The Real Estate Agent’s Prescription for Sanity in 2025

In today's market, being a real estate agent often feels like juggling chainsaws while blindfolded. You're fielding Zillow estimates, unrealistic sellers, market crash theories, and clients who think their best friend from yoga class should be their Realtor.

Let’s be honest — sometimes you just want someone to hand you a prescription that cures the chaos. Good news: we’ve got one.

Here’s your no-nonsense, slightly sarcastic, but painfully accurate diagnosis and prescription for what’s really going on with your business.

Symptom: You flinch every time someone says "Zestimate"

Diagnosis: Chronic Z-estimate Fatigue
Prescription: A permanent mute button and the confidence to say,
“Online tools are cute, but let’s talk real comps.”

Symptom: Your listing has been sitting for 87 days… and counting

Diagnosis: Seller Price Denial Syndrome
Prescription: A frank conversation, a solid pricing strategy, and maybe a bottle of wine (for you, after the chat).

Symptom: Your BFF promised to “use you when the time comes”... 3 years ago

Diagnosis: Friendzone Agent Disorder
Prescription: Stop relying on your inner circle and build lead sources that don’t flake. (Spoiler: Instagram works when done right.)

Symptom: Everyone thinks the market’s going to crash... again

Diagnosis: Doomscroll-Induced Buyer Hesitation
Prescription: Educate your audience with facts over fear. Create content that reassures and reframes the narrative.

Symptom: You’re doing million-dollar service on a half-percent commission

Diagnosis: Undervaluation Syndrome
Prescription: Raise your rates. If you're delivering next-level value, your commission should reflect that. Period.

Symptom: Leads ghost you for weeks... until you finally go on vacation

Diagnosis: Out-of-Office Lead Activation Syndrome
Prescription: Embrace the chaos. Take the trip. Trust that the phone will start ringing the moment you unplug.

The Real Cure? Stop Chasing. Start Attracting.
