YOU WANT TO BE A REAL ESTATE AGENT? PUT THIS ON!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with people first...then business Ran Right Realty 636943 licensed to thrill

You apply to take the test because you have dreams of wanting to help people either find a home sweet home or sell one. Perhaps you like the glamour of it all? Maybe you want the freedom to come and go which 9-5 jobs don't allow much for...

PREPPING FOR YOUR REAL ESTATE CAREER

Whatever your reasons are, you start studying for the test, taking the practice quizzes and then the big one... the license examination. Upon passing and within one week of doing so, a package should arrive at your door which includes the following:

CONGRATULATIONS

A full natural skin full body Armour with instructions on how to wear and what it will or wont do. It has to be assembled via zippers. Sleeves zip to the body vest and pant legs to the body shorts. This is designed so you can get in or out of it quickly and for the appropriate weather conditions

SUIT-UP AND THEN CARAVAN, POUND PAVEMENT OR MEET-UP

Think: Superman before he suits up is really Clark Kent in disguise. However, when duty calls, he has to change clothes and off he goes. This suit is designed for action and is sort of a second skin. Enables the wearer to get in or out of any unplanned or planned Real Estate trauma/drama

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

1.  Remove when entering your home. Remove before getting a full nights rest. Do not sleep or eat in this suit. Napping and snacking is allowed however. Wash in warm water. Hang dry?

2. Guaranteed to help you survive attacks from against gossip, misunderstandings, tirades, failed maneuvers, false promises and emotional, mental, psychological assaults up to twice a day

3. Rated a plus 7 for difficult clients, transactions and verbal assaults. Won't fold under pressure

4. Effective against attacks of any kind from other agents. NOTE: If they are wearing their suit, your suit will neutralize there's (and there's yours) and hold until you can both clear the area. Extra rear padding mitigates ambush, back-stabbing or didn't see this coming maneuvers

5. Rated a 10 against deep penetrating hurt from not getting a listing from a neighbor, family remember or friend who chose another agent and who we all knew should have chosen you. Performs well in presentations, document signing and closing table arenas

6. Effectively protects against people who waste your time, want you to work for free and try to reduce your hard earned commissions. Allows one to breath easy when necessary and move on

7. DELUXE MODEL: There is also a premium model that self-inflates too in case you mistimed the traumatic event  and went skinless. Excuse yourself for a moment, enter into a private area, pull the red cord marked emergency composure and it embraces you head to toe. Then, head back into the arena. Helps to put an instant stop and or repel unreasonable requests or actions by releasing tiny microscopic feather fibers that allow you laugh or grin depending on setting

TIRED OF BEATINGS AND BLOWS?

This suit is designed so that when and if you have to take the once in a while Real Estate beating or blow that come with this profession, you will be able to survive with little or no harm and reduces all episodes to a really good story. Allows one to start fresh and anew...too!

Guaranteed to get you past the five year mark or allows you to leave with minimum wear & tear

Very entertaining! I never thought about our thick skin as being a suit of armour!

Great stuff Richie!  Thick skin is a must in this business.  If you don't have it, get it!

I love this post! Having a thick skin is the only way to survive. No one wants to have an Onion represent them in a sale - there can be no tears!

Having the right suit for the business takes precedence over any new technology. People may think High Tech sells, but if you don't suit up, as you described, all that technology is a waste of money.

Thanks Richie! I will always remember you and your wisdom.

I believe some of us do better when it comes to having a thick skin than others. Unfortunately in most situations it is a requirement.

Thank you for commenting on my post.

Hi Ritchie,

This is a cute post and gave me a laugh and of course reminded me of a few incidents that made me wonder if this was the job for me. 99% of my clients are wonderful but I have had a few that I needed strength to get through the day without blowing my top. Have a happy and peaceful weekend.
