That’s why they are well paid because it is one of the most difficult jobs in the world when done well.

Rick: Thanks for the humor. Today I'm wearing the OFF DUTY hat, but I've worn all those above at one time or another.

Rick, Forgot Marketing manager:)) just taking a break and seeing what others are doing.LOL

Rick - You are so right. WE do where a lot og hats. But I really don't think our job is all that hard if done right. I think it is challenging but fun if done right. Very rewarding too.

Thanks Matt. I like that hat - don't seem to wear it as much as I'd like.

Right Endre. I'm a mortgage broker, and though I may not wear as many hats as you guys, Marketing Mgr. is one of them for sure.

Bob, our jobs are challenging since you need to be competent at so many things - or better yet, hire folks who can act as Virtual Assistants for tasks that you can delegate. You'll save money on hats ;-)

Rick, love the post! And I watched your video - nicely done!

Rick,

That was a very good video. I am pretty sure that you will be rewarded.

Jack of all trades, master at some! Delegate! I am checking into a virtual assistant so I can concentrate more on what I love.

Rick.....real estate agents tend to wear more hats than they should.... we need to be very cautious about wearing some of that hats you listed....in this litigious society, helping folks with certain specialties that you are not certified to do, can lead to trouble.....caution needs to be taken and referrals made to those who have a certification, i.e. accountants & lawyers.....

Rick...Tour guides can be another to add to your list, and that's not just for Relo's!

with short sales. . . and some many people stressed out. .a marriage counselor

then yesterday I was doing a BPO and changed a lock because the lock was broken. . locksmith?

So true. I see agents that often wear hats they should not be wearing . . . and sometimes are not allowed to. :)

Rick -

Thanks for your post. That certainly list looks familiar.

Rick - Thanks for the post. It reminds me that the trick is knowing your priorities!

Great point Rick, and I love the humor. We should be careful as Barbara cautions however. Gotta cover your butt as always...

Maria, C. Loyd, Joel, and Jill, thank you.

Dick and Dixie - I have been using one for a couple of months now - best thing I've ever done...

Barbara and Alexandria - wise advice.

Larry & Shiela - yes - Chauffer isn't enough.

Fernando - I had marriage counselor but I like locksmith...

Thanks Gerry...yep...always CYA.

Aren't we all asked often what do you think will happen in this market? So I would guess we are Fortune Tellers!

Mary - you just picked my favorite one! :-)

How about the person who holds the punching bag for the boxer?

NOV

Jane - you mean like "Mick," Rocky Balboa's trainer? Sure...why not? We can also add a "Referee" ;-)

I am thinking more like the punching bag itself :)

NOV

Rick: Forget marriage counselor...just counselor in general. So many emotions tied up in buying and selling homes it's imperative to be able to figure out how your clients are making their decisions.

That's a lot of Hats Rick!! I love the photo and the idea of all the jobs we do from day to day . I guess that's what makes it so interesting.

Chris Ann - I guess we can divide that into 2 separate jobs ;-)

Mary - yes - it sure allows us to grow in many different ways.
