What is your real estate theme song?

By
Real Estate Agent with Progressive Realty (Boise Idaho) www.Progressive-Realty.info DB-17066

If you had to choose a theme song for your real estate career, what would it be and why?

If you are not very busy with clients right now, would it be: Pink Floyd - Is there anybody out there?

If you are still sitting at your office doing floor time and the phone isn't ringing, would it be:
Simon and Garfunkel's - The Sound of Silence

If you find the silence disturbing, maybe you would choose:
Disturbed - The Sound of Silence

If you see the world through rose colored glasses looking for a double rainbow, maybe:
Somewhere Over the Rainbow 2011 - Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole

If you need an alternative, how about this one:
Three Days Grace - Never Too Late

If you are a self professed capitalist pig (like me), I suggest:
Pink Floyd - Money (Official Music Video)

However, with the onslaught of new agents, lending changes, technology shifts and just people in general, maybe the answer is going back to your "happy place" and revisiting something from Disney (since it is supposed to be the happiest place on earth) and choose
FROZEN - Let It Go Sing-along

 

What would you choose as your Theme Song and why?

Well being a home stager my song would have to be David Bowie's Changes.

Sharon Tara well played!  Great selection for a home stager!  I also think this song by Freddie Mercury (Queen) and David Bowie fits in for many of us some days Queen & David Bowie - Under Pressure (Classic Queen Mix) May they both be resting in peace.

"Money" as sung by the Fab Four Beatles back in the day.   Complete with screaming Beatlemanias in the background.   Just because it's fun to watch.

Linda Metallo DiBenardo I have to admit that I must not be the real estate rock star that I thought I was since I have never had anything close to the Beattlemania Effect.

Lemon Tree - Peter, Paul & Mary 

Why - because it is a song about love, loyalty and how impossible it is to eat the fruit from an entire lemon.  And ... we make a lot of lemonade in the business.

Jim Paulson

Kathleen Daniels I can tell that when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. As I get older, I can relate to "A sadder man but wiser now"


Peter Paul & May - Lemon Tree Lyrics

Alan May

this is the version I grew up with.... Peter, Paul and what's-her-name followed up with a more "commercial" version later.

Thanks to everyone that read and played along.  I enjoyed my morning pulling up songs and listening to the lyrics instead of just the music.

Many years ago, at a national real estate franchise conference, we had a talent contest.  One of the people did a phenomenal job lip syncing to Garth Brooks- Friends In Low Places He had an easel with his real estate sign on it.  As he went in the stanza's of "Friends in Low Places", he would peel it back to reveal another franchise sign, then another, and another.  It was brilliant and he won.

I have never thought about having a real estate theme song.

Many years ago, I named a community Camelot when that musical was popular. The marketing was successful.

Roy Kelley Pleasant images come to mind living in Camelot. Did you name all the cul-de-sacs after the nights in King Aurthor's court? LOL

Exceptional service, without exception...

With my respects to Bowie I think The Man Who Sold the World, or at least the Valley, would be my favorite theme song!

Jim Paulson

Peter Davies my brain is trying to imagine the potential comission for selling the entire World!  Here is David Bowie sings 'Imagine' - a tribute to John Lennon

Lauren Selinsky CRS you guessed correctly, your blog was the inspiration for my blog.  Since your's was about inspiration, I would call it a success. Thanks

The first song that came was Stuck in the Middle with you. 

"Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with you".  

I stop myself from singing this to my clients when we are dealing with some characters out there. 

Mar 13, 2017 05:07 PM
Jim Paulson

Dan Tabit I see the real estate world is similar in Sammamish as it is in Boise.  Love it!  Stealers Wheels - Stuck In The Middle With You - Offical Video + Lyics  


BTW, I have a brother that used to live in Sammamish who used to be licensed.  He found it was much easier to be the Systems Admin at UW where he could rewrite code if things didn't work.

Dear Jim,

Cute idea. I am on the other coast, but "City of Stars" from LaLaLand keeps rattling around in my head. Maybe there are a few cities of stars around here too.

Mar 13, 2017 07:37 PM
Jim Paulson

I haven't seen the movie but I know a few of my peers that are in La La Land with their heads in the clouds.

Not for myself, but another theme song could be "Song Sung Blue" or "Rainy Days & Mondays Always Get Me Down".  But I'm an optimist, so I like "What a Wonderful World".

Mar 13, 2017 11:08 PM
Jim Paulson

April Swenson I choose optimism too so here is Louis Armstrong: What a wonderful world

"Worth It" by Fifth Harmony!

Well, only some of the lyrics apply: Baby, I'm worth it!  The rest of the song is silly hip/pop nonsense. Still, I like the message of the song. Hire me, cause baby I'm worth it! 

Mar 14, 2017 06:21 AM
Jim Paulson

Kathryn Acciari I bet you are worth it!  I was shocked when I pulled up this video Fifth Harmony - Worth It ft. Kid Ink and say that it has 1.3 BILLION views!

Cheryl Dukes . . . . . Intown Atlanta
Solid Source Realty, Inc. - Atlanta, GA

I don't think it's my real estate theme song. But my song for today is Keep Your Head to the Sky. I especially like Earth Wind & Fire's accapella at the end:  Keep Your Head to the Sky by Earth Wind & Fire

Mar 14, 2017 07:43 AM
Jim Paulson

Cheryl Dukes - Atlanta  you just brought back memories from my high school prom and it's theme song Earth, Wind & Fire - Fantasy


With new agents always coming into the business, with dreams of controlling their own schedule when in fact they will be like Pinocchio with Geppetto pulling the strings, this might be a good theme song too.

John Wiley "Just know you’re not alone 'Cause I’m going to make this place your home".  Great theme song! Phillip Phillips - Home

This was a clever blog to read here at the end of the day before I tackle dinner. I used to be a DJ so was trying to think of what songs I would pick! There are so many, depending on the mood and situation, as you mentioned.

Mar 14, 2017 03:16 PM
Jim Paulson

Mary Hutchison, SRES, ABR most of my blogs are rather serious analytical posts, but I must admit this is the most fun I have had with a blog.  It has given me the incentive to pull up new songs and pay attention to the lyrics.

What a fun post and I wish I had an immediate answer to this one.  As already noted by many above, this should have merit as a challenge as it certainly will have us thinking

My personal motivational song is"My Way" by Frank Sinatra, although, "The Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor gets me pumped up too.
