Real Estate agents who take December off...

By
Real Estate Agent with Former Agent

I want this blog to serve as a personal thank you to the real estate agents who decide to take the month of December off to be with family.  We all know that spending time this month with family is very important and I also am going to be doing a lot of that but I also am going to be doing work, work that needs to be done.

The reason I write this thank you is that your decision to take the month of December off definetely benfits me greatly.  The buyers who are looking while you are out shopping at the mall are VERY serious and are definetely buying.

SO to all the real estate agents who decide to take the month of December off....I salute you!  Enjoy the time off and spend, spend, spend...the economy can always use a boost!

Until your return, I will be here holding down the fort and making sure that things are taken care of.  Don't you worry one little second about the market, I am going to make sure it stays fluid for you and that the government gets no more bad news about houses not selling!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Jeffery, well said and count me as one who is also thankful to others who have taken the month off.  Also, let's salute the serious sellers who allow us to properly price their properties and get them sold to the serious buyers.  We've matched three together in the past two weeks!

I will be working as well. However, I would rather take the month off.

Happy Holidays!

I agree Jeffrey,  even in some dismal markets there are buyers and sellers to be found.  The less realtors out there, the better it is for me.

Record month for me! Thanks! I got a call from a buyer last night - explaining her frustration that no agent was calling her back. Thank you I will take some time off in 2008.

I received a call from a buyer today at noon, showed the home at 3pm and wrote the offer at 6:30pm. I am still on the clock. Like the engergizer bunny, I keep going...and going...and going...

Funny, though, in my 22 years of working as a Realtor, I have not known anyone who took off the entire month of December.  I have taken off Christmas Day, always;)

I will also be balancing my time between family and work.  Here is hoping that there will be new clients out there for us in the next couple of weeks.
