Should Realtors Start Taking Steroids?

With many of the realtors having problems staying in their career they love, maybe realtors should turn to taking steroids. It worked for Mark Mcgwire who all of a sudden starting hitting 70 home runs.  It worked for Barry Bonds who broke the home run record.  Maybe it will work for you too.  Maybe we can partner with a lab.  Possibly Balco as they are looking for some more clients. 

  • We have to make sure that the steroids make us stronger so we can keep the buyers in our car until they write the check.
  • We have to make sure that the steroids make us faster so we can out run our competing realtors to the expired listings.
  • We have to make sure that the steroids make us bulkier so we can lift the sellers out of their house when they are being uncooperative.
  • We have to make sure the steroids make us scarier so we can scare our buyers into closing on a home rather than just making offers. 
  • We have to make sure the steroids don't shrink our brain so we can still satisfy the needs of our clients.
  • We have to make sure that no one finds out about the steroids or everyone will start doing it.
  • We have to make sure that if the National Association of Realtors finds out about it that we all deny it.  "We knowingly did not take any steroids".
  • We must make sure that we just don't deny that we took steroids, but we have to write a book about not taking steroids.

I believe if we resort to steroids the market will be better, and we as realtors will continue to make lots of money.  Like Latrell Sprewell said "We have to feed our family, I can't do it on this salary".

Barb, yes I guess Manny now has some time to get his real estate license.  Thanks for your comment.

Great thought.  I am not sure the mood swings from the roids and the roid rage would be conducive to the patience needed to sell homes to buyers but i think a lot of agents are pretty desperate to try anything that might work.

Hi David

Good stuff, the book to deny the roids use will provide additional income. Do we get on Oprah to promote the book?

Good luck and success.

Fun thoughts, but really scary to think of many of the Realtors enhancing their characteristics.  At least the athletes started with basic talent and skills.
