I like to fish and I like real estate so the thought occurred to me the other day, that real estate is kinda like fishin'. Both activites have some things in common, I think you will agree.
- You have to go where the fish are...you have to connect with the consumer
- You have to have a good tackle box...you have to have a good box of skills
- If you don't go fishin'... no fish.....If you don't work you won't sell homes/get listings/make money
- When fishing your buddy may be slaying them, you can't buy a bite.. Sound like real estate?
- When fishing you might be slaying them and then they "just quit"...real estate?
- It's exciting when you are busy and having fun...Ditto for real estate
- You have to know where the action is on the water, same thing for the real estate market
- Not everything is a keeper, same with clients and listings
- Fishin' is fun but you have to have a license, same with real estate
- When you are fishing sometimes you get a snag or tangled up in something, same with real estate
- What worked yesterday in the water may not work today, same thing with our profession
- Sometimes you have to be patient when fishing...Ditto with real estate
- Sometimes you get skunked, no bites...Same with real estate
- Sometimes scouting pays off later, sometimes real estate work takes time to produce results too
- Sometimes there are too many fishermen on the water, same thing with real estate agents
- Sometimes the water gets choppy, sometimes the market gets tough
- Fishin' beats working, but sometimes real estate beats you
