You Agents Work Hard
As real estate agents, we know how hard we work. Our friends and family know how hard we work because they see us working hard. And at times, they do not see us because we work so hard.
But, when a stranger acknowledges how hard we work, for some reason, we feel validated and appreciated. This is how someone made me feel today and it made my day!
I have a short sale listing in Lindenhurst NY that is due to close this coming Friday. It's been a long road: 2 years with this listing. (Details coming forth with a blog post to end all blog posts). I knocked on a neighbor's door to tell him the good news. He invited me in and boy, was he happy to hear the home next door is going to close!
The neighbor does taxes for a lot of industries and also for a few real estate agents. He sees first hand from his clients how hard they work for the money they make. And we do. It shows when our phone is always ringing. The barrage of text messages and emails that fly in and out of our cell phones. As I'm sitting there with him, my phone is going off left and right. "See, that is what I'm talking about" he says.
I tell him that the reason why our phones are busy is because us real estate agents make the phone ring. Whether it's by door knocking, postcard mailings, blogging and websites, we make the phone ring. There is no such thing as a "slow time" unless we choose it to be.
But, no matter what business we are in, most people work hard for the money they make and it's nice when it's recognized!
