Wait a Minute ... Who Am I Talking To?

I am, thankfully, getting really busy once again.  I am working with many different buyers and I am showing a lot of houses.  It is getting difficult to keep things straight.  I had some odd things happen during phone calls lately.  I have spoken before about how incredibly visual I am.  I don't remember if that is a left brain right brain thing but when I talk about a person or think about a house I have shown, I form a picture in my mind in order to fully address the voice on the phone.  Even someone I have not met has a mental clue card, sort of an avatar of my own design, but a picture none the less.  Lately my pictures have been slow to come or confused because of high traffic.  Please excuse me while I adjust the picture.

Yes, if you call for feedback on the listing I showed last week it might just be too late unless I am in front of a computer so I can pull up the listing or I still have the printed listing in my file and that file with me.  I need to "see" the house in order to remember.  Street numbers and names have no meaning.  You might be surprised to hear me ask what color was it or does it have a long driveway?  I just have to see in order to access my mental "file drawer" for what I have shown.  Please try to call or email for feedback as soon as possible after a showing or I may have lost your listing in the pile!

There You Are, Now I Remember!

It can be quite upsetting to me to be halfway through a conversation with someone and realize that my mouth is talking to one person but the picture in my mind has me thinking about someone totally different.  I sometimes find myself feeling awful, even though I don't think the person on the other end can guess, but it is happening a lot more with the increase in business.  It makes me stumble sometimes because I am just about ready to open my big mouth and talk about a house that this caller has been interested in and my slow brain finds the right "clue card" and I catch myself before I insert my foot into my big mouth.  

Not that I am complaining about being busy.  I actually think my creative juices flow more freely when my world is a blur of confusion.  I just have to remember to write everything down or it gets thrown into the pile of pictures in that messy brain of mine and may never be found again.  I still say keep 'um coming and I will find a way to keep up!
