Thanks to everyone who commented on the Having a Bad Day photos. It provided a much needed chuckle in a stressful week. I think it is good to maintain a sense of humor in any business (especially ours).
One of my clients ask after a particular hard transaction how I kept my cool. I thought for a minute and responded that I see it everyday. What seems like a particular horrible situation to the buyer or seller, chances are the agent has dealt with it before. I continued with, now you can see the value of agents. A lot of what we get paid for is to absorb the stress of the transaction and make things easier on the client. I finished with the fact that I often think it could be worse, I could work with my sister. She is a nuerosurgical nurse and to me brain surgery would be a little more stressful than what I do.
I think maybe as agents we need to step back more often and appreciate ourselves and let out a deep breath. We are valuable and there is nothing wrong with a little humor in our work. Live it up guys, let down your hair, and laugh!
