From Open Houses to Opening Sets: How My Dual Careers Keep Me Grounded
When people learn that I’m both a real estate agent and a DJ, the reaction is almost always the same: “Wait—you do both?!”
Yes. And I love it.
At first glance, real estate and music may seem like two very different worlds—but for me, they’re deeply connected. Balancing these two careers isn’t just something I do for variety. It’s a lifestyle that keeps me grounded, focused, and inspired every single day.
🎧 Daytime Hustle, Nighttime Flow
My days are often spent walking brownstones, negotiating deals, and helping clients envision their next chapter in New York City. But when the sun goes down, I trade the listing sheets for turntables. As DJ Vidal, I’ve played sets everywhere from sleek rooftop lounges to intimate downtown haunts—spaces filled with energy, culture, and connection.
Real estate gives me structure. DJing gives me release. The combination reminds me that success doesn’t have to look one-dimensional. I’ve learned that you can lead with both strategy and soul.
🧠 Why It Actually Works
Believe it or not, these two careers feed each other. My background in psychology and nursing taught me to listen deeply and read between the lines—skills that show up every time I guide a nervous first-time buyer or read the room behind the decks. Whether it’s closing a deal or curating the vibe for a party, my job is to hold space and move people forward.
And if you’ve ever tried booking a venue or navigating a competitive real estate market, you know: you’ve got to stay sharp. Time management, negotiation, and consistency are non-negotiables in both industries. The creative side keeps me energized; the business side keeps me rooted.
💡 For Anyone Juggling More Than One Passion…
You don’t have to choose just one lane. Your unique combination of passions might be exactly what sets you apart. In fact, my clients often tell me they trust me more because I bring a real-world, multidimensional perspective to the table. I get what it means to build something bold from the ground up—whether that’s a new home or a career path that defies convention.
So here’s your reminder: your “and” can be your superpower.
