"There Aren't Enough 000s on That Check....

....for me to do what you do every day."

This is what one of my best friends told me yesterday, for the umpteenth time. Mind you, she is no sissy. She is a highly successful sale coach who left a stellar career in big ticket technology sales after many years. This petite powerhouse routinely brought C-level executives to their knees, begging her to cut them at least a LITTLE slack.

But when she hears about the on-going legislative changes we have to deal with; the moving target that has become loan processing; the banks that continually lose files; the players in our deals who thrive on drama and emotion -- well, let's just say she might kill someone before her first year in real estate was over.

So congrats to you, my colleagues in the trenches.....we are the survivors!

Sometimes it is hard to keep going.  I've been plugging away for 4 1/2 years, and most of my experiences have been good.  This year has posed so many challenges with the loans, and buyers wanting deals, and expectations that are unrealistic.

Yes, most of the experiences are good. And even after a few 'clients from hell,' it seems like those memories fade as I get caught up with new clients. Maybe it's like that childbirth gene. You know, the one that makes mothers forget how painful it all was so they have the next baby?  :)
