Another Venting Session LOL

Uuuugh! Today I took one of my buyers on a showing, found a house she loved, then found out she couldn't get it because I didn't have all of the info I should of had upfront. As a new agent, you don't want to keep saying you're a new agent & annoying people with that fact, but THIS is the exact reason why I keep telling people I am! I don't know what I'm supposed to ask my lender once I've given the info I have. I figured this is their department and they'd ask me what needs to be known. I don't know how to negotiate a deal, let alone price a house with all of the details that go into assessing the house features and all that! Idk all the types of counters & flooring, a "flag" lot, etc. Plus, I suck at math!

I'm learning as I go, sure, but it would help to have more guidance on the basics as I go. I get nervous and feel like I'm not as smart as I know I am because I start to babble once someone doesn't understand what I mean or feels I should already know something. 😡

It seems like most people have a mentality of they had to wing it & "fake it till they made it" so everyone else should too. Once I learn what I need to know, I'm going to create cheat sheets & helpful tips, questions you should ask each person you partner with during transactions, etc. to help new agents. It makes me want to give up at times!! I get it, I'm beating a dead horse with it, but the way I learn & function, this is hard for me. I can do trial by fire for most situations, but when I'm dealing with people's lives, their livelihoods, their futures, when I have no clue, I'm way more cautious & I care! (Case in point - I've edited this about four times 🤦‍♀️)

Idk I know one day I'll look back at my humble beginning & feel so cringe haahaa But, until then, RANT ON!! 🤣😂

Thanks for letting me rant lol Hope everyone is having a good week, a good night, and many blessings 🙏🥰😅
