A client had something sitting on their desk for 2 weeks and emails us urgently asking for it to be done today. Told the partner I have 4 closings and he told me to “find the time”. Do partners and clients just get off from this sort of thing?

I love how some partners always get on you about communicating capacity when you might miss a deadline yet their solution is just “make it work.”

As realtors, our worst and best friend are the contractors, being friends with the contractor that remodelled a home you are going to sell is a plus because you can know for sure what kind of improvements were made to the house and why; and what kind of things are pending to be improved, that way you can provide real information to the client. You know what they say: a happy client always comes back to you.

1st year, started a month ago. When do I start really looking for work? Pretty slow (a couple hours a day) around here and I want to know how long I can coast before I have to get serious about looking for work. I do let partners know I’m available but should I reach out to other offices/when? (Transactional)

High expectations from family, friends and myself. Always been extremely ambitious and a high achiever, and now a V10 associate. Inherited two NYC mortgage-free condos that give me 5k a month.

I feel burnt out and that I haven’t been genuine. I do many (60+) hours of work weekly for the benefit of the few. Considering going into politics or public administration, scared I will be looked down upon and considered unsuccessful by my peers. Never been this insecure and anxious in my life. Help!
