When Clients Are Unhappy in Real Estate

Every agent eventually faces the dreaded moment: an unhappy client. Whether it's frustration over repairs, losing in multiple offers, or parents chiming in with harsh opinions—this episode is your playbook for navigating client dissatisfaction with professionalism and heart.

Alissa and Katy share real stories and actionable advice on how to set expectations, de-escalate emotions, and even turn conflict into client loyalty.

- Common reasons real estate clients get upset
- Why communication and clear expectations are everything
