My hat is off to you hard working, bang your head on the table frustated agents. I am a Broker/Owner and I usually never leave the office, I do not compete with my agents and therefore I don't always have the pleasure of going on a listing appointment and competing with another agent/office for a listing. Well it was my supreme pleasure to accompany an agent late yesterday afternoon.
Oh Lord! how the memories come flooding back. I was an agent for 15 years before I took over the office. Oh the glories of hearing about the beauty of the twenty year old kitchen and the value of wall to wall colbalt blue carpet. Of course their house is worth more than any other house in the neighborhood. Of course it was wonderful to hear all the old stories about the kids and the dog Skipper who loved that little yard. By the way the other agent from the morning said the house was worth a breathtaking amount of money and they must know what they were talking about. Sure they did.
Let me now stand up and applaud all of you, all you hard working soldiers in the trenches of the Real Estate world. If your broker doesn't give you a standing ovation at least once a week let me give you one now. This is a tough way to make a living, a great way, but tough none the less. After two hours of madness on this listing presentation my mind drifted to hopes that there was a bottle of wine at home and maybe a small fire to ease my aching mind.
