It’s Friday Night … and Real Estate Goes On and On

Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Realty South WA State: 75600

This is a never-ending business. We work until all hours of the night and yet most agents I know feel so blessed to be working the way we do.

This evening, after a long day at the computer, punctuated by breaks to play ball with the dogs, I met with a new client and helped him begin to dial in to the area and home to which he’d like to relocate his family. (What other business lets you take a break to play with the dogs?)

Then home to a glass of wine, a bowl of popcorn, and a bit more work.

And I love it. It’s invigorating. It’s a lot of fun.

But now it’s time for the TIVO and a few moments catching up on my favorite shows. … and maybe another glass of wine.

Just another Friday night in the life of a real estate agent.

Yes, after a last minute closing and cleanup, I am enjoying a movie at home with the family.

Yes, it's true. We work at all hours of the night. Here I am, plopped down on the sofa, with Jay Leno on TV, my laptop on my lap (commenting on Active Rain), and a glass of wine at the end table. How appropriate that you should add that picture.

It's been a trying day (got into a disagreement with a rude lender who yelled at me then hung up!), rushed in the morning to find a handyman for an emergency job tomorrow, back and forth conversations with other agents, setting up Docusign for clients to sign disclosures, etc.

Long day, late night, and early morning wake up time. That's life!

Michelle: Doesn't it just feel good to sit down and watch a movie? What a rare event!

Pacita: You were up way later than I was last night. I finally packed it all in around 11. Some days ... especially after the one you had, a glass of wine is so deserved!

Gabrielle, a toast to you! I find myself working very random hours, but then there is the flexibility to do something in the middle of the day with my daughter and grandchildren. It works for me! Friday I was drinking a glass of wine and also catching up on TV shows with Frank and our TIVO :)
