My Last 3 Weeks in Hawaii Were Very Productive

By
Real Estate Agent with Elizabeth Anne Weintraub, Broker DRE #00697006

This particular trip to Hawaii I did not make it to the beach. The days I had planned to go, it rained. But there will be other days and other trips. It is OK. I was able to focus on my Sacramento real estate business and missed all of the cold weather and rainstorms in Sacramento. While I initially thought my last 3 weeks in Hawaii were relatively slow in terms of market conditions, I actually accomplished quite a bit.

Looking at MLS, I see I listed / relisted 8 homes, put 3 into pending status and working on a couple more offers. Closed about a half dozen, and scheduled a bunch of appointments to visit sellers next week for pre-listing inspections.

I only turned down 2 listings. Not because I wasn't in Sacramento but because the sellers were not a good fit for my personality. One guy demanded a price way higher than he's ever gonna get, said he has bipolar tendancies, lives in Thailand and is suing his former agent. The other couple had too much drama coming out the wazoo and one of them allegedly is addicted to meth or coke. No, don't need that in my life

I love that cute little critter!  He's adorable.  

Yeah, no one has time for the drama;  sometimes I wonder if I should have stuck with certain clients longer, but in the end I always decide I'd rather free up my time for good clients instead of being made weary by the drama kings and queens.

Elizabeth, you DID have a productive month, and I would have turned down those two listings too.   WAY too much drama for any agent!

Susan Haughton I'd say about half of my transactions involve a little bit of drama in one way or the other.

Joan Cox No wonder my Hawaii neighbor hates me. Don't know if I would like to live in close proximity to a rock-and-roll-made-me-deaf real estate agent on speaker with all the windows open, LOL.
