I have one client that others think is difficult.  Maybe we are good for each other.  I am difficult too.

If you haven't been paying attention, the market is down in Columbus OH.  It is a buyers market, especially for investment property.

Anyway, I went to a meeting today where I thought my bank client was going to can me.  This would have been a loss of 38 listings.  Ooops !!

We discussed my capacity.  We discussed marketing options.  We discussed general brokerage vs. auction (online only specifically).  We discussed the board meeting they had last night.  Ooops !!

I need to say that I love my difficult client.  The board wanted to hire 3 other brokerages to split the work.  He said no, no way, not going to happen.  In his opinion, 1 point of contact is the way to do it.  I guess it helps that my office is only a mile away.

Now I am here to get fired, or so I thought.  Instead, I am told that there are up to 118 REO listings coming up.  What ???

Here is the point, because this can't all be about my ego....

Fair pricing, honesty, hard work.  That's what the client says anyway.  Hmmm......  What happened to good looks and B.S.?

Maybe the Grumpy Hat and Shrimp Sticker were good luck.
