Welcome back to The Realtor Who Wines! In episode 29, Rashelle and Whitney get real about what it means to build a business, balance a family, and stay sane in this wild world of real estate.

Whitney Robison and Rashelle Newmyer open up about the real realities of being self-employed, including the financial hurdles, the sleepless nights, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with being “on call” 24/7. From late-night client texts to juggling deadlines and school pickups, they talk about how realtors somehow do it all (and occasionally forget early release days).

They share what it’s really like starting out in real estate and why it can take months (or even a year) to see your first sale, how to use slow open houses as a business tool, and why time-blocking and boundaries are your best friends.

And yes, they also talk about money commissions, taxes, the myth of “easy money,” and how that $10,000 check can quickly turn into $4,000 once the dust settles. It’s candid, funny, and packed with advice for new agents trying to find their rhythm.

Ultimately, this episode is about community, having a network of supportive agents, mentors, and friends who cheer you on and help you win. Because in real estate, no one succeeds alone. Pour yourself a glass, take a deep breath, and join them for an honest conversation about the hustle, the heart, and the humor it takes to build a career in real estate. Cheers!
