How do you schedule in a life

[Maria McCreless]

Hi all. 

I love love being an agent and Property Manager but some days I feel like it consumes me.  While I am not feeling burned out, I could see that if I do not make some realistic schedules, I soon will be.  So here is where I am at, I am a Property Manager from 9-5 so I have a good bit of flexibility. I can show properties whenever I need to but of course most of my showings are after business hours and on weekends due to my clients schedules.  I found myself Saturday night responding to leads, sending listing and emailing clients until 2am Sunday morning and showed homes all day Saturday and Sunday.   

Please do not think I am complaining, because I am not trying to and absolutely love what I do!!! I have been in real estate for many years but am a new agent (started selling in May).  I am having an issue determining how best to balance my schedule.  In addition, as a new agent, I am trying to get my name out and am working extra hard to service clients so the pressure is really on.

With all of this being said, any advice on how to schedule and what limits to put in place?  And what criteria do you use to say to a client that another realtor may work better for them?  

Thanks in advance.
