So one of the best things about being a Realtor is that I have the freedom to create my schedule. Nothing beats being the master of my own time. I don't need to adhere to strict 9-5 schedules or have that strict time-in and time-out in a specific office. I can do my work anytime and place and reach out to my clients whenever they need me.

And most people see it this way. If I don't want to work on a Saturday, I can say, "You know what, I'm going to write this day off and enjoy my Saturday!"

But, that's not entirely true. Most of the time. Here's what I mean.

Give and Take

Much of my schedule is worked around my client's schedule. As a Realtor, one of my main jobs is always being
available for my clients and serving their needs. And that means I have to create and move my schedule so that my time and clients' time will carefully fit.

In other words, the freedom to create my schedule doesn't mean more free time for me. So, suppose my clients are coming from Timbuktu and want to see five homes on that same Saturday. Well, I'm going to clear up my schedule so I can see those homes with them.

Another thing is that I also have to be constantly looking for clients myself if things are a little bit slower. Closing a deal is a long and arduous process. And as a Realtor, I must be proactive and careful with my resources. I may have completed a sale this month, but my following income will probably take another three to four months.

A Realtor's Calendar is of utmost importance and should always be flexible enough to accommodate my clients'
time first. So, when it comes to my job, it is a constant give-and-take process. I have to both prioritize my schedule and, at the same time, prioritize the needs of my clients.

The Delicate Balance

I'll be honest. Balancing the things I want to do and working and being available for my clients all the time is hard. Sometimes, I find my calendar jam-packed, which could be overwhelming at some point. It’s not all rainbows and butterflies; it entails a lot of work and patience.

But, it's those things that I've had to personally look inside, take careful steps, and create some boundaries
between my work and my life to make everything work. This way, I'll still be able to have a life I enjoy while giving my clients the best parts of myself. And that sense of deep fulfillment is why I love to be a Realtor here at Loft Realty.
