A Positive Spin on a Rainy Tuesday

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Charlemagne International Properties BRE# 01147470

Some much needed rain fell in Palos Verdes this morning, and for the first Tuesday in several weeks, I found there were no new listings I needed to preview on today's broker tour, so I happily spent time fulfilling promises made and yet undelivered.

It is amazing what you can do with the gift of two unexpected hours!

* Two requested market evaluations are ready to deliver. Can a new listing be far behind?

* Scads of emails were sent--catching up calls, new listing alerts and a couple of hope you're feeling better notes. It seems a pesky stomach bug is making itself at home in my Sphere of Influence...I hope my flu shot has that one covered.

* Appointments are set for tomorrow's showings.

* Comparable sales were sent to a buyer who is contemplating writing an offer.

* A touch base email was sent to the lender who is working loans for my current buyers.

* I sent a suggested list price for an upcoming listing (along with supporting comps and neighborhood statistics).

Sometimes a change of plans is just what my schedule and I need.

I have always loved the variety of my real estate career.

Reminds me of school days when we had a fire drill or a snow day...a change in routine is always nice!

Colleen, it keeps us on our toes.  I'm going to have to figure out how to add my photo to comments...

It almost makes it feel like a "playing hookie day", even though you did do work. Those are nice every once in a while.  Me?  I had to turn the heater on because it was so cold for my thin Southern California blood.

At least you were productive with your time.  That is the true sign of a winner to take an otherwise lazy time for others and be productive.

Heather -- I know, my heater ran all day long and my fingers and toes were still cold.  I'm a whimp when it comes to cold weather too!
