Losing the listing doesn't make you any less of an Estate Agent

  You go on a free val that you 100% know will list because you have spent ages with the vendor at a viewing, only somehow not get the signed agency agreement. And some listings that you never believe in a month of Sundays you will get, just fall right into your lap. You can do everything right as an Estate Agent and still not win. You can c*ck things up from start to end at the free val and still somehow get the signed agency agreement . Estate Agency is an emotional rollercoaster of really good highs and really deep lows as you gte 4 listings on the trot, yet lose the fifth and its like a dagger through the heart Yet does it have to be that way?   We seem to judge on ourselves on the listing Yet I have seen the best Estate Agents, the happiest Estate Agents detach from the outcome of the free val.

If you only are looking for a quick win, the short cut to getting more landlords & vendors, don’t put your energy into blogging.  Blogging is very much a marathon, not a sprint and it will provide you the rewards of landlords and vendors giving you their property to seek and let if you give value on your blog albeit exercised with 🪣  loads patience and persistence.
