In this episode, Karen and Courtney discuss:
- Success Story of Courtney
- Commit to Get Leads
o Don’t wait for “Mr. Right” or the right moment with all the stars aligned before investing in real estate. There is something for everyone, open your eyes and think outside of where you live.
o The psychology of buying property is the biggest hurdle for buyers and sellers. Understanding the emotions in the transaction can help your client through the process.
- Connect to Build and Grow
o Be involved. Find your voice. Have an impact.
- Success Thinking, Activities and Vision
o Self-care and stress maintenance are critical in real estate, as in most jobs. Don’t allow other people’s transition energy to destroy your balance.
