A REALTOR Is Part Of The Circus But Not The Clown

Good analogy sir,

I would also think that juggler would be another position in the circus.

Great analogy Gary!

Unfortunately, their are far more clownsthan ringmasters! Let us not forget the LO's. For professional clowns you need Congressmen.

It seems more like demons than simple beast these days Gary. But, sound and solid advice as usual.

Cheers to your new year in 2011.

Hi Gary,

Juggling balls and staying out of the Ring of Fire is what it's all about! And just like "it ain't over until the fat lady sings," in our business, "it ain't over until it funds and closes!" I just love it when the curtain closes, don't you?

Hi Gary, some days it feels like a circus but not very often.  I like your analogy of the Ringmaster who keeps the show moving along.

I'd be the one in the ring spinning 10 plates all at once. That's my life.

Hi Gar, Yep, I would look really good in that hat, lol. Actually I look best in my Stetson ( when when coralling cats)  but the Ringmaster Hat is good. Great analogy. Happy New Year!

Hi Gary --- great title, really grabbed my attention.   Ringmaster or clown??  Ringmaster has a bit of a criminal sound to it and well, clown ---- not a good thing in most business activities.  As for the child in the photo --- another lesson in continuing education.

Gary - Sometimes it feels more like a zoo. Clown bad, ringmaster good. LOL

Hi Gary, Oh I like the sound of ringmaster... does that mean we get to wear the big hat so we can keep all our smaller ones underneath it?

:)

Gary~ I never quite thought of it, but I guess I would agree.  Ringmaster is the perfect description of what we do.   I hope you have a great New Year and very properous 2011

Funny picture - must have been the old math... haha.  You're right, we are all a bunch of ringmasters!

Gary, what a wonderful way of expressing it!  I've never felt like the clown.  The barker perhaps.

Hi Gary - Ringmaster describes it perfectly!  Especially when I am orchestrating inspections, repairs, maintenance on a vacant home, etcetera, in addition to herding the seller and buyers through the transaction to closing. Good analogy.

I enjoyed your analogy, and it is fitting.  There are thos eof us who are the ring masters, and those of us who jump through like trained circus dogs. The difference is waiting for the cues or taking command.

Ahhh, Ringmaster Ned from Bozo's Circus a Chicago favorite for years!  I'm surrounded by clowns that's for sure.

A good ringmaster can even control the clowns somewhat.  :)

Gary ~ I love the analogy of the ringmaster and REALTOR....and often we are the jugglers!

Too cute!

Love it! I definitely feel like a ringmaster much of the time. Thanks!
