What Language Are You Speaking?

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Ward County Notary Services 607851

Sometimes "Realtor Speak" is a foreign language.

A client, or potential client, is most often NOT impressed when we speak REALTOR as it is a foreign language to them. They want you to explain in their terms (terms they understand). If you don't they will nod their heads as if they understand and then they will go find a Realtor they CAN communicate with.

The following clip is the funniest job interview skit I ever remembered and I remember it from back many, many years ago on the Tracy Ullman Show. It is 2 minutes but I think you will find it hilarious. 

When we meet a client for the 1st time it is a job interview. While this "potential" hire is not talking gibberish it's fun to watch.

Thank you Will Hamm . Timmothy does an amazing job day in and day out especially when you consider he goes to college full time and supplies comics to two newspapers.

OMG - HYSTERICAL!

I had not seen it before. If I had I do not remember 😲

Perhaps it is so funny to me today because ... well, you know.

I don't think I missed a Tracy Ullman show when she was on the air here Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist . She also had a very good 50's - 60's style rock album that had the best version of "Bobby's Girl" I'd ever heard. 😊.

Thank you for the feature in Crap-Tacular.

That was so hilarious, Bob "RealMan" Timm

Thank goodness, I haven't had to be interviewed by anyone for a long time! I wouldn't know what to wear,🙃 let alone how to talk superficially impressive. 

The skit reminds me of the old "Laugh-In" show in the '70s when at the end of the show, Arte Johnson would smile, holding a cigar, and say, "It's very funny but stupid!" LOL!!

It also reminded me a little of Laugh In but her show was a full variety show like Carol Burnett Aura Alex and the skits were always good. I believe it ran from the late 80's to the early 90's, about 5 years. I was going to say it's been a long time since I was interviewed as well but isn't that what we do whenever we ask for a potential clients business?

Bob "RealMan" Timm - was the show in the 80s? You're probably correct, and it seems so long ago. Yes, Carol Burnett was one of my favorites too. I loved all characters, especially Tim Conway! 😆

Tim Conway's ability to keep a straight face was amazing Aura Alex . It was obvious he could crack up all the others on stage and still not lose it himself.
