Episode Details

Thanksgiving week is here, so consider this your realtor Thanksgiving pep talk: short, sweet, and just here to remind you that work is not life. We're keeping it light this week with our favorite quotes, a little gratitude, and permission to actually unplug.

We talk about why your family shouldn't get your leftovers this week, why "don't miss twice" beats trying to be perfect with your habits, and why lowering your expectations (gift wrap included) is a totally acceptable holiday strategy. We also share a few personal stories, including a very late night counter offer that Alissa wrote from bed, because sometimes the deal still has to get done, even during a cozy holiday week.

This is a short one on purpose. Turn off your phone Thursday, eat the pie, and know that we are so thankful for you this year.

-Why your family shouldn't get your leftovers this holiday week
