Sitting here watching it snow, I have been thinking about the telephone calls and emails we REALTORS answer daily. A buyer asking for comparables for a home he viewed. A seller asking when is the best time to list his home. A buyer questioning why he needs to sign more documents for an REO owned purchase agreement he wrote with me yesterday. A buyer asking about condo fees. A buyer wanting the name(s) of lenders we recommend. A husband asking what is for dinner. A builder wanting an explaination as to why an agent didn't show up with his client for their appointment. FaceBook members wanting to be our friend. A client offering a recommendation to his friend to hire you to represent him purchasing his first home on Linked In. Boy, I am tired just thinking about all we do, BUT I feel good! I am proud to be a real estate professional. I answered their questions, laughed with most of them over the loudsy weather in NE Ohio today, and helped two folks work out their concerns about the counter offers they received from purchase agreements submitted in the past two days.
REALTORS don't just list and sell homes. REALTORS are consultants or coaches, responsive, therapist, anger consultants, wives & mothers or husbands & dads, computer literate, "hand holders", wizards at telling someone their house smells (in a polite way), decorating consultant, co-operative, attentive, fact finder, diplomatic, caring, etc. The next time someone questions what we do, I plan to say just about everything! REALTORS are your best friend when selling or purchasing a home but don't think their job stops there.
