Summary

Join us today as we ask ourselves a very important question to check the pulse of our business…If you hired yourself as a client, would you fire yourself? It's time for a candid end-of-year accountability check. In this episode, we dive into the hard questions you need to ask yourself as a real estate agent.

From communication missteps to lack of follow-through, we share stories and practical advice to help you own your mistakes, fix them, and move forward stronger. Alissa opens up about a tough situation where she dropped the ball and had to face her clients honestly. We also talk about why the only way to feel better after a mistake is to take action.

You’ll learn:

Why avoiding difficult conversations makes things worse.
How to handle mistakes without damaging your reputation.
The importance of transparent communication with your clients.
Why contracts should never be a “gotcha” moment.
Practical ways to keep yourself accountable and improve your systems.

We also explore why being a good co-op agent, setting boundaries, and following through on commitments are essential to long-term success in real estate. Plus, stick around for a fun segment on how different Enneagram types might get fired—don’t worry, it’s all in good fun!
