In the real estate business, there is a time to press forward, to push, to be assertive. And then there is the time to pull back and wait for all the pieces in the puzzle to come together. At that point in time, you have done what you could and now the "approvals" or "acceptances" is up to others.
THIS IS A DIFFICULT PART OF OUR BUSINESS
In real estate we try to anticipate all the next steps that our clients or "the other side" will take and have a plan waiting to take a transaction to the next step.
Sometimes information comes to you mid-transaction which makes you alter or change the course of the transaction.
Sometimes there is just nothing else you can do but twiddle your thumbs.
MY THUMBS DON'T LIKE TO TWIDDLE.
Oh yes, there is lots I can do to keep busy like writing this blog, call some other clients, do some research, etc. but there is that feeling that if I start any of them, I will miss that moment in time where I can pounce back on the transactions and take them to the next step.
WHY DOES TIME DRAG BY AT THESE TIMES?
OK, enough introspection, back to work. And there is plenty of it right now. Almost like everyone wants to get into the real estate market before the end of the year. Which is fine with me. After all, I hate to twiddle my thumbs.
