What Does A Realtor Even Do? A Realistic Week In The Life! 

Nextiva should really reconsider their branding, it’s giving pharmaceutical drug

Do you have a storage unit to keep all the staging furniture you buy? Do you return items? it feels like you have a lot of moving pieces. Also, do you have a car in Palm Springs and in Seattle? There is definitely a lot of coordination that goes into living away from where you work. You seem to handle it really well.

In the future, check how much the 'lost ticket' fee is, sometimes it's cheaper to just say you lost your ticket and pay that!

I am obsessed with the Palm Springs house!! We need an updated house tour now that it seems most of the decorating is done!! The green chairs with the olive tree and picture corner is so cute!!

Remember that sometimes we aren’t the right fit and that’s a blessing in disguise. You don’t want to work for a seller you don’t actually vibe well with. Could be more of a headache than it’s worth.

Monica , the week is one snapshot of your life. You are an amazing agent , one buyer that passes on you is not a negative. You are absolutely fantastic girl. Know and appreciate who you are. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

You are so relatable and so human!! I love that you show everything, good and bad. This is the type of video I love. The sunshine of life and the rain showers we all go through

I'm a Real Estate Broker in Los Angeles. Real Estate has so many ups and downs. Sometimes it's a literal roller coaster. But it all adds to your experience!

Monica! I think you have a great eye picking staging pieces, they really have that warm but translatable feel to them.

Thanks for showing us a behind-the-scenes week! It's crazy that all the difficulties happened at once, but on the plus side, all the good stuff comes right after!

loved this video! thanks for the professional/personal advise and being real about the frustration

There is so much more that we do as great real estate agents but I'm so glad you showed a little bit of the behind the scenes. I know you do a lot more than this as well so I hope people don't get the impression that all we do is staging, cleaning, and pressing send on a contract, cause that's not it at all! These are certainly the more glamorous parts of our job. Loved the video, Monica!

I’m a Realtor in Pittsburgh, PA & my best guess is the other agent cut her commission. Always seems to be the reason the client goes with someone else. They will most likely regret not paying the extra percentage for an agent who knows their worth! Keep up the good work!!

Love a hybrid moment! I work from home and it’s taken me so long to adjust to just working a few hours a day/on demand.

Nice work Monica! 👏👏👏👏 I wouldn’t know if I was fast-forwarding or rewinding 😉

So glad to see you happy & thriving ❤ God bless you 😇🌻

Omg! i love these videos i’m also studying for my real estate license so this is a great video to watch because I know being real estate is a lot of work but it’s so fun watching these videos it will get me prepared for when I’m actually going to work that field. 😊😌

A little weird comment but, this video gave me wonderful memories of my Mother. Her name was Terry Smith and she was a real estate agent, but unfortunately she passed away 12 years ago. I love the little random reminders I see on occasions, and I appreciate the name you chose! 😊❤

This is such a great video of a glimpse of a real estate agent! As someone who is also interested in pursuing this career, this video is very honest and helpful! I'm curious though, do you always have to buy new furnitures when you stage a house? Where do those furnitures go afterwards?

Are you and Jason no longer working together? I thought you had joined the same company a while back? Also do Realtors usually have to do the staging too?? I thought that was a separate thing entirely! This video was so good. I really enjoy seeing every aspect of the job and hearing your honest thoughts and feelings on it all! 💚

Your energy is infectious. Keep going woman!!! ❤

Such a good job Monica!

Just wanted to say I’m really proud of you, you work so hard & are so dedicated to your clients! You’re doing great ❤

Keep going Monica! Love your videos and what you are doing❤

I love seeing videos related to this.

Monica, what an amazing video. I had no idea that you did the staging, all by yourself. That is a lot of work! You should get the full price on that showing! Real Estate goes up and down. You are doing an excellent job! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Omg when I saw the parking fee 😮

I wonder how Ben and Julia would feel about you putting all their details, including their address online.

This was a super interesting video getting to see how crazy work can be for you as a realtor. Keep it up! 👍 😃

Just a question out of curiosity, for staging do the items stay in the house or do you keep them to reuse? Do you pay for all of that out of pocket? Is it a tax right off? And/or do you see some type of reimbursement from the house sale?

As an agent you do some things you don’t get paid for. And sometimes things just fall into your lap! Good video Monica! And you and Jason make a man awesome twosome❣️

The benefit of some time is you were able to make a video!! Loved to see it

I can definitely see how hard you work and how much you care! Such busy days and all over the place. Glad you have found your passion and you can still keep doing RU-vid as you choose.

As a business owner I feel this❤ it’s so hard when you care SO MUCH and people don’t see that. Putting your heart and soul into your business and then getting crushed is next level BUT in 3 years this stuff won’t phase you anymore because you know your worth and loss will get easier ❤

I ❤ the staging. Great job 👏

I love these types of videos from youuu

What a great video! It all brought back so many memories (potting plants for color at the front door). Sorry about the person not listing with you, but you've had such great success overall. Like you said, it's her loss, and yes, other agents discount their commission and make all kinds of promises😢. But, it looked like you have some great listings anyway, yay!!!!

What do you do with all of the staging furniture? Is it more cost effective to buy furniture rather then rent it, or to use a company that stages houses for a fee (and I found at least three of those in Seattle after a quick google search) then to buy furniture straight up?

Are you going to become an agent in Palm Springs and live there full time or keep flying back and forth? That would be the most stressful part for me. Otherwise it looks like a fun job even if you have a slow week once in a while. People can be annoying sometimes. As a delivery driver I do feel under appreciated. People who live in big complexes need to meet us outside bc we drove it there. I don’t do elevators. Have you noticed the weird (neurotoxin) fragrance sprays they put in apartment lobbies? Lol. They’re doing it in Austin. Take care ❤ thanks for sharing with us Monica. See you next time.

Loved this!! More please!

So do you keep the furniture that you buy for staging and reuse it in another home or does it stay with the home?

I had an agent use his personal number before and the way he’d answer his phone like I was a spam caller or something. Glad you got a business number.

I'm glad things turned around for you, and rather quickly too. It reinforces the fact that things always will...real estate is an emotional roller coaster, for sure, but I want you to know that I think you are doing a great job. You are killing it! Also, take some comfort it knowing that you are not the only one that goes through this, it's not you it's them 😄

it's impossible to control buyers . if you can create urgency sales and listings will flow .to be directly involved in the staging is so much work .

@Monica Church you gonna keep doing real estate even with the end of 6% commissions?

I think I would really enjoy being a real estate agent, I've always loved houses. Even picking the photos is fun

That parking charge!!! 😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰

Loved seeing the before & after!!

Loved this video!

Always good to show the real side of it 👍⛈

Your Saturdays feeling like Mondays and Mondays are Saturdays? Don’t worry, I’m over here drowning in the sea of my own confusion, where every day feels like a Monday on repeat.

haha i do music at a church for my job, so my sundays are mondays and my mondays are saturdays!!

I’m assuming you aren’t including staging as part of your commission. Do sellers pay you extra if they want to do that?

That will be your signature moment Monica

Really enjoyed this video!

I get it! I just lost a listing too! It sucks when we work so hard and do so much for our clients! I have been feeling down also. I was surprised to find you going through the same emotions! It is the loss of that seller to not have you! You do a great job. What is Jason doing these days I thought he was in real estate with you with Compass? Give us an update plz:)

I have to say you are a hard working agent! You do alot for your clients.

Who's paying the staging? The Seller or the Buyer? Does the furniture stay or gets moved out afterwards?

lol, I use the same productivity journal for work.

I’d love to see more videos like this

all that work for staging is cray! I would want to see my future place clean & blank. are they buying the stuff or do you have to keep hauling it around?

You're doing great 👍🥰

When you take a photo of the house, don’t you have to pick a certain aspect ratio?

Oh my goodness! I totally love the red seats in your car!

Didn’t Jason also become a realtor? I thought the two of you had your own team?

You are my comfort youtuber! :)❤

Could you share what Jason does? I know he got a real estate license but I'm interested in what he's doing. Love your videos.

Did you pay the stager for their services? And also do you know how someone can get into staging as a career?

Hello everyone, good viewing🐼...

My husband is a real estate appraiser and the market in Georgia has been slow for at least 6 months. It’s only in the last few weeks that things have started to pick up.

Wow, I'm parking at an outdoor airport carpark here in Australia and it's only going to cost $132 for 11 days...

Monica Rocks! Write off that parking fee😢. Can you return staging supplies or can you reuse? Take a break. You definitely deserve it.🥰

This was a great video

Monicaa 😃

"We're gonna fast-forward back to..." My brain: 🤯

Not a good time to be a realtor now I guess with everyone waking up and realizing realtors don’t deserve the commission they get. Hope you the best, but today’s settlement proves the realtor boom is over.

What?! What do you mean there's no contingencies on a new construction purchase? That's an aspect of the offer! Don't place that blame on the construction company! "There's nothing I could have done about it", what do you mean??? It's a slow market in Seattle, you could have advised your client not to waive contingencies! Look inward. That poor person, holy cow.

Can you use Nextiva in the UK?

Dang you get so much stuff done

How is a kitchen remodel possible in 16 days? I want a video on THAT! I want a kitchen renovation in my house. ;)

Are you working on the east side? Just curious about why 253 is bad even though that's pretty local, and why you didn't want a 206.

Did you remember your camera lens????? LOL. I hope for you continued success. Peace 🕊️

Can you link the art in the living room?

How do you manage having your car there?

Can't believe you didn't have a email signature yet! hehe

They may have chosen another agent that’s a friend or a friend of a friend. It’s probably not personal at all!

Love you 💕🙋‍♀️🤗

Do you sell on Everette WA as well?

thanks for

Best vilogs kis kis ko pasnd hain❤

I like it

Staging sounds stressful, so much heavy and bulky furniture to move around all the time! I'd kinda just want to pay a company to do it

Wow😮

Monika, I am watching your videos from Ukraine. I am interested in looking at the interior of houses. I also make video reviews of houses sold in Ukraine, but cheap ones. No one lives in most of them.

Fast forward back. Honey that’s rewind

I'm not sure if it matters, but unless you used a fake number, people may have seen your new work number in the email signature. Just thought I'd flag in case that's an issue!.

I know 206 from Seattle 😂

this is crazy you and ur sister look so alike omg

❤❤❤

Hello from Morocco how are you doing ?
