Inside a Realtor’s Week: More Than Meets the Eye

Ever wondered what fills a realtor’s work week? Let me give you a peek behind the scenes.

Someone recently asked me how many hours I put in each week. It made me think. I usually hit around 40 hours, but I never go below 20. But here’s the thing—it’s not just about the hours; it’s about what I do with them.

You might think all realtors do is show houses. 

Nope. 

Actually, about 60-70% of my time is spent on something called “prospecting.” That means I’m out there knocking on doors, making calls, mingling at events, and following up with people. It’s a lot like what other salespeople do.

Now, you might be wondering, why choose this over a regular 9-5 job? Well, even though I have some flexibility, it’s the hard work that pays off. 

Would you rather spend less than 40 hours a week doing these things as a realtor, or sticking to a strict 9-5 schedule?

Food for thought, right?
