Pressure:A lead reached out through a Facebook ad for a condo, and I felt pressure to make contact and schedule a showing, but we’ve been playing phone tag. Thought:“I need to follow up without being pushy.” Feeling:A little frustrated, but patient. Action:I continued brief, friendly follow-ups by text and phone. Result:We haven’t connected yet, but I’ve kept the conversation open and responsive.

Pressure:I had several work tasks that needed to get done, but I hadn’t taken a full day off in over a week and knew I’d be working through the weekend with open houses. My energy was dropping and I could feel my battery running low. Thought:“How can I make this happen? How can I give myself a full day off to recharge so I can show up well for the weekend?” Feeling:Overwhelmed, but also proactive and solution-focused. Action:Reviewed my schedule, prioritized what truly needed to be done, delegated or postponed the rest, and intentionally blocked off a full day to rest and reset. Result:I recharged, ready for my open houses

Pressure:I felt pressure to get Candice to agree to a date for a listing appointment so we could keep the process moving and not lose momentum. Thought:“What can I tell her that will motivate her to commit to a date?”

Pressure:I needed to help the seller understand the logic of putting E. Wheeling on the market this weekend and keep the timeline moving. Thought:“How would she react if I just told her the photos were scheduled for Wednesday?” Feeling:Anxious, and aware I needed to stay transparent. Action:I slowed down and had a clear conversation about the strategy and timing instead of pushing the plan forward without alignment. Result:We stayed aligned, preserved trust, and kept the timeline moving.

Pressure:My condo listing has been on the market for three weeks and we haven’t secured a buyer yet. With several competing units on the market, I could feel the urgency building to generate more activity. Thought:“I need to go old school and proactively call people in my sphere and agents in the area to make sure everyone knows about this condo.”
