The Real Estate Market today is getting more challenging each day for us Realtors, but it is still a fulfilling career. Every day is a chance to help people during significant moments in their lives, like purchasing their first home or finding their dream homes a reality. My days are always new and ever-changing, giving me immense joy and fulfillment.

But, people still think that Realtors are thriving in these trying times. Whenever I tell someone that I am a Realtor, the first thing I hear is they think I must love this market. "You must be making a fortune in this market," they say.

That is simply not true. 

Let me show you what I mean, so keep reading.

Tough Times in a Realtor's Eyes

I will be honest: this market is difficult. It does not matter whether you are a seller, a buyer, or an agent; it is a challenging market. I am putting in an additional twenty (20) or more hours than I would have been working as a Realtor in a normal market. Why is that? Allow me to explain.

Before, I usually see maybe around ten (10) homes of the buyer. After that, I can create and then put in a compelling offer for the buyer to consider. Usually, the buyer would probably accept it on my first try.

Now, what’s happening is that I go to see more than twenty showings with each client. Then, I will try putting in around ten compelling offers or more for them to consider. After all that effort, approximately 10 of them get rejected. 

And if I am fortunate, my 11th offer is the one that will be accepted, finally. Moreover, that is all within an average of one to four months. It all depends, which means hard work and extra patience.

A Realtor's Passion

So, do I love this market? No, I don't. But, I still believe it is a great time to be a realtor. 

I love what I do simply because there is a lack of information that people have when it comes to purchasing a home. And as a Realtor, I want to be that first person they go to relieve any fears they have and carefully guide them through the process. 

In this way, I can help them see that buying a home (or selling it) can not be as scary or stressful as it may seem, especially with all the competition. And that brings a deep sense of fulfillment and makes me continue doing what I do.
