Sometimes, it's good to get away, take a little walk out outside and clear your head.
Although the seasons change, plants bloom and die - the landscape and the land remain fairly unchanged.
In nature, things appear the way "they should be" and we are much more likely to accept those unexpected and wonderful things in nature, than those unexpected and not so wonderful things that occur in the real estate business: for instance, these recent phone conversations that have been, well, a little prickly.
Apparently the listing agent is just super busy and said,"Oh, you emailed me too, didn't you?
"Yes, I did, Dear Listing Agent - and you didn't email me back, acknowledge my question- or get an answer for my buyer.....we're still waiting!"
~
"Yes, my Buyer, after being on the market for 287 days with no activity it is amazing that all of the sudden there are multiple offers on the table at the same time!
Sadly, your highest and best was neither highest nor the best."
~
"Mary, the seller doesn't have that much money to bring to the closing table, would you consider cutting the commissions?"
~
The list goes on ....but
Maybe your trials today have nothing to do with real estate - we all have them in our personal lives from time to time. and like a thunderstorm, we always appreciate the sunshine more -
Nobody likes a sad tale! I think I'll go outside. Sometimes, it's good to get away, take a little walk about and clear your head.
All of these matters will be resolved, if a tree can grow from a rock, I imagine all things are possible.
There are days, when you just have to concentrate a little more on the tree and know that everything is as it should be.
