I’m tired of Real Estate social media. My feed is full of “Just Listed!” and “Just Closed!”, pictures of clients holding their agent’s sign at the lawyers office and smiling like a Proof of Life photo.
Don’t get me wrong; I love being a real estate broker. I love going to properties, running numbers on investments, staging and photographing, training new agents how to do the job. Mostly though, I love meeting people, getting to know them, helping them through their housing searches, becoming part of their lives.
And that’s what I want to talk about, what I want to see in my social feeds: people. Clients are at the center of this whole thing, the most important part, but the buyers and the sellers, the people in charge who matter most, they get shunted aside so that it all becomes about the brokers and the properties.
So this where I want to start. I want to talk about people, how we’re wired, our hopes and dreams and fears, our wants and needs, why we make the decisions we do. I want to talk about the emotions we go through when we’re buying and selling homes, negotiating, planning our kids new rooms, our new lives.
I’m going to be putting out more content focused on these points, and I’d really love to hear from anyone who resonates with these ideas.
I hope y’all come on this journey with me.
