Sometimes we go off the grid

By
Real Estate Agent with Atlanta Communities 303302

Sometimes we agents find a way to detach ourselves from the daily grind. Whenever I do that, I feel like I am playing hooky. I took the past 2 days off to attend to my wife who had surgery on Monday. I tried to respond to emails and texts, but for those two days I was pretty focused on the hospital.

I am back today catching up and already hearing from customers, where were you? Gosh, on one hand I appreciate the customers and clients needing me so much, and on the other hand it makes me think about how wrapped up in this business we can become. It truly can become a 24/7 business if you let it.

Well, I'm back and working with my customers and clients. I think it will take a few days to catch up, but for me, family always comes first, and I think my customers and clients are just fine with that.

I hope your wife is doing well. There are more important things that being instantly responsive to every message.

I agree with Roy Kelley she is number one. I had a client call me while driving two days ago and it was late afternoon, about 4:30. I told her I would get back to her as soon as I could. I called her the next morning at 9:00 am and she told me she had called another Realtor. She wants to purchase a home in my area but has to sell her condo first and it isn't even on the market yet. I do not see a sense of urgency.
