We recently had the chance to connect with Hadas Metzler and have shared our conversation below.
Hadas, a huge thanks to you for investing the time to share your wisdom with those who are seeking it. We think it’s so important for us to share stories with our neighbors, friends and community because knowledge multiples when we share with each other. Let’s jump in: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Tennis!
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I transitioned into real estate after nearly 20 years in interior design, where I worked extensively on commercial projects and collaborated with multi-unit residential developers. While I valued the creative and technical aspects of design, I found myself wanting more direct human interaction and the opportunity to truly serve people on a personal level. Real estate felt like a natural calling because my background allows me to help clients not only evaluate a property, but also envision how it can become their home — a meaningful and personal space.
Alongside my professional journey, I’ve also been on a long-standing spiritual path that has recently deepened through my studies of Kabbalah. This perspective shapes how I view my role. I don’t see myself as the stereotypical realtor in a suit focused on status symbols. Instead, I see a home as a sanctuary — a place where people feel safe, create memories, begin their mornings, and unwind at the end of the day.
My goal is to guide clients thoughtfully so they can achieve that sense of belonging and comfort. The most rewarding part of my work is following up after a purchase and hearing how happy they are in their new space and in their everyday lives.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
Communication is essential. When two people are not communicating on the same wavelength, it can quickly create misunderstandings and disruption. Clear, thoughtful communication is what builds trust, and trust is the foundation of both my business and the relationships within it. I make it a priority to ensure clients feel heard, understood, and informed at every step.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Growth doesn’t happen without challenges. Challenges are what shape us, define us, and deepen our understanding. Every setback is an opportunity to learn, and those lessons are what separate a beginner from a seasoned professional. That mindset not only strengthens me as an agent, but also guides how I approach every aspect of life and work.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. Whom do you admire for their character, not their power?
Michelle Obama. What sets her apart is her ability to connect with people across different backgrounds while advocating for meaningful initiatives such as education, military family support, and healthy living. Her communication style is warm yet direct, and she is widely respected for being candid about personal challenges, including work–life balance and identity. This combination of professionalism, approachability, and advocacy has made her influential well beyond her time in the White House.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What will you regret not doing?
Creating cermonial rituals for my family.
I’m naturally a very casual, present-focused person. I tend to live in the moment rather than pause to commemorate one occasion over another or dwell on the past. To me, each moment in the present carries equal importance.
At the same time, I deeply admire people who create ceremonial rituals for their families — celebrating birthdays, honoring milestones, and romanticizing anniversaries in ways that turn ordinary dates into meaningful memories. It’s a quality I value because those intentional traditions can transform moments into lasting experiences and strengthen family connections.
