Realty with Makaila E.

Hey everyone, Happy Friday! We're finally getting some warmer weather in Maryland and it's a nice change of pace. Last week I mentioned that I wanted to premiere more of my real estate side on the blog so we're going to be talking about a segment that I do every week called Monday Mornings with Makaila! ☀️📊 I'm sure most of you reading this already know about the segment since I promote it every Monday Morning. The main purpose of why I started MMwM was to educate people more about the unknowns in real estate, while informing them of how it pertains to them as a consumer. Real estate has so much terminology, and it's words you don't hear often enough for it to stick with you which makes it very easy to get overwhelmed. 🤯🗯️ Each week I go over a topic and cover some FAQs about them. I also cover the current mortgage rates and find different ways to get my audience to engage with me and my content. Recently, I've been hitting a plateau, as I'm not reall...

 Hiii Everyone! So happy to be writing to you guys, and even happier for you to be reading it. 👋😃 I always look forward to making a blog post every week; I really feel like it humanizes me and allows you guys to get to know who I am outside of the whole real estate business. Lately, I've been feeling so out of whack with my schedule. So many changes are happening and even more so with stepping out of my comfort zone with cold calling and active prospecting. 😩📞 I managed to make myself a meal prep this week, but it's safe to say that this was a combination that I have not thought of before. Sometimes I like to get creative and experiment with the "what ifs?" I had some coconut crusted flounder in my freezer, along with some Caribbean-style veggies that shared a sweet and savory taste. I paired them with some jasmine rice and made an amazing dish that fits my lifestyle choices. I absolutely love when things work out and become better than expected! Sometimes you jus...

 Hey Y'all! Happy Wednesday, hope your week has had a decent start. Last week, we focused more on our mental health, and now we're going to highlight more about our physical health this week.  I try to get in at least three days worth of workouts that last anywhere from 1-2 hours depending on what my situation is for the week. Believe it or not, there are so many different factors that play into whether or not you will have a good workout. Things like your energy level, your discipline, and your time management are crucial to getting things done in the gym. ⏱️🔋 Fortunately, my other job allows me to work in an establishment where it is not hard to stay disciplined. I get so inspired by everyone's self-journey, that it motivates me to continue mine. I also have the convenience of already being at a gym! So I always bring a gym bag to work with me, and just change when I get out of work. 🎒🤩 The best way to tackle your time management is to split your workouts. Recently I h...

On Wednesday, I made the executive decision to take my own advice and give myself a mental health day. My mind is constantly on the move, which makes it hard to do everything simultaneously. I'm one of those people who feel organized when my environment is organized so I took it upon myself to get my place back in shape! 🛋️☑️ I also took the time to do things that I enjoy, like finally building this Lego set that I've had since Christmas. Of course you can't forget meal prepping as well. Life gets so busy sometimes, so I decided to slow down and take things more at my pace this week. While it wasn't productive from a business standpoint, it was from an organization outlook. 🧺🧹 Update: I feel so at peace to have taken some time away to do the things I've been holding off and I plan on letting that time carry into this weekend and give myself a break from real estate. Building a business isn't easy, but everyone deserves a break. I'm celebrating the small w...
