The most challenging client of all

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner 01293735 CA

The past week I have been showing homes to my husband. He is my most challenging client of all. My husband is a wonderful man, but as far as looking at homes, he has taught me alot. My husband is disabled with CIDP so even looking at 1 or 2 homes is difficult plus he has trouble walking and with balance.

The first home we looked at took over an hour. He even had me pull my car into the garage to see how it fit. Then we go to the model home and of course, that's one he likes. Then we go to the lots. Like most of our clients, he wants the most expensive lot which is for sure out of our price range. I was laughing so hard.

I also learned alot about moving slower, giving my clients more time, asking them questions rather than tellinng them all they need to know. I also learned that even though I think my clients are slow at making decisions and signing contracts, they are sure faster than my husband.

The most challenging client of all - my husband!!!

Lori -  you are one brave soul!!!  I don't 'invite' my husband along until I've found the place to move to and then I say to him:  "Is there any reason you wouldn't want to live here on 23rd March at 4pm? "   :)

PS  I had to look up CIDP and discovered what a challenge your husband and you are having to deal with.  GB
