Work-Life Balance in Real Estate: How to Create it (Without Sacrificing Your Career or Your Sanity)!

A Transaction Manager (TM) is a must for any busy real estate agent who wants to grow their business while still enjoying time with family and friends, hobbies and all that life in Hawaii has to offer!

This week on the Better Together podcast, Locations Partner and Realtor® Anina Quaranto shares how she achieved the sometimes elusive work-life balance, thanks in part to her Transaction Manager, Lesley Benton. Locations Career Development Strategist Kiki King and Partner and Realtor® Bryan Balisacan host.

For Anina, a real estate agent with Locations for more than a decade, finding work-life balance began when she accepted that she couldn’t do all the things, all the time.

Fortunately for Anina, Locations has a team of licensed, professional in-house transaction managers who help to ensure that deadlines are met, paperwork is filed and sales close on time. Knowing Lesley has her back allows Anina to focus on what matters most to her — more time for her clients and more time for herself.

Check out Anina’s other tips for finding balance in the fast-paced world of real estate, and ask yourself how you could be more efficient in your business, too!
