Closets for offices. Zooms with toddlers. Drive-up closings. In this candid episode of Hustle Humbly, Katy and Alissa share what it was really like navigating real estate during the early pandemic days. Recorded remotely during lockdown, this episode captures the awkward, emotional, and sometimes hilarious adjustments agents made to keep going.

If you’ve ever juggled showings, sanity, and social distancing — you’ll feel right at home.

Working from Home: Not as Cute as it Sounds

Katy and Alissa talk about turning closets into offices, muting crying kids, and finding new rhythms when everything was out of sync. Real estate never stopped — but it sure got weird.

• Zoom showings and video walkthroughs
• Closet desks and pajama negotiations
• Trying to look professional from the waist up

How Closings Changed Overnight

Title companies got creative. Drive-up closings, car window signatures, and masked notaries became the norm. Katy and Alissa share how they managed client expectations and stayed flexible when the process kept evolving.

Real Emotions in a Real Crisis

From fear and confusion to laughter and hope, the emotions ran high. The ladies reflect on:

• Feeling disconnected from their normal client routines
• Balancing boundaries and burnout
• Staying human while staying in business

What the Pandemic Taught About Real Estate

Not everything was bad. Katy and Alissa share the surprising positives:

• More virtual tools = more efficiency
• Learning how to pause, breathe, and reset
• Clients appreciating agents more than ever

Even the chaos had a purpose.
