Buyers. With each meeting you bring patience, are dressed professional, have Tide to Go for the white shirt/coffee accidents, breath mints, and whatever else you need to look great while searching for homes.
One Saturday, you are knee deep in playing with the kids or out running errands like crazy or even off doing something with friends. Whatever it is, you are out and not even thinking about working.
"Hello?" Buyers calling...absolutely insist that we meet at THE house - family wants to see - they may want to write an offer. "What do you mean later or "gasp" - the next day?"
I mean - you should see what I am wearing - am miles away from home and even longer from getting dressed up with everything needed. Later or tomorrow would be better...I say. But they beg for the "later" option "please hurry - and don't worry about what you are wearing - we don't care."
Doing enough to get there without impactingwhat's already going on and dressed for what's planned afterwards - I'm not dressed up but like the outfit! During the showing, the Seller happens to be driving by to check on the house. She was really dressed up with "where did you get those" shoes on! After asking, "May I help you?" she states, "I am the owner - where is your Realtor?"
Ahhhh ... a moment where I am going to have to wear this outfit like I mean it! "Right here!" Assuring the owner all is well, here is a card, introduce the Buyers and answering all her questions - she finally leaves saying, "Well let's hope you know how to write an offer!"
End of story - both sides closed happily. Though it is important to look our best, "dress for success" and look professional, there are times that it just isn't going to happen exactly the way we'd like.
What matters more is to focus on who you are and how you carry yourself when these imperfect moments happen. Happy Tuesday to all!
Spring is blooming in Maryland.
