Guzzling my third cup of coffee, I am preparing for a very busy day. I will be showing property to a young Marine. We have been speaking via email for a while now so I feel pretty confident I know what to expect.

What I didn't expect was him to call me and say;

"Is it ok, if two of my friends come, they really need a good Realtor. They need to purchase a home too."

Let me think? Of course, I said.

He went on to explain that the two friends were also Marines and their wives weren't coming into town for three weeks.

He told me they had been approved by the same lender he was using but they hadn't been able to find a good Realtor.

Good Gravy! (that is southernese for YIPPEE).

So now I am planning a day of showing property to THREE buyers, two in the 180-200K range, and one in the 215-245K range.

I admit, this isn't a typical situation; however, I understand the limited time of Marines. I also understand that if one trusts you, then so does his friends.

So at 12pm we will all pile up in my car and off we go. I have prepared buyer packages for all three, stocked up on bottled water, AND a camera so they can send pictures to their wives.

Now, I also have a brand new puppy who has been in my arms for just about three days straight. I am not sure who will have the hardest time with attachment issues:).

But all in all, what great issues to have!
