In this episode, I grappled with a question that's been weighing on me for months: how do I continue doing my job as a real estate agent when the world feels chaotic and making social media posts about listings seems tone-deaf? 

After sitting with these difficult questions, I've realized that what I can control is showing up with kindness and compassion for my clients - not just as "Sumina Realtor" but as a human being. People appreciate this humanness, especially during emotionally charged times like buying or selling a home. 

Real estate transactions often happen during life's big moments - marriages, divorces, deaths, job losses, relocations. There's no replacement for simply caring and being present rather than maintaining "positive vibes only." 

I encourage fellow agents to acknowledge that we're living in complicated times, recognize that we have specific skillsets that can really help people, and find ways to give back - whether mentoring other agents or contributing to causes that matter to us.

When the world feels chaotic, our ability to show up with groundedness and compassion for clients making major life transitions is exactly why this work matters.
