A Perfect '10'

By
Real Estate Agent with Atlas Property Group and Abbey Church Properties

The idea of perfection is subjecctive as well as dynamic depending upon the situation.  Very few people would disagree that Bo Derek was a '10'. Even I wouldn't argue that despite being a very heterosexual female. So short of Bo Derek what constitutes being a perfect '10'?

Again, perfection depends upon what you're describing and who you're asking.  I've submitted offers on houses that I would certainly not care to own but the buyers are in love with the property.  I have owned houses that seemed perfect for my family but once lived in quickly became less than perfect. 

We have probably all had the experience of a friend who is absolutely infatuated with a new love interest while we are privately saying, "Really? What on Earth does he/she see in that person?" Likewise, some of us have been in our friend's position but sadly the new loved one is evenutally seen as far, far less than perfect.  Thankfully, I have been blessed by having a relationship with someone who was acutely aware that I am decidedly not perfect, but I was perfect for him.

It seems then that perfection is indeed in the eye of the beholder. It may even have a lot to do with attitude. If you are flexible, non-judgemental, easy going, and positive then a wide variety of experiences can be perfect.  I think that developing some of those traits will make 2010 a perfect '10'.

I have always thought to be a perfect 10, houses have to be running down a beach with braided hair. (Toward Dudley Moore.)

...which I don't see too often...

I think this year will be a perfect ten.  So far it feels like 2004 when I sold three homes on Super Bowl Sunday.........Bring it on!
