Navigating Sensitivity, Lightheartedness, and Embracing My Strengths in Real Estate

I have always been someone who feels things deeply. I pick up on the energy in a room, sense when someone is uncomfortable, and instinctively try to make people feel at ease. I used to see my sensitivity as a weakness, something that made me too much—too emotional, too reactive, too aware of things others didn’t seem to notice. But over time, I’ve come to embrace that being highly sensitive is actually a strength. 💪✨ It allows me to connect with people in a way that feels genuine, to see situations from multiple perspectives, and to bring a sense of lightheartedness where it’s needed most.

But sometimes, in my quest to make people feel comfortable, I say things that make me stop and think, Why did those words just escape my mouth? 🤦‍♀️

Case in point: yesterday’s real estate class.

We were going over a set of eight questions from our broker, and when he asked how we thought we did, I—without hesitation—responded with, “Oh, I think I did great. I’m a good bullshitter.” 🤭 Yep. That’s what I said.

Now, let me clarify—I am not a liar or an exaggerator. In fact, I might just be the most honest person I know! What I am is a good conversationalist. I can find the best in anyone or any situation, and I have a way of softening interactions to make people feel more comfortable. But in that moment, I couldn’t help but think, Why did I say that? 😅

I laughed it off with my colleagues, and if nothing else, I lightened the mood. But as I drove home, I started to overanalyze (as I do). I worried about whether people would think I lacked intelligence or professionalism. I questioned whether I should have kept my mouth shut altogether.

But here’s the thing—I am learning. 📚 Every day, I pick up something new, and honestly, I’m impressed with how much I already know. Just by being around my husband, realtor John, and the leader of the Klassen Group, I’ve absorbed so much. I’ve been there for so many of my husband’s real estate endeavors, tagging along on showings, observing negotiations, and experiencing the ins and outs of the business—because, let’s be real, sometimes that’s the only way I get any time in with him! ❤️🏡

And the best part? I know I have the absolute best in real estate backing me.

In real estate—and in life—you are always learning. No one walks into a room knowing it all, but the willingness to grow, adapt, and keep moving forward is what sets people apart. I have a big heart, I’m genuine, and I’m willing to put in the hard work. Whether it’s showing up for my clients, helping get a property ready for listing, or making sure people feel at ease in any situation, I know I have the skills to succeed.

Most of all, if you’re reading this, I hope you find me relatable. Because real estate isn’t just about transactions—it’s about people, connection, and showing up as your true self. And that? That’s something I’m always going to do.

Keith and I got our sign riders yesterday! 🎉🚀 Another small but exciting step in this journey. I’m including this picture of us because moments like these remind me—we’re doing this, we’re growing, and we’re building something great!

Stay Rosy, Amber🤍🤟
