294: Surviving Realtor Burnout


Listen Later

Ever feel like your brain is full, your phone is ringing non-stop, and your sellers are melting down on the daily? Same.

In this episode, we're getting personal and cracking open a topic that's been coming up a lot lately: burnout. Whether you're overwhelmed by anxious sellers, stressed by a tough market, or just flat-out exhausted after years of nonstop hustle—this one is for YOU.

We're diving into the real reasons Realtors are burning out and the honest conversations we need to be having with ourselves and our clients. We even share stories from our own community, including one brave agent who left her phone behind for an entire week on vacation (spoiler: she survived and felt amazing).

If you've ever said, "I can't take a day off," we're challenging you to think again.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The surprising causes of burnout in today's market

  • How anxious sellers and high resistance are zapping your energy

  • Why more listings ≠ more peace of mind

  • How to communicate your boundaries with clients

  • Tips for taking real time off (yes, even without your phone!)

  • Why communication is a burnout cure

  • How to mentally reset when you've hit your limit

This episode is your permission slip to take a breath, set boundaries, and rework your mindset so you can keep going without sacrificing your sanity.

And remember, if you're feeling this way—you are not alone.

Key Quotes/Takeaways:
  1. "The market is tough, so I have to be tough." – Katy

  2. "Most of our burnout isn't from clients—it's from our own habits." – Alissa

  3. "You only need ONE buyer. You can only sell ONE time." – Alissa

  4. "Taking a break isn't going to ruin your business. It might save it." – Katy

  5. "Just because you feel the rain doesn't mean you have to drink it." – James Clear
