Are Realtors From Krypton?????

Are Realtors from Krypton????

 Krypton: the planet formerly known as the home of “Superman”.  Described as: “faster than a speeding bullet; more powerful than a locomotive; and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound”. Oh yeah, I’m talking about that Superman. One of the greatest superheroes known to comic lovers everywhere, his legacy will continue to live beyond our years. So why are we discussing the “Man of Steel”? Well, it’s simple. If we examine the life of Kal-El A.K.A. Clark Kent, you’ll find that he wasn’t all that “super” on his own planet. It wasn’t until he was placed on another planet, of ordinary, powerless people, that his extraordinary powers we revealed.   

No, Realtors are not from another planet! Realtor’s are ordinary people. They drink, eat, sleep, and walk just like the rest of us. This is what separates them from the cruel world we live in. When they step out their door and away from their ordinary lives, they walk into a world. A world filled with needs.  That is when these ordinary people become “extraordinary” Realtors.

This thought came to me as I was talking to a few of my Realtor associates, and we were discussing the ups and downs of the business. They began to share the disappointments and realities of being a Realtor. Now, when most people think of realtors, they think of the glitz and glamour of real estate. The $1 Million Closing etc., I will tell you this much it’s not all the glamour you think it is! The early Saturday mornings, the Sunday’s after church, the phone calls in the early hours of the morning, the knife that you find in the middle of your back from time to time. It’s a cut-throat world! 

As a Realtor, sometimes you have these kinds of clients: “McDonald’s french fries on the floor with spilled Diet Coke. Don’t even mention the Brewster’s Ice Cream. (I can’t believe that was strawberry). Now we have another car cleaning, not to mention the gas we bought, and they still bought a FSBO. The nerve!!!!!!” What about the seller that wouldn’t listen to any of the updates, repairs or lowering the price to $199,900 ( I told them it wouldn’t sell at $250,000…then they stated we’re not ready, next thing you know they relist it at $185,000 complete all updates and sell it in 10 days. The nerve!!!!!

"Those kids, those kids, they are soooo bad! Ooops kids aren’t bad, but they sure are close!!!” Let’s not start calculating the gas, time, mileage wear/tear not to mention the frustration that goes into being a realtor. One thing I can tell you is; there are some AWESOME agents out there that endure the rough and tough of the industry. They hustle, they go above and beyond, and nobody is taking notice.

Well, CONSIDER YOURSELF NOTIFIED!!!!!! Realtors Must Be From Krypton, because they are Superheroes in my book!
