A Typical Day In Real Estate-Do You Know What It Is?

By
Real Estate Agent with Integrity Real Estate Group

A typical day in real estateToday was just another day in real estate where no matter how hard I tried my schedule kept moving at a crazy pace.  After signing a new listing agreement my clients realized they were going to get another key made.  No problem we'll head to the local big box store to get one made. 

While we were at the store I grabbed two bags of salt for another clients water softener as I knew it needed to filled before settlement.  As I drove I fielded multiple phone calls from an agent with a client looking at another one of my listings who had a string of questions.  Yea for Bluetooth in the car.

Dropped off the salt and checked on the progress of the movers for tomorrows settlement.  Then it was a stop to put a lockbox on another new listing and take a few extra exterior photos since it had been raining the day I took the interior photos. 

Thinking I might be in the clear after almost a 100 miles of driving my email lights up with an offer on another listing.  Call the owner and arrange to stop at their place to review it. 

This is the reality show of the life of a Realtor® not the ones they show on TV.  Now was I supposed to eat sometime today?

Schedule for tomorrow?  Rinse and repeat.

Real estate and normal don't belong in the same sentence... LOL... I like that rinse and repeat statement.

There is nothing boring about our days, start with a to-do-list, knock off 10 things add twelve and start over the next day.

Cindy ~ Wash, Rinse and Repeat and don't forget the conditioner. Isn't it great to be busy in a bad down market?

Ha ha ... here is how my day went. Retrieve lockbox, hand off keys to buyer. Buy 2 feet of heavy duty chain, go to two stores to get a key made. Do an occupancy check in pouring down rain. Multiple cell phone drops because of storm ... and I know I'm missing about 4 hours here. Thanks for the laugh!

Every day is crazy for us. If people only new... A child care giver would be the only other person who I think does as much running around as we do!
