It doesn't really matter whether it's a weekday or the weekend, a work day can appear suddenly. We real estate agents might think we're going to have a day off, but when a client asks to see a house for sale, I'm sure I'm not the only one who will give up what I thought was going to be a day off.
I returned phone calls and then went up to Utica to show a couple of houses, we looked at a HUD home and a bank owned listing. While in Utica, I drove by another property that a different buyer had asked about and found out it's listed by an agent who isn't in our MLS. So, that's why I couldn't find it. From there I went to Newark to meet another buyer who was looking at a HUD home.
While in Newark, I got an e-mail from another buyer wanting to make an offer on a short sale property we had looked at. I stopped at the grocery store for a few things and then headed home. I was going to stop at the garden center and get some seeds for the garden, but it was packed. I'll wait until Monday.
Once I got home, I typed up the offer for the short sale property and e-mailed it off to the buyer for review. I'll meet with them tomorrow for signatures when I go to Zanesville to show a different property to another buyer.
I've had a busy "day off" and it's only 4:30pm.

It's sounds like the normal day off for most of us... But a REAL Day away to Refresh would be so good for you and your clients.
cheers

It's very difficult to stay on schedule in this business as sometimes we do have to accomodate last minute requests. When I assemble my army of underlings to do my bidding, this will no longer be a problem.

Thanks for the comments Nor, Virginia, Malcolm and Susan.
When I take a REAL day off, I will share that as well. My teenage son keeps asking when we're going to Cedar Point.

Tracie- Being a Realtor is definitely not a 9-5 job, is it. I've done consultations on weekends but thankfully have not had to do a vacant staging then. Hope you do take some time off... real time off!
