5 Tips for Achieving and Maintaining a Better Work-Life Balance

Compass on background.

A career in real estate is far beyond the traditional 9-to-5 office gig. You’re on the go morning, noon, night and on the weekends. With a schedule that revolves heavily around the lives of your clients, it may be hard to secure a steady work-life balance.

Below, professionals offer their tips on how to achieve and maintain a healthy relationship between life at home and at work.

Have a calendar and use it.
Real estate coach Tom Ferry lives by his calendar; in fact, he marks it up with everything from vacations to his son’s tennis matches.

“When you’re a born entrepreneur, work-life balance is a myth,” he says. “The reality is the two are one and the same—working, living, doing your thing…when everything is built into your calendar, it holds you accountable to achieve the life you want.”

Get comfortable saying ‘no.’
When you’re caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it’s easy to accept every invitation that comes your way.

“Take a moment before saying ‘yes’ to each invitation and make sure it…will serve you and your business goals well,” suggests empowerment consultant and speaker Debra Trappen.

Give yourself a personal day.
“Just because the housing market never sleeps, it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t,” says life coach Caleb Backe. He suggests setting aside at least one day a week to be your weekend.

“Find a day that typically has low client contact but works for your social life, and take the time to disconnect from work,” he says.

Find a work partner.
Licensed real estate salesperson Jenna McKay has spent many years working in New York City real estate. For a balanced life, she proposes partnering up with a business partner or team member who can absorb the work that can’t be delayed on your day off.

Don’t have one?

“Find an agent buddy who can take on a showing on your day off, and reciprocate,” says McKay.

Tackle multiple tasks at once.
“I try to go to the gym with my sister, so I’m able to get my workout in but also spend some quality time with her,” says Chelsey Paksi, Quicken Loans® team leader and entrepreneur. “If what you’re doing doesn’t serve you or those (you) love, you can probably cut it out of your life to save some time, energy and effort.”
