Now I need to be careful when I say that...I am really, really close to the age of that statement.   The other day while talking with a potential seller he was telling me most everything that has ever happened in his life.

He talked about times from childhood to getting married right on up to having coffee that morning.  I looked at him at one point and said...

"Harold, have you lived here all of your life?"

To which he replied..."NO, not yet."

Just when I thought that I had heard it all.

Bill, you never know what wisdom will come out during a visit.  Sitting and taling is one way of making the elderly client more comfortable with you.

That is a great post.  I work in a retirement community and the one liners you hear from them are great.

Bill, your posts are always full of good humor!  I too love working with older clients.  They are usually very opinionated but also generally respect Realtors sage advice.

I love working with older clients. It makes me slow down and gain more distance from the everyday grind.

William,

One thing that I have learned, maybe not too well, is that you have to be careful of the questions you ask of the more seasoned generation.  They do have a quick wit.
