Waiting for Roger Mucci and a Sofa to Arrive....

 

Do I wish I could walk into Roger Mucci's furniture store and buy another sectional sofa? 

You bet your beegeepers I do! Alas that isn't possible so I had to rely on a local vendor and trust me they don't have the personality that Mr Mucci does - by a long shot!  Mind you, they're nice folks and have good quality products but is was just a transaction with no pizzazz.  Nobody to tease me or make off the cuff 'out there' remarks. In short just not fun.

 

 

I can think of a zillion crazy stories he's shared with all of us on AR. The latest one that cracked me up was about a credit card and telling the folks he had to keep the card and call the police.  Still cracking me up! That got me to thinking.....ok I know some of you are going to say.....NO Banana NO....don't get started! Thinking too much isn't good for you!

 

I like to have fun while working with my peeps!  Everybody enjoys laughing and enjoying a few jokes in the process of buying or selling a home.  Ok almost everybody.

 

 

This past week was no exception for the fun game.  A sweet couple referred to me by another client/friend has wanted to move to Scottsdale for years.  While we were looking at what turned out to be the home they bought, we had some fun as soon as we walked in the door.  It is a gorgeous European style home with a lot of interesting amenities and features. One of them was an open 'bar' area that opened up to the kitchen.  So I walked up to the 'bar' and said "I'll have a fine Cabernet, please". The wife chimed in and said "Make that a Merlot for me". And the husband even got into the fun and said  " Two eggs easy up please".  Everybody laughed and went on to enjoy the home.

 

Last night another client emailed regarding a new listing that popped up.  She emailed me and asked if it was for real that the HOA fees were over $1000 a month Can you see the FUN coming on now?  So I replied yes it includes maid service, a personal chef every night, a chauffeur as needed, as well as a massage twice weekly!  She replied LOL!  Of course she knew I was just kidding!  And indeed the HOA fees are over $1000 a month so she'll pass on that complex. But we had fun with it!

 

 Thanks Roger Mucci for bringing so much fun to the rain!  Love ya buddy! 

 

Fun sure makes life and business  so much more enjoyable and FUN!

I agree with David - for $1,000 a month you should be getting some SERIOUS perks! 

Meanwhile... as long as you're having fun, your clients are having fun -  and that's a good, good thing!

I wouldn't want to be in this business without humor.  I love the open bar story, I'm going to have to share that one.

I don't usually kid about these things because I'm worried buyers will take me seriously. I might say for that price they should include...

Paul Henderson the goal is to find the dream home and have an enjoyable time on the journey.  I guess that goes along with the saying people are as happy as they decide to be!

Dick Greenberg I read your other posts this week and they cracked me up. I figured it would be fun to keep the Roger D. Mucci love going on and on  - thus the sofa title!  It's all your fault

Kat Palmiotti that's is a high HOA fee for sure!  That's why I had to make up a ridiculous answer. It was just way to out there....

Tammie White when it's so beyond beyond the only place I go is have fun with it.  My clients know me and that when it's time to be serious I'm dead serious. Knowing when and how far is the key to making it a fun journey for all.

Roger D. Mucci has more personality in his little finger than most people I know and as an interior designer, I know he has to have quite the sense of humor in the furniture business-there are definitely a lot of wackos out there!

Anna Banana Kruchten A sense of humor is a must.  I had the pleasure of meeting Roger in person at a meet up in New York.  I can tell you he is even funnier in person.  (Have tried for 2 days to @Roger but it isn't working for me!)

Anna, Having and maintaining a sense of humor gets us through some tight spots but also allows some FUN to happen along the way. Your clients surely loved the process as you know how to bring it! I also love Roger D. Mucci, he is an amazing human!
