Inspiration for blogs come from the oddest places. William Johnson of San Diego, recently posted about the extent he goes to when staging a home. That alone would be fodder enough for a great post but then, I'd sort of be hijacking his idea. Nope, my inspiration came from a comment back to his readers. I thought it was brilliant..."while I don't expect miracles, I actually do"...
Isn't it the truth? Buyers and sellers really do expect miracles and we move heaven and earth to accomplish that. LOLOLOLOL, sometimes in SPITE of our clients! Use whatever analogy you want when considering the disruption to any smooth surface. One of my favorites is the pebble in the calm pond. There's always cause (pebble) and effect (ripples potentially into infinity). There isn't a real estate agent alive who doesn't know intimately that feeling in the pit of their stomach when the unexpected hurdle or fire that needs stomping occurs.
If we do our jobs right by keeping our super elastic superhero wits about us and rely on our carefully selected superhero professional team ...lenders, attorneys, inspectors, contractors, electricians, plumbers and handypeople ... and as long as we are working with truth, justice and the American way ... it isn't often we can't save the day, even if the day has to be delayed! With superhero REALTOR capes always close at hand, we constantly strive to absorb these out of the blue occurances with typical stoic Buddha-like calm (ohmmmmmm) while at the same time keeping clients in a zen-like state of tranquility. People who think the real estate profession is about unlocking doors need to be smote with mushy beets so the stain is a constant reminder of our true superhero status...well, some REALTORS have it anyway.
Unfortunately, in true superhero fashion, our superhero status isn't evident to most consumers. We manage to keep hidden the full stature of the crises from the client so as it avoid unnecessary premature panic while we slay the heretofore completely unknown phantasmal monsters of "deal" destruction. Oftentimes unbeknownst to our clients, the smoothest deals in our clients' eyes were the ones that kept us dancing as fast as we could.
What's our secret? Breathing deep and surrendering gracefully to the inevitable reality that there will be ripples in the glassy smooth pond, dealing with and not hiding from the ripples and constantly honing the superhero resource team that surrounds us so our clients can take advantage of the best problem solvers in the community.
Sometimes I wonder if keeping our superhero talents under wraps is a strategic business move. Guess that's a moot point now, lol, since with this post I've revealed the magician's trick...please expect miracles from MoonDancer Realty. When Leslie and I review our history, we've pulled off some great ones.
We keep our superhero capes pressed, ready and waiting to assist buyers and sellers in all of their real estate endeavors. Call MoonDancer Realty's hotline 828-631-0077 (affectionately known as 631-double oh seven...7) ;-D
