Full-Time Realtor, Amateur Therapist

Home is Where the Heart Is

One of the surprising parts of the real estate industry is how often we as real estate agents play the role of therapist.

People are making major life decisions involving a lot of money, and that can cause conflict and strong emotions. For example, maybe Mom has passed away and it’s time for you and your siblings to sell the house. One sibling wants to hold out for more money, while the others are just glad to move on. Sometimes it’s couple’s therapy, where she wants a house in the country but he wants a shorter commute. These conflicts can reveal more deep-seated concerns—money issues, trust issues, and quality of life disagreements, just to name a few.

As we come off an election year and an ongoing pandemic, with all the related side effects and conflicts from both, many people I speak with are noticeably anxious and agitated in a greater sense than they might be in otherwise.

While I do everything I can to support my clients, I want to speak plainly to you as a friend: seek out professional help if you are feeling anxious, depressed, or are experiencing discord in your relationships. If you need assistance in finding support, give me a call as I sincerely care about each of you and don’t want my clients and friends to struggle. (509)540-5027
