New Jersey Realtor Committed Friday Night

868472_blue_phone_2 Mid-Week my cell phone rings and like clock work; it was my 7:30am daily call from my client.

Please do not feel bad for me because yes, I'm actually up and have been since 6am.

953219_my_cuppa_tea It's my usual routine that I have come to enjoy over the past month with her. Nothing out of the ordinary. I drink my coffee and discuss her home as she drives to work and battles the morning commute.

On Wednesday I'm asked the question that no realtor should ever be asked.

I believe If one is doing their job correctly than the following words should never be uttered from a clients mouth.

"Sarah", "Are you a committed realtor?"

My response came quickly. "Absolutely" I stated loud and clear!

My brain didn't have a chance to process a more sophisticated answer. What I really wanted to say was: "have you not read my top ten?"

"I knew you would say that" she responded, "Can you dog sit on Friday?"

DOG SIT??????

My whole image of the "Realtor Extraordinaire" came down to if I could dog sit or not.

Being the dog lover that I am, how could I refuse. CIMG1700

So there I was Friday night hanging out with two Yorkshire Terriers Sebastian & Oliver plus my two Pomeranians. What a sight!!!

All in all it was fun and I officially get to keep my title of being a committed realtor!

Only you Sarah!! I've not been asked to dog sit, but I have fed fish, watered plants and the best was keeping up with the Jersey tomatoes in the vegetable garden! Give a call when you can. lg

Oh, I would LOVE to babysit for those little cuties...LOL...babysit kids? Uh, I'm not THAT committed, but dogs, hey, why not? I would find it kinda fun. Quick question - does your client truly appreciate you? Just curious.

Committed? What does dog sitting have to do with being a committed realtor?

Chill out Donna!

It was meant to be a funny post but if you want to get technical, it shows that I go over and beyond the call of duty for my clients.

Laura:

Hey!!! How have you been? Miss you!

You've got me beat Laura! Keeping tomatoes alive would be a much harder task than dog sitting for me.
