Well....I'm Not One To Talk....

By
Industry Observer

Actually, anyone who knows me knows that I do indeed talk - I love conversation, debate, small talk.  And in the real estate business, much of what I do all day long involves talking, whether to buyers, sellers, lenders, title company people, inspectors, repair vendors, other agents.  Oh yes, my day involves a whole lot of talking.

Except when it doesn't.  I caught the cold that has been going around through my family and friends, and along with the sniffles and coughing, I have totally lost my voice.  I mean when I try to talk, all that comes out is this pitiful little squeak of a voice - totally not understandable even if I am standing right next to the person I am trying to talk to.

Well, that's an interesting development!  (Not!)  But I am finding that since most all of the people I am working with currently text and email, I can still do quite a bit of communicating.  And there is always the good old point, gesture, "act out the meaning" kind of communications.  Or when all else fails, I can text my son and have him be my spokesperson.

So for now, I'm really not one to talk.  But I sure hope my voice comes back soon (though my husband seems curiously OK with my quiet ways! LOL)

Thanks Erv - I'll try to take your advice....green tea has been really soothing too! Resisting the urge to try to talk is the hardest part for me... Lol

I've had people call me on the phone and I've let it go to voicemail, then I would send them a text telling them why I didn't answer.. Always get a LOL and no problem, then we go on to what they called about.

Hi Todd - yep I was letting all my calls go to voice mail so I could text them with the info about my "no voice" predicament. It's been very entertaining to my clients - though I'm happy to report that today I at least have kind of a squeaky, croak of a voice back!
