It is a bit easier with Sellers, however still receiving multiple offers, so probably one seller every few days.  Buyers are tougher, as there are not enough homes on the market, and you have to drop everything to go show when one comes on the market.   Probably only 2-3 buyers at a time.

I think one needs to limit the number of buyers....but I've worked with as many as 30 resale listings at one time plus two subdivisions....no team....no assistant.... no issues and no days off!!!!  I worked 365 days without a day off.... that was insane and only did it one year....no amount of money was worth doing it again....

At one point last year Amanda and 13 deals pending, 5-7 active listings, and 2-3 active buyers each.  That was almost too much, but we have a team that helped us get it done.

Since I'm a solo agent, I limit listings to no more than 8-10. Just really can't service my clients properly otherwise. Buyers less so, as they often don't all need service from me at the exact same time.

I have never set a "limit" however there have been a few times that was frazzled trying to take care of everyone.  Have not really figured out the secret to keeping things at an even keel.  Is that even possible in Real Estate?

William Feela - not exactly. I know it's a challenge to work with too many buyers at the same time. However, MREA (Red Book from KW) shows us a model of Showing Agent with which you can handle more buyers.

And when it comes to sellers - yes, there should be no limit, virtually.
