Yes, You Can Take a Vacation – Here’s How to Do It Without Sacrificing Sales
Let’s be real: for most real estate agents, the idea of taking a true vacation sounds...well, a little mythical. Between showings, client calls, and deals in motion, unplugging can feel impossible.
But here’s the truth: rest isn’t just nice, it’s necessary. And with a little planning, you can take a break without losing momentum in your business.
Here are a few smart strategies to make it happen:
1. Set the Stage Early
Let clients and colleagues know in advance when you’ll be away. Give them plenty of notice and remind them as your vacation approaches.
Set expectations for response times and who they can contact while you're out.
2. Team Up
Partner with a trusted colleague who can handle urgent client needs while you’re gone.
Many agents set up referral agreements or offer a split to cover for each other. It’s a win-win.
3. Automate What You Can
Use tools like auto-responders, social media schedulers, and CRMs to keep communication flowing while you're recharging.
Pro tip: Pre-schedule your property marketing with us - we’ve got your media needs covered even when you're off the clock.
4. Let Us Help You Prep
Before you head out, book those listing photo shoots, virtual tours, or social content with our team.
We’ll help make sure your properties are still getting top-notch marketing while you’re unwinding.
5. Actually. Unplug.
This part’s on you 😉
Resist the urge to “just check in.” Trust your systems and your support team.
Your future (well-rested) self will thank you.
Bonus Tip: If your vacation plans are still a dream, consider starting small - a staycation, long weekend, or a few unplugged days off can do wonders.
