I awoke this morning to an offer faxed on company letterhead, complete with a preapproval. While the offer was low, it was clear that the selling agent had his act together. I spoke with him on the phone briefly, and he was, as I thought, a pretty together guy. In the ensuing conversation, he shared the following saying which resonated with me:

You want to be the first love, second marriage, and 3rd listing agent.

Funny, wise words.

I can't say I've ever heard it put that way! :)  I must also mention, what a great way to start your Sunday with an offer on the fax machine!

Don't forget me if you learn of anyone moving to "The OC!"

I have heard something similar to this before, at the least the first two.

Considering I am on my first marriage, I will respectfully disagree with it. :)
