Do You Really Love What You Do?

When I read this quote by Katherine Graham,

"To love what you do and feel that it matters – how could anything be more fun?,"

once again reaffirmed what I tell potential clients to clients to even colleagues,

I Love Selling Dirt!

Sure, here in Mohave County, AZ and surrounding communities such as Golden Valley, Yucca, Chloride, White Hills dirt is usually much less expensive than selling homes.  Going the extra mile, I am not looking to make six figures.  And if I did, my husband who is a Vietnam Veteran would be quite upset with me as he doesn’t want to pay the federal government any more dollars.

Physically walking the dirt of the high desert vacant land with a potential client, locating the property markers or using an app, OnxHunt, to find the proximity of the property corners is lots of fun. Seeing open range cattle, wild burros or the occasional wild horse only adds to this love of selling dirt. Of course, making sure one doesn’t step into a ground squirrel tunnel or coming across a not so friendly snake is not so much fun. 

Out here caution goes hand in hand or

foot in foot with fun.

Then when a client closes on a piece of dirt and begins realizing his, her or their vision brings such personal satisfaction to me and indeed happiness. Often clients will send me photos of their progress as they turn that vacant land parcel into their vision.

Owning a piece of dirt reaffirms “under all is the land.” Working with a professional real estate agent who knows the “dirt” and is willing to tour various “dirt parcels” until that piece of dirt speaks to you makes all those trips worthwhile.
