10 Reasons Santa Would Be a Great Real Estate Agent

By
Real Estate Agent with Re/Max Classic 314578

Being a real estate agent isn’t for everyone; it takes a certain set of skills and personality traits to succeed…

But if Santa ever got sick of his one-day-per-year job and became an agent, he’d probably be a top-producer in less time than it takes a kid to rip through their presents on Christmas morning! He’s got the charm, the skills, and a work ethic that would make even the busiest agent say, “Wow, how does he do it?”

Here are 10 reasons Santa would be a great real estate agent:

1) He’s Got Strong Brand Recognition and Trust

 

 

Building a name and reputation for yourself in real estate can take years of hard work, networking, and marketing. But who needs a business card when the whole world already knows your name? Not only does pretty much everybody in the world know who he is, they’re totally cool with him letting himself in their house in the middle of the night while they sleep!

2) He Knows How to Delegate and Motivate

 

 

Santa runs a tight ship (or sleigh, in this case). If he can manage a workshop full of toy-making elves, coordinating title companies, attorneys, and other agents would be a breeze.

3) He’s Good at Double-Checking Things

 

 

Making a list and checking it twice? Sounds like due diligence would be a breeze for Santa! His attention to detail would come in handy when reviewing contracts, closing disclosures, and inspection reports.

4) He Already Knows Every House and Neighborhood… Worldwide

 

 

Santa doesn’t just know his way around without needing maps or GPS, he knows every chimney, every street, and probably where the good coffee spots are—which is often an agent’s second office!

5) He’s Used to Hitting Tons of Homes in a Single Day

 

 

Showing 12 homes in a day would be child’s play for a guy who hits billions in one night! Santa’s stamina and efficiency would make back-to-back showings with multiple clients a breeze.

6) His Ability to Leave Without a Trace Is an Artform

 

 

Agents are trusted to enter people’s homes and leave it exactly as it was when they came in. Santa’s knack for tiptoeing through houses without leaving a trace would come in super handy as an agent.

7) He Can Eat a Ton of Cookies

 

 

A plate of cookies is a staple at every open house. Unfortunately, agents often find themselves eating all of them when there aren’t enough visitors coming through. Considering how many cookies he eats in a single night, a platter of them at an open house would be a mere appetizer.

8) He’s an Expert Negotiator

 

 

Convincing kids to behave all year for one toy? That’s top-tier negotiation skills right there! Whether it’s smoothing out tough inspections or getting a buyer’s offer accepted in a bidding war, Santa’s ability to seal the deal is unparalleled.

9) He’s Unfazed by Tight Deadlines

 

 

Santa’s timeline is no joke. If he can make the world’s biggest delivery on time in a single day, even the most chaotic closing schedules wouldn’t faze him. Santa thrives under pressure, so even the trickiest closing schedules won’t throw him off.

10) He’s Always Jolly

 

 

Remaining cool, calm, and collected as an agent is a must, but agents who can also manage to be happy even when things aren’t going smoothly bring joy to the world of their clients and colleagues. Even during stressful transactions and tense negotiations, Santa’s cheerful demeanor could make the process feel like a holiday miracle.

I agree Santa is a mover and a shaker. Lot of planes and drones up there though. Jeff

Great post, love the approach and you are right on every point, thankfully we do not have to worry about him entering our profession as he seems busy enough already and he knows how hard we all work.

Good morning Tom. You make a strong argument for Santa to fill his time when not delivering presents. Enjoy your day.

It sure would be fun to ride with Santa in the reindeer powered sleigh while looking at homes.
