I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

By
Real Estate Agent with Jameson Sotheby's International Realty

This is a good representation of how I feel on a good day.  Being in the real estate business can be a ride on a Crazy Train, and I'm Puddles (sans the really good voice).

We have good days, bad days, better days, and days that it makes sense to stay in bed through the whole damn thing.  But all it takes is for one client to give us that positive feedback, and we're on the hook for another nine months, yes?

Love that driving bass line.

this is great - I have several wonderful clients right now but there is still craziness

I think there is inherent craziness in this business... even when it's going well.

Wow.  I actually understood the lyrics for once.  

Yes, getting that good feedback from a client makes it all worth it.  My buyer this morning told me, "My whole family has had a distrust of agents forever.  Not with you.  You are fantastic."  Wow.  That's worth more than the pay day.  And he has already referred his parents to me who are relocating to the area.

I had a client complain to me about all the other agents they'd worked with in their past, and they said "you're the gold standard"...


made my MONTH!

Was so surprised at the voice quality of Puddles. Congrats on the client acknowledgement. It's so reaffirming when someone recognizes how wonderful you are.

I think that's part of his charm.... he sets up a very poor expectation with the clown suit, and then "bam"!

Love the video, not heard that or seen it before. Yeah, I live in the backwoods.

I love the line because it is so true:

Alan May ! WOW!! I just watched the "America's Got Talent" of Puddles.

I realized my jaw was hanging open when the camera panned the judges and all 4 mouths were hanging open too!!
