Here’s my dirty Estate Agency secret:
Sometimes I didnt care...
I didnt care that your house means the world to you.
I didnt care that you’ve “put your heart & soul into relaying the parque floor.”
I didnt care that “your kids grew up here.”
Because after the 30th vendor this month who told me the same story, the words didn’t land anymore.
I did care about getting it sold, getting it sold for a decent price, looking at myself in the mirror that the fee I charged was worth it, getting you moved to the next chapter of your life, and getting myself out alive.
That is not heartless. That is survival.
Remember,
1. Care enough to help, yet detached enough to help effectively.
2. You can guide the ship without being swept away by the storm.
3. You dont need to feel everything to fix everything.
