Aside from the constant networking and relationship building you need to constantly be doing, on any given day, you may be out door-knocking your farm (a geographic area of 300-600 homes that you market to with a min 3-5% annual turnover), working on designing a postcard or flyer to deliver to your farm, handwriting letters to your contacts, cold-calling expired listings, previewing homes, and/or showing buyers around.

A lot of her furniture is ruined but she has rental insurance.
