When A Friend Asks..What 'Cha' Doing? How Will You Answer?

Over the years, I have been fortunate to meet buyers, sellers, agents, brokers and so many have become friends. Through this wonderful real estate career and especially in the past few years, real bonds have grown through blogging right here on ActiveRain. Anyone who follows me, knows we have had some wonderful gatherings. It would be hard, so I am not going to try, to name all the special people who have gotten together in Baltimore.

Here are a few links to bring back some memories.

Active Rain Open House Gathering

A Few Special ActiveRainers!

One Hour Ride From Baltimore

Three Divas in Baltimore,Maryland

Lenn Harley comes to Margaret Rome's  Open

The ActiveRain Open House Was Awesome

 

This past Wednesday, one of these good friends was traveling through Baltimore! When the call comes in from someone like CTann..."What cha doing?"My answer is usually: "Nothing"! Ha I am going to make myself available when this dynamo is in or near Maryland.

That's what friendship is about. So off I went to meet Carolyn Tann-Star and my favorite shorties. It was only for an hour but it was a good hour of catching up, having a meal and spending some quality time together. Here is her recap. Dinner With Margaret...

"Minion Blur" is  such an appropriate name for Stephan. Amazing that I got this shot..notice Mom is a bit blurred....and you can see Noah's toys and those cars that were traveling around his plate.

So when you get a call asking, "What Cha Doing"?  How will you answer? Will you make yourself available? Will you make time to get together? Will you be too busy? It is your choice!!

Right now I'm doing Friday night.  Getting my comments in - lloking at my dog sitting on my lap and making it harder cause I have to lean over him to type.  It is wonderful to think back on all the friends I've made.

Margaret, you will be at the top of my list of people to call when I come to Baltimore...at this point, sometime when it is warmer.  You have really found some great friends here on the Rain! (and so have I)!

I would love to but don't plan that far ahead. Heck, I don't even buy green bananas!

How about you coming to Baltimore!

This was a great post, Margaret!  You got me thinking.  I believe I'll have to change how I answer that question in the future.  I really thought you were making a wonderful point, and then I read Larry's spin on it.  LOVE IT!!!  I think that will be my answer from now on! To everyone!

Paula, Larry's answer is perfect. When someone calls and is kind of enough to ask "Are you busy? "  My answer is: "always time for you" or "never too busy for you."

Interesting and heart-warming post and awesome responses !

When someone asks me what I'm doing I usually tell them, LOL. 

I look forward to talking with friends and clients, and one of the best parts of real estate is talking investments and showing them properties ... Most of the clients remain in my social network for years after the transaction, and I like to think I treat my clients like I would my friends -- having their best interest at heart.

I like the response of "never too busy for you" Paula !   Thanks for posting that.
