I've been sick all week, and I must say, it's been one of my busier weeks in the past couple of months. My phone has been ringing off the hook. I try to ignore it and get some rest, but that didn't work. One of my buyers called 4 times in a 5 minute period, so I called her back and we put together an offer on a house. She constantly low-balls and each house she's written an offer on has had multiple offers, so we don't get it, and I should have just stayed in bed.
Another buyer I have been sending listings to since April decided she no longer wants a house $150-200k, but she wants 10-20 acres of land and she'll pay cash up to $1M!! I'm glad I called her back timely.
I have another buyer who wrote an offer on a short sale property. We're finalizing details there, but that commission is somewhere around $15k, depending on the final number, so I'm really glad I had the strength to call him back and deal with the bank.
Do others work this hard when they're sick?? Yes, I got bored just watching tv when my phone wouldn't ring for an hour, so I would check my emails and read a couple of blogs, but I really didn't have the strength to be working as much as I did this week. Oh, and I'm writing two offers today for a couple of new contruction homes.
This week was one of those times I wish I had an assistant, but I'm sure I would have been calling every hour to check on things as I'm a control freak! At least I actually slept through the night last night!
Hey Donna, Wow you have been busy. Wish you felt better. I actually prefer to work when I'm sick, helps take my mind off of how bad I feel. Hopefully all those commission will help you feel better.
