A Day in the Life of a Real Estate Agent: My Hour-by-Hour Schedule
Hey, friends! Today, I’m excited to pull back the curtain and give you a peek into my day-to-day life as a real estate agent. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like juggling showings, listings, family, and everything in between—you're in for a treat!
5:30 AM – Rise and Shine
Yep, I’m part of the 5:30 AM club! I know, it’s early, but honestly, this morning routine sets the tone for my entire day. After my alarm goes off, I get up and get ready for the day by setting out my clothes the night before. I have two piles: one for workout clothes and one for my outfit for the day. After a glass of water, I get into my workout gear and head to our home gym.
From 5:30 AM to 6:30 AM, I focus on my Miracle Morning routine—this includes working out, reading, and journaling. If you haven’t read The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod, I highly recommend it! It’s a game-changer for getting into the right mindset for a productive day.
6:30 AM – Get Ready
From 6:30 AM to 7:15 AM, I shower, get dressed, and sneak in some quick ukulele practice (yes, I’m learning!) to keep my mind sharp. It’s only about 10 minutes, but it helps me feel refreshed and ready for whatever the day throws at me.
7:15 AM – Kid Time
7:15 AM to 8:15 AM is all about my kids! I help them get ready for school, make breakfast, and pack lunches. This is one of my favorite parts of the day because I love being hands-on with them before I dive into work.
8:15 AM – 10:15 AM – Appointment Setting & Prep
After school drop-off, my workday really starts to kick into gear. From 8:15 AM to 10:15 AM, I focus on appointment setting, reviewing listings, and coordinating with lenders. I make sure all the moving parts of my business are in order before the day’s client-facing tasks begin.
10:15 AM – 12:00 PM – Lead Generation & Content Creation
This time is prime for lead generation and content creation. I spend a chunk of my morning interacting with my sphere, creating social media posts, and engaging with my followers. This is also when I often attend masterminds or other meetings to stay up-to-date in the industry.
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM – Lunch Break (Sort Of!)
I try to take a break for lunch, but I’ll be honest—often I’m multitasking. Whether I’m working through lunch or grabbing a quick drink, I’m either prepping for afternoon appointments or continuing to generate content during this time.
1:00 PM – 3:00 PM – Appointments & Showings
This is my appointment window, where I do listing presentations, show homes, and meet with buyers. If I didn’t finish up some morning tasks, this is also when I squeeze in a bit more prep work.
3:00 PM – 5:00 PM – Family Time
From 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, I’m back in family mode. Whether I’m driving the kids to soccer, dance, or gymnastics, I do my best to keep work out of this block of time. I’m in full-on carpool mom mode, and I love it.
5:00 PM – 7:00 PM – Dinner & Evening Routine
Once we’re home, it’s dinner time! I usually help with homework and get the kids ready for bed. While I’m winding down with the family, I may check in on listings or take a few calls, but I do my best to enjoy this time.
7:00 PM – 10:00 PM – Wrapping Up & Preparing for Tomorrow
After dinner, I make sure everything is set up for the next day—whether it’s prepping for a new listing or reviewing offers. If all goes well, I try to hit the hay by 10:00 PM so I’m well-rested and ready to tackle another productive day!
A Schedule That Works for Me (And Can Work for You Too)
I’m a big believer in creating a routine that works for you, and sticking to it. That’s where the rinse and repeat mindset comes in. If you can set a schedule, stay consistent, and keep pushing forward, you will start to see major results.
If you’re a real estate agent who wants to build and scale your business using social media (like I have), feel free to shoot me a message. I’d love to help you! Whether you’re just starting out or looking to elevate your business, I’m here to connect.
Here’s to finding the balance between business, life, and everything in between! 💪✨
