To get strong in Real Estate, you should only have strangers as clients. It's easier to manage rejection when your sphere is also where your business transactions are taking place. I do not want to work with my friends; I do not want to sell real estate to my friends. Doing so could be a better real estate strategy.

Having listings and leads connected to other parts of your life hinders your game. Ask yourself this. Do I want to compromise my friendships? The answer is likely no. When the lines between friends and clients are blurred. It is harder on your game in the long run. It is emotionally draining on many levels. It would help if you remembered that being an agent is a job. You might even be quite passionate about it.

I'm passionate about my work too. I love winning in the real estate game. But when I go home at the end of the day, it's not who I am. When your friends are your clients, or you are connected to them, it would help if you always were on when you don't have a separation between these two areas of your life. You never have relaxing friendships, which will build up stress in your long game.
