You Made Money… So Why Doesn’t It Feel Like It?

A single question will change how you view your income.

Many REALTORS® spend time trying to understand write-offs. They matter but they do not fully explain that your commission cheque is only partially yours.

Some of your commission belongs to taxes, some of it is required to run your business but only a portion of it is actually yours to keep.

The challenge is that when it all lands in one account, it looks like all of it is available. So then it gets treated that way. A few weeks later, many REALTORS® find themselves wondering: “I made money so why doesn’t if feel like it?”

This is where things start to shift. Not with more deals or more write-offs but just by understanding what that cheque actually represents.
