You Win Some and You Lose Some
That's probably about the most positive statement I can muster right now. I was supposed to have two settlements today. It seemed early in the day that both would work out. By 2pm, all hope of that was dwindling.
As tensions grew in the first seller transaction, I had to delegate the walk through of the buyer transaction to a very good friend and fellow agent. I wanted to be there for my first-time buyer, but his transaction wasn't troubled. I was needed urgently elsewhere to see if I could finally put my seller transaction to rest. Sometimes, you can do everything to the best of your ability and still have nothing to show for it at the end of the day but a headache.
The good news is, despite the seller transaction imploding, my first time buyer did settle on his home and was beaming when he was handed the key. I was able to make it to settlement and end the day on a positive note.
You win some and you lose some; in the end, it's how you play the game. I don't play dirty. I don't mess with peoples minds. I am honest. The world would be a better place if everyone operated this way. Dare to dream.
