To the Estate Agent who is tired today
Most people will never truly get your world.
They will see the sold boards and assume the job is easy and the £££££ even easier
They will never see the moments you sit in your car after a tough val wondering what you could have done differently.
They will never feel the sting of losing a listing to a cheaper fee, knowing deep down the homeowner will pay for it later.
They will never know the stress of a late night call from a seller who is terrified their buyer might pull out.
They will never feel the weight of a whole chain hanging on one delayed signature.
They will never understand how emotionally draining it is to be calm for everyone else while your own life is hectic.
They will never see the evenings you cancel plans just to keep a deal alive.
They will never understand how it feels when a solicitor goes silent for ten days.
They will never see the fear behind the vendor who thinks their life is on pause until the keys are handed over.
They will never hear the frustration in a buyer’s voice when interest rates change overnight.
But you do.
You hold all of that with patience.
You stay professional when others lose their heads.
You keep moving forward when others would step back.
You are the glue that keeps people moving.
So yes it is bl**ddy hard.
Yes, it is f**kin’ exhuasting.
But please remember this.
Every move you manage, every deal you protect, every family you help, changes someones life for the better.
That is worth more than they will ever know
