I’m already running late today, and that's a good thing!!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Richard Weisser Realty

I’m late today but it is not my fault!The real estate business does not always run on a fixed schedule. There are times when even the best laid plans must be set aside.

The phone started ring EARLY this morning and during each conversation more numbers were beeping in the Caller ID display.

As a result, I am already running over an hour late. And it looks like it is only to get worse from here.

Being busy is a GOOD thing. Being overwhelmed is a little bit daunting.

But that’s just the normal day in the life of a real estate broker.

Richard, the unpredictability of this business can present a huge challenge at times, and I admit, I feel overwhelmed sometimes when a bunch of unrelated things happen at the same time.

Good morning Richard,

It is good to be behind when it comes to phone calls and emails but not for the appointments.

Make yourself a great day.

Oh that is so true of Monday mornings especially! I always know it's gonna be a wild day when it's hard just to get showered, dressed and out the door in between calls, texts & emails. Have a good one!!!

It does beat waiting for the phone to ring.  Lately, many of my days are filled also.
