Why Parenthood Makes Us a Better Real Estate Agent

Let’s be real for a second, there was a time when we thought being a mom and a realtor was going to be downright impossible.

We pictured constant chaos. Missed deadlines. Crying babies in one ear and clients in the other. We had convinced ourselves that we’d have to choose one role over the other and whichever we chose, the other would suffer.

But here’s the thing: none of that turned out to be true.

In fact, after I had my second child, I found myself negotiating contracts from the hospital bed. We wasn’t stressed. We wasn’t overwhelmed. We wasn’t thinking, “What we are doing?” Instead, we was calm, focused, and fully in control.

Why? Because we had the right systems and support in place. we had a trusted network of people who helped carry the load so we could show up fully, both as a mom and as a professional. Our clients never missed a beat. Our family never felt like an afterthought. And we realized something powerful…

Being a mom doesn’t make us a weaker agent. It makes us a stronger one.

Motherhood has taught us how to juggle, prioritize, multitask, problem-solve under pressure, and never waste time. When we tell people we have two under three, the reaction we get is often surprise, but also admiration. Because they know immediately: if we can manage toddlers and timelines, we can manage anything.

We get things done. We don’t overpromise or under-deliver. We,'re efficient, empathetic, and tenacious because we have to be.

Why Clients Love Working With Realtor Moms

One of the things we've come to love is how much our identity as a mom creates trust and connection with our clients. Especially with other parents or busy professionals, they see me and think, “If anyone understands how hectic our life is right now, it’s her.”

Whether you're buying your first home, relocating with kids in tow, or juggling a career while trying to sell your house, we bring the kind of grounded, real-world understanding that only a fellow multitasker can.

This Isn’t Just a Job, It’s a Lifestyle We’ve Built

What makes it all work? It’s not just me. It’s us.

We’re Jill and Paige, your local real estate experts, and we’ve built our business around community, connection, and compassion. We show up for each other. We show up for our clients. And yes, sometimes our toddlers are at showings (don’t worry, they’ve been trained to spot granite countertops).

Our clients know they can count on us to be responsive, realistic, and relentless when it comes to getting results. But more than that, they know we get it. We live real life, just like they do. And that’s why we’re able to guide them through one of the most emotional and important decisions they'll ever make, with confidence and care.

So, What’s the Point?

The point is this: You don’t have to fit into a perfect box to succeed in real estate, or to find a realtor who fits your life.

We embrace the hustle. We embrace the hard. We embrace the fact that some days we’re running on caffeine and snacks from diaper bags. And it’s exactly that experience that makes us the best at what we do.

Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, upsizing for a growing family, or ready to sell and start your next chapter, we’ve got you.
