Someone recently asked me about when I got back into real estate. It has me reflecting a bit.
I had "taken a break" from real estate because I was unsure of myself and unsure of the market. I returned to being a full time Realtor in April of 2025.
I was scared to go back to real estate, relying on only commission is scary. I had been working an office job with full benefits. I'm a single mom with 2 kids. I have a mortgage to pay, health insurance to come up with, extracurricular activities for my daughter and university tuition for my son. I didn't know how I could make it happen. I only knew that I had to make it happen. I made a full decision to quit living small and to go after what I wanted. In my experience, all the best things in life are on the other side of fear.
So I went for it. I quit my job where I worked with amazing friends. I had very little savings. I knew that I'd have to be the kick ass Realtor I knew I could be. And I did.
Some days are frustrating, some are scary, and some days I'm still unsure of myself. But that's only some days. The majority of the days are fun, rewarding and successful.
I'm part of a great team that I love. I'm showing my kids that we can do hard things. And most of all, I'm reminding myself that I'm a badass.
