The Night DoorDash Taught Me Everything About Real Estate

I Used To Think DoorDash Was Lazy

There was a time when I refused to use food delivery apps.

Why pay extra when I could just hop in the car and grab it myself?

I figured it was for people who didn’t want to put in the effort.

Then one night, everything changed.

What DoorDash Gets Right & Most People Get Wrong in Real Estate

That night I was buried in work. Dinner wasn’t going to make itself, and I had zero interest in driving across town. So I gave in. Opened the app. Clicked a few buttons.

And boom!

Twenty minutes later, dinner was at my door.

I wasn’t being lazy. I was being smart.

Because I realized something: I wasn’t just paying for food. I was paying for time, less stress, and someone else handling the moving parts.

And real estate works the exact same way.

A lot of buyers and sellers think they’re saving money by doing things themselves.

But what they’re actually doing is signing up for:

• Missed details

• Legal headaches

• Pricing mistakes

• Negotiation errors

• And a whole lot of wasted time

Truth is, just like with DoorDash, the smartest people don’t do it all themselves.

Final Thought

At the end of the day, it’s not about whether you can do it yourself. It’s about whether you should.

Smart people don’t waste time trying to master something that isn’t their zone of genius. They find someone who lives and breathes it and let them deliver the result.

That’s what I do in real estate.

Stay Safe,

Mike
