Folks think being a Realtor is all about showing homes. How small minded that is....a typical Realtor day is anything but. What you had planned probably doesn't go the way you think - so here's a bird's eye view of what today was like for me.
Sleep to 7:15.... reality: my partner called at 5:45 am cause she's at a financial seminar in Orlando, Fl and wanted to talk to me about something before she had to be at the seminar. So much for sleeping.
Get ready for the day....reality: phone rang in the middle of getting ready so I forgot to put on my earrings - felt half dressed without all my bling.
Received an amendment on newest contract....reality: met with seller to sign amendment and found out we couldn't get HVAC folks to come til Monday; Energy Audit is scheduled for Sunday; Option period ends Tuesday....seller countered amendment but can't send it back til we get the estimate on the HVAC.
Received a counter on latest offer I wrote for my "homeless buyer"...reality: my buyer was in a wreck yesterday and is emotionally distraught - hard for her to follow my conversation. Can we meet later?
Having lunch with one of my agents at 11:30....reality: ACTUALLY got to eat lunch without interruption.
Going to see my buyer to have counteroffer discussion...reality: my seller called another energy audit company and they can do the audit now - ok I'm only 2 minutes away. My buyer is put on the back burner...
Audit complete, report due tonight.....reality: AUDIT took only 30 minutes and I can still get to my buyer at a reasonable time.
Met my "homeless buyer" to discuss the counter offer....reality: Must console her about the wreck, repeat myself several times as her emotional state has her brain not functioning, get the counter offer signed, discuss if she really wants me to send it back today or wait until she has time to think about it....GOT THE OK TO SEND COUNTER OFFER TO listing agent.
Drive home to send counter offer...reality: GET IT SENT and then must begin answering emails that have accumulated while I've been away from the home office. It's 4:00 pm and I'm exhausted!
As all veteran Realtors know....I can't make this stuff up! It Happens!
