photo shoots. β¨πΈ
And if that works for those agents, that's wonderful. β€οΈ
But my story is totally different. π‘
My day isn't about driving around in a fancy car with lipstick and high heels. ππ
It's about running from one appointment to another, eating lunch in my car, returning phone calls between meetings, and trying to squeeze in one more showing because my buyer just found another house they want to see. πββοΈππ
Makeup?
That's extra time I honestly don't have. πβ°
Most days I barely make it out the door while juggling phone calls, texts, emails, and putting out fires before my first appointment. π±π₯
High heels?
Heels??? π β
I do site visits. I walk through construction sites. I inspect crawl spaces. I climb into attics. I walk through muddy backyards and undeveloped land. ποΈπ³π·ββοΈ
I am an active realtor. High heels aren't going to make me faster or better at my job. πͺ
So I settled for flats, boots, and sneakers. ππ₯Ύ
Styling my hair?
That's another 15 or 20 minutes I would rather troubleshoot an issue or spend researching a property, preparing for a listing appointment, or reviewing market data for a client. ππ‘
So most days, you get my natural hair fluffed with hand while I am getting out the door speaking on my phone.. HA HA! ππ
Short skirts?
Not during showings. π«
When I show a house, I inspect it. ππ
I check the attic.
I look inside sheds.
I peek into crawl spaces.
I test things.
I investigate. π§
How am I efficiently doing that wearing something like this?? π
And I have often wondered those perfectly dressed Realtors do they also manage to climb into dusty attics and crawl spaces and still look like they just stepped out of a fashion magazine? π€β¨
Nail appointments?
That's one or two hours .. Too much time to waste and being unproductive. I could be spending preparing a listing, researching a neighborhood, analyzing pricing, or helping a client negotiate a better deal. π
β‘οΈπ‘
So my nails remain simple. β€οΈ
Over the years, I've been told many times that Realtors should look glamorous and polished all the time. β¨
Maybe that's true for some and maybe that's their priority.
And Real estate is my priority! π‘β€οΈ
And the best part?
I've never had one single client care about any of those things. π
What they care about is I answer the phone at any hours. π
I show up and never make an excuse. π€
I solve their problems without them worrying about it. π οΈ
I negotiate fiercely on their behalf to get them the best deal. πͺπ°
They see the effort in helping them... Not my makeup πβ
They see the preparation.... not my nails π
β
They see me going above and beyond... overlooking my casual attire β€οΈ
They see me helping them achieve their real estate dreams... Not the shoes. π
And that's what matters. β¨
I have never felt pressured to become the "fancy Realtor."
Because I believe real relationships are built through authenticity, not appearances. β€οΈ
My clients get the real Tania. πΈ
No fluff... No pretenses.
Just genuine care and relentless dedication. π―
And honestly, that's how I like it.
Because when there's no effort spent trying to impress people, there's more time spent helping them and you create the relationships that remain. π€
And that's why, after all these years, I still love what I do. π‘β€οΈ
It's a responsibility.
A privilege.
And a blessing. π
And if all of that comes with my natural, non-glamorous look...
I'll gladly take it. π
Because I don't need to be the fanciest Realtor.
I'm perfectly happy being known as **"The Most Loved Realtor."** β€οΈπ‘
