A Hole in One.

I've golfed a lot of holes in my life, but like Joe, the only hole in one I've ever had is in my socks.

So in relating this comic strip to Real Estate where do I go? A perfect score... a fantastic home purchase or the best sale of a home ever? Do I relate it to the sock... time to get a new one or do I mend this problem? Maybe I should forget the strip and concentrate on the photo thinking you and I are the ball and we are on the edge of falling into a hole we couldn't get out of.

If you are buying or selling Real Estate all of these (or one of these) scenarios have most likely crossed your mind. Instead of me answering all the cases above let me encourage you to call a local Realtor.

A lot of people may be scared to call a Realtor. They may have a good reason due to a bad experience of their own or a story told by a friend or relative. The good news is that chances are there are a lot of them in your area and you can interview as many as you want... free! More good news, if you think you picked the wrong one you can fire them and try again.

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .For Timmothy's website type timmtimmothy.com into your browser. I tried to put it in a link here but it refuses to work. Do NOT put anything in front of timmtimmothy.com or it will not work.

A little humor goes a long way! Real estate is a big decision, and having someone you trust to guide you makes the journey much smoother.

Haha, the hole-in-the-sock tier is exactly where my golf game sits too, Bob! But you make a killer point about the fear of picking the wrong agent. Interviews are everything. A bad real estate transaction can definitely feel like falling into a hole you can't get out of. Love your son’s comic strips, keep them coming!

Thank you Carmen Brooks 😊 I use Timmothy's cartoon daily, it's a challenge to apply it to Real Estate.

Picking the right Realtor is a matter of asking the right questions and listening to the answers. The game of golf does require some skill and practice, and a hole in one is more luck than skill. I know as I have 7 aces.

Picking a real estate professional involves getting referrals and asking questions, although most people don't know what questions to ask.

I was very fortunate Kat Palmiotti that when I bought my first home that the agent/broker was reffered to me by my father.
