The Not-So-Secret Life of a Homeschooling, ADHD Mom-Turned-Realtor®

Why eXp Realty and My Chaos Are a Match Made in Heaven

Hey there, universe! Ever wondered what it’s like to juggle a buzzing real estate career, a vibrant homeschooling schedule, and a whirlwind of fun (and sometimes not-so-fun) distractions, all while having ADHD? Buckle up and grab a coffee (or wine, no judgment here) because here’s my roller-coaster tale.

First off, can we have a moment for ADHD? Far from being my kryptonite, it’s more like my superpower in the real estate realm. The flexibility and spontaneity required in this job? It’s like the universe looked at my ADHD and said, “Challenge accepted!”

Why Real Estate? Or Rather, Why Not?

• Roller-coaster Routines: Every day in the world of real estate is as unpredictable as my crafting attempts. One day I’m touring luxury condos, the next I’m calculating property areas with my son as an impromptu math lesson (win-win!). There’s also a huge benefit to using a digital curriculum, school on the go! (When necessary)
• Pocket-Size Productivity: Between my son’s bowling league, horseback riding, and therapies, I’ve mastered the art of squeezing work into unexpected pockets of time. Waiting at the equestrian center? Perfect time to send off a few emails in between taking loads of photos! Because…horses (and kids) are cute.

The eXp Realty Magic

Honestly, eXp Realty could have been created just for my beautifully chaotic life:

1. Anywhere & Everywhere: Their genius digital platform lets me work from my paddleboard (okay, maybe not, but close). Virtual meetings between therapy sessions? Count me in!
2. All-for-One, One-for-All Vibe: The sense of community at eXp is off the charts. It’s like having a big, extended family who gets the madness and has your back 24/7.
3. Learning Never Stops: Just like my teaching moments with my kiddo, eXp’s ever-evolving training resources ensure I’m always learning, growing, and not getting bored.
4. Cha-Ching Moments: Their unique financial model (hello revenue share and stock awards) means even on vacation, I can be making some moolah on the side.

The Circus Backstage

Behind the curtains of this performance, there’s a super supportive husband (who’s also mastered the work-from-home waltz), our canine squad, and the main star, my son. Their antics, adventures, and heartwarming moments give me stories to share with clients and connections, humanizing the often transactional world of real estate.

From crafting escapes and writing binges to my son’s profound moments with our furry family, it’s a vibrant mosaic that, surprisingly, makes my Realtor journey even more enriching.

To wrap this roller-coaster up: To all the multifaceted maestros out there, embrace your beautiful chaos. Find a career and a tribe (shoutout to eXp Realty!) that doesn’t just tolerate your quirks, but celebrates them. After all, in the vast landscape of life, it’s our unique paths that make the most scenic views! Cheers to the journey! 🥂 – Jess
