This will not be a piece about Creedence Clearwater Revival. Unless you want it to be, in which case skip down to the end. No, this is about umbrellas.
Realtors want to be prepared and helpful, mainly because being prepared and helpful often leads to getting paid. Make no mistake, many of us are just naturally helpful people who also happen to be prepared, with umbrellas and flashlights and a fresh bottle of water, but that doesn't remove the getting paid element from the equation. We love it, but it's a job.
Buyers, if you are going to go looking at houses on a rainy day, please note the following: small umbrellas won't protect you and large umbrellas have to be stored across your legs in the back seat where your socks will get drenched. It's your call. Oh sure, there are some smart agents who have figured out that if they carry the Totes for themselves and let you have the gargantuan golf umbrella, they can let you get into the car, take the umbrella from you and put it in the trunk, using the Totes to get themselves into the driver's seat and then putting the Totes on the floor next to them. All very crafty. You know you're in the presence of greatness when that happens, and you should do whatever it takes to keep that agent happy by buying at least two houses from her. Seriously. And tell her I told you to.
****Creedence Clearwater Revival--Willy and the Poor Boys is a great album. That stuff never sounds old. And don't miss checking out John Fogerty's newer stuff. It's just as good.
