THE DOG ATE MY COMMISSION!
I'm a dog lover.  We own two basset hounds.  Absolutely adorable.  Most of the time anyway.... yesterday the youngest, "Flash" was not in good form.  He's a chewer and took to the contents of my purse, which was unwisely set on the counter within his oddly long reach when he rears up on his hind legs.  I came upon him, the contents of my purse, and money strewn across the kitchen floor.  Caught in the act, with a $20 dollar bill, or should I say the remains of it, hanging out of his mouth.
After disciplining him, cleaning up the mess, and reveling in anger for about 5 minutes, I thought "what life lesson can I pull from this?"  Yes, the obvious.... NOTE TO SELF - DO NOT LEAVE PURSE ON KITCHEN COUNTER!  But when I thought about it even further, I thought "what are the things that "eat" our profits?
For sellers it could be  unwisely passing up the offer to purchase that just came in, with hopes for an offer just a bit higher.  In the end to find out that another offer won't present itself for 3 additional months, meaning more payments and less proceeds at closing.
For buyers it ... more
