Over-Caffeinated Realtors @ Work

By
Real Estate Agent with The Benya Group 618516

     I work very long hours in real estate.  The benefit to it is that my clients are consistently impressed with my availability and my results, turning around paperwork quickly, and constantly scheduling appointments, writing contracts, blogging, etc.  The downside is that it's very draining. 

     Of course I don't let my clients see how exhausted I get.  They don't want groggy, disheveled Realtors representing them.  They want perky, pleasant, and attentive agents on their side.  I don't want to disappoint them, I want happy clients, so I give them a happy Realtor.

    My secret vice:  Caffeine!  I'm drinking chemicals I can't even pronounce (Sodium Hexametaphosphate?  Really??), and it tastes terrible.  I've never actually chugged Nitrous Oxide, but if I did, it would probably taste similar to an energy drink.

    The upside to it is that it does a better job of keeping me awake than gluing my eyelids open.  I don't worry about it tasting good.... The less I think about the taste, the better.

I just started my second pot of coffee. I love the way coffee tastes, especially our coffee. We get our coffee from the farmers in Wood Valley on the Big Island in the Ka'u District. Kau Coffee is quickly becoming one of the best known and award winning coffees world wide. I love it. I don't know if I can give the coffee credit for my happiness, though. Cheers.

Jonathan, I think nitrous oxide is the laughing gas they give you at the dentist office, but coffe - now there's a drink.

I enjoy 2 or 3 cups of coffee in the morning.  Then, in the summertime, I love an iced coffee in the afternoon.  It keeps me going, and going, and going......:)
