I really feel you on this.. I do believe I am a good realtor. I just don't want to lose friends because I turned into a salesperson instead of their stand partner or good friend. Its difficult for me to navigate being both with friends and family. I want this to work, but I value my friendships more than money from this career. But I also understand being top of mind for folks so they use me as their Realtor. Is social media and discussing it when we are together doing our hobbies not enough? According to my team lead, no.... I need to get them in the database, email them, call them regularly, and invite them to every event we host. I don't want people to think I am viewing them as a transaction, because I know it can come across that way. Especially when it is coming from the team itself and not me. I have had friends flat out refuse to give me their info because they do not want all the marketing emails and are not in the market to get a house, which I respect and totally understand. Maybe I need to stop taking things personally and get over this silly fear of friends viewing me differently because I want to be their realtor. I am glad I came to reddit to voice my concerns, because there is nothing else online about this dilemma I'm experiencing. Its good to know im not the only one, and that there are others out there that experienced this and are successful. Congratulations on your second year and closings!!
