From early morning appointments to late-night paperwork, a day in the life of a real estate agent is unpredictable and fast-paced. You’re constantly on the go, showing properties, attending meetings, and networking. And let’s not forget the countless phone calls, emails, and text messages that need to be answered ASAP.

But being a real estate agent is not all work and no play—most agents find time to fit in workouts, coffee dates, and some personal development. And, of course, there’s always time for a celebratory cocktail after closing a deal.

While being an agent is not your typical 9-5, one thing is for sure: it’s never boring. From the highs of a successful sale to the lows of dealing with difficult clients, these “day in the life” videos give you a glimpse into the world of real estate. (And if nothing else, you can use it as some content inspo.)

Ah, so these are the secrets of every Realtor with “Top 1% agent” in their bios. @jenngstyle nailed this one.

A great blend of self-care and work in this one. Who else wishes they joined the biz at 18 like @jadaalexishill?

In South Florida, @melsellsfl shows a day that’s equal parts work and drinking. Sometimes, it’s like that.

Real estate doesn’t stop on the weekends. Here’s how @rentarealtor balances life and work on a Saturday.

@rentarealtor 🏡Day in the life of a real estate agent! Every day looks a little different but most most days include prospecting and follow up with clients. Other days as a realtor include Research for current clients, family time, gym time, marketing, market research, meeting with buyers/sellers, coaching, scripting and so much more! #dfwrealtor #realtor#texasrealtor #dayinmylife #fortworthrealtor #dallasrealtor ♬ Paradise - Ikson

But what’s it really like?

While it’s great to see highlight reels of agents who (probably) love their jobs, @thebrokeagent never fails to show what’s really happening behind the scenes.
