Like most of you when I started my RE career I was told by everyone, "its all about relationships".
I am in my sixth year now and I have long since been convinced that all of those well minded people were and are correct. I would like to speak briefly about some of the strongest relationships that I have formed.
First my relationship with my smart phone. Its not a perfect relationship, but most relationships most are not. If I am outside, of course I must find shade or shield the screen to read anything. Not that smart. I remember once about 10 years ago when I lost my son in a Target store for about 3 minutes. I panicked, a little, but at the same time I knew he was just down an isle I had yet to check. But, loose my smart phone for three minutes and I start to sweat and become convinced that the other agent was finally calling me back and I was missing the call. Now I talk on my phone at least an hour each day while my soon to be sixteen year old son gives me about 15 seconds each day. Am I closer to my phone than my son? just not sure.
Next is old number 3. Gas pump number 3 that is. I buy gas at the same place two or three times each week. Same pump each time. Each time I stand there and think about how the pump, like my son has just drained another 30 -50 dollars from my ATM card.
Finally there is my Laser Jet color printer. Works great every time, and even warns me when an outrageously expensive color cartridge is about to run dry. Seems to happen every month or so, probably because I use it everyday. Of course then, like old number 3 and my son, my ATM card gets drained again. Very thoroghly I might add.
There are other relationships of course. My battery challenged Lock Box key, my lap top which thinks it has a right to stop working just because I drop it and of course my GPS whose favorite word is Recalculating. Yes, no doubt it is a relationship business.
In a day or two I will tell you about some of the human relationships I have formed in this business and how they to look to further drain my ATM card
