Category: Get Real

My high schooler recently shared a conversation with me she had with a new friend. My job as a real estate & mortgage broker came up somehow and the new friend said, “oh, so you guys are rich!”

Why did her friend assume we were rich? I can’t help but assume that she’s like most teenagers these days and consumes nearly all of her information about the world through social media. And what do you see about real estate on social media? Agents posing as these larger than life personas, masquerading through multi-million dollar listings (insider tip…most of those posts are tricking you into thinking the luxury listing is theirs, but its not), ultimately exuding an image that they are successful and rich all of the time.

My daughter said she kind of chuckled to herself, because she knows all too well the highs and lows of being in a real estate family. And there have been more lows than highs lately, but y’all don’t see that on social media. Most only post the highs, but my daughter knows the struggle is real in this feast or famine industry.

I don’t share this to get your pity. I share this to get real with you! That’s what these reels are all about; to cut through the hype & talk about the real deal in real estate. If that sounds like a refreshing take, keep following me for more content like this.
