What Does a Rice Cooker Have to do With Real Estate . . .

Great analogy for your clients.  Solid reason why buyers need you.

Cute analogy. But it's good to know how to make rice on the stove too, in case the electricity goes out. In Hawaii it happens.

Carla, good analogy and now you have the perfect idea for a closing gift! Lol

Just add Carla Muss-Jacobs, Principal Broker/Owner and you have a perfect Real Estate transaction! We use our rice cooker at least once a week and have for about 18 years.

You run the risk of buring, or I guess in real estate being burned if you go it on your own. 

Carla, when my wife and I moved to India to work one of the first things we bought was a rice cooker. So, I understand well your analogy. Sometimes there is a better and more productive way of doing things. We just need to get past thinking we already know everything.

Thanks for a great post.

Carla,  Boiling, burning, cooking up rice and real estate deals. We all need the right tools to get the job done. Buyers need a agent that knows how to cook up a perfect real estate transaction.  Okay ... maybe "perfect" is pushing it because we all know ... stuff happens.

What a fun read.  Now I want rice ... thank you very much

When there is a task, whether it's making rice, or buying and selling real estate, having good tools is essential.  That goes for having a good rice cooker, or the best real estate agent you can find.

I tossed one not long ago.  I bought it but never used it.   But I did have a client text me this week and tell me "your job sucks".  When I asked why her reply was all the stress of every client (like her) must be maddening.  I let her know I can handle that kind of stress.  

I have always wanted a rice cooker, maybe now I will go get one...

Ahhh...the right ingredients and appliances make the best meals...like education and experience goes together to make the smoothest transactions !

Carla - I don't think our family could live without a rice cooker. We have been using it for over 25 years, and it is still going strong. Heck, even my son and I can put on a pot of rice and cook it just right with the rice cooker.

Carla, Anyone thinking of buying a home should hire you to be their buyer agent. We eat rice every day and remember the days years ago when I did not have a rice cooker . Sometimes the rice would be over cooked and sometimes not cooked enough. 

We may think we know what we're doing after years of performing the same task but it just goes to show you that sometimes there's a better way of doing things and we need to be open to exploring new options!

Great analogy!  Well done!

I don't have a rice cooker, but I have a veggie steamer that came with a rice bowl and it does an excellent job. Having the right tools (agent, home stager) is invaluable!

Using analogies is often the best way to explain the value of a given situation. Well done!

Carla the analogy worked well.  Now I can't get the rice cooker and Thai ingredients out of my mind.  :)

Hi Carla Muss-Jacobs, Principal Broker/Owner ,  Good analogy.  My wafe has been hinting about getting a rice cooker.

While I do appreciate your analogy, I also appreciated hearing about your rice cooker experience. Elevation is my issue with cooking rice. I might have to buy one of those darn cookers. And I've had that same feeling you did with using your rice cooker when I got a leaf blower. DUH...what took me so long to buy this darn thing.
