Everything that goes wrong in this business. One at a time.

Money and the fee5

• They asked me to cut my commission. I did.
• I proved my fee was worth it and still lost the listing.
• Nobody asked for a discount. I offered one anyway.
• Same GCI. More work. Year after year.
• I close deals in bunches and then panic.

Buyers and sellers who won't decide5

• Nine showings. Then the buyer ghosted me.
• They trusted me enough to talk. Not enough to hire me.
• The seller wants a price that won't sell.
• The inspection killed a deal that was fine.
• The financing problem I found out about too late.

The listing I didn't get4

• I walked out of the presentation feeling good. They signed with another agent.
• I lost the listing to an agent who knew less than I did.
• I nailed the listing appointment. Then they ghosted me.
• My listing expired. Another agent got the relist.

Pipeline and prospecting5

• I keep buying leads. My pipeline still feels empty.
• Twenty closings. Not one referral.
• I have the list. I still don't call.
• I followed up twice. Then I let the lead go cold.
• I did everything my coach told me. Nothing changed.

The cost nobody counts6

• I answered a client text at 9:34 PM. Again.
• My clients own my Sundays. My family does not.
• More showings. More texts. Less GCI.
• I can't say no to a client. My evenings are gone.
• I hit my number this month. I still feel behind.
• I'm a good agent. But I still feel the pressure.
