What Stage 4 Cancer Taught Me About Real Estate w/ Julee Patterson | Episode 116


Listen Later

Six months ago, Julee Patterson, a top-producing agent, received a devastating diagnosis: a rare, aggressive, stage 4 cancer with less than a 5% five-year survival rate

Through this tragic news, she learned a powerful lesson about real estate: buying a home is obviously not life or death like battling cancer, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t deeply important. 

A real estate transaction is a big deal. It shapes families’ futures, security, and dreams. When we communicate with clients, especially delivering difficult news, it’s essential to do so with care, empathy, and respect. 

It might not be as devastating as a life-altering diagnosis, but clients deserve our full attention and compassion. 

How has she navigated her life and business through this challenging season? How do we learn to communicate with people going through tragic and traumatic experiences? 

In this episode, Julee shares how cancer reshaped her view of real estate, what not to say to someone facing a life-altering diagnosis, and how she built a team that could run without her when she couldn’t even walk.

 

I understand that real estate isn’t life or death, but it’s the biggest deal to our clients. How we talk to our clients when they’re buying their house matters. -Julee Patterson
