Do you expect me to stand outside naked with a for sale sign on my butt?

Well good afternoon everyone who left me a comment. WoW! I wrote this last night but before I wrote it I hadn't though of it until about 5 minutes before I started to post it. The title actually came first and I guess it caught a lot of peoples attention. I'm glad you all got a kick out of a little satire along with some moments of serious thought but I guess from what I am reading....it's all true. It's going to a little tough to answer all these great comments so I'll try to do it in spurts but there is so many. I do want to thank you all for the compliments.

Justin,

I just love the meat and potatoes...they are my favorite:)

Michael,

Is that smoking or stoking?:)

Cathleen,

I don't want to scare anyone away:)

Carol,

Maybe that's a good image to bring in on my next listing appointment:)

Dave,

That's naked marketing to you:)

Char,

Just send me the beer truck filled with the beer.

Mott,

Very bizarre but when things were that good...everyone was cocky and an expert...now those people are in trouble looking for us to help but it's hard ...we can't make a miracle happen all the time.

Debbie,

We can do that all year round here...it rarely gets that cold.

John,

I'm still not sure about the ones who don't see the reality...you would think now people would understand it ain't getting better anytime soon.

Randy,

Now that you've made your butt smaller ....the sellers will come out of the woodwork and price them right:)

Pippa,

Thanks!

Deb,

If you really insist it...I'll be happy to make up a special video just for you:)

Roland,

I might try most things at least once:)

Fran,

Come on...it can't be that bad of a thought:)

Cristal,

If you say so:)

Judy,

I would too but then I would want to stand next to them and I would probably forget all the leads I would get..instead I would be sharing time with the model:)

Stanley,

I'm trying to be positive here...come on and go with me on this one...yeah maybe a bit longer:)

Richard, I missed your comment..

I always ask them why they would think we wouldn't want to be motivated enough to sell it...we make nothing and we lose it all.

Jeff,

Blame the Realtor(R)...who else can you blame...hey I wrote that post too:)

Tom,

Not sure what to make of that statement but I'll just keep it quiet.:)

Hey Brenda,

If you reblog it...I'll get a whopping 25 points from it!

Susan,

I'm going to hire a former top producer who now is bagging groceries.

Sally,

I have a very small butt so there isn't much room for mistakes:)

Marti,

Is porn on your mind or real Estate?:)

Ruthmarie,

Maybe they would blame me if they blocked off the streets and need crowd control:)

Tom,

I have great techniques:)

Thesa,

:)

Kerina,

I just got to your comment...I'm still trying to get to all of them today...well ,maybe tomorrow too:)

Janna,

My butt just might do the trick...you never know!

Christine,

That's what I try to do but sometimes I hold off a bit due to the lack of recent sales.

Allison,

I don't even think there are any rules anymore.....people really need to think first before they step forward.

Missy,

We have a a 5 yr supply of condos...not helping matters most of my inventory is condos or townhomes...single family homes are at about a 3 yr supply...I might be better off with single family:)

Joe,

We shouldn't have to tell them to always catch up...we should be there from the beginning.

Jeanane,

Thanks and I hope it sends a message to others.

Diane,

Stubborn is the word but there are some that just can't sell because they owe too much but this isn't about those types of homes..it's about sellers who need and can sell...but they need to think hard about pricing.

Jen,

I love titles that catch the eye...it usually gets good google juice as well.

Bro,

Thanks bud! Now go get married!

BB,

I'm getting picky as well and it shows...those that I won't takes end up never selling or calling me later.

Renee,

The ride is still a long one unfortunately.

Bill,

I try not to sweat it if I just say that there isn't anything that any human can do to change it even if they say they can it's probably just luck now.

Kelly,

Keep thinking...it will be ok later...when later? I don't know exactly.

Sarah,

I'm not sure which articles they are reading but they must not be reading the one that says most homes aren't selling right now.

Rebecca,

I also think now that banks are bailing and the government wants to take control of everything.

Dunhill Group,

Let me make something clear...I never tell my clients to take any offer but I will offer my opinions...we can't make them take something and then have it bite us back later so be careful with the words:)

Sheree,

Funny...I don't have that type of budget:)

April,

Why not?:)

Melody,

The consumer has to blame us only because they can't keep blaming the government even though they haven't helped matters ....thanks

Patricia,

I hope this gets better...I think there is little of a bottom left...more like it's leaking out of the bottom now.

Michael,

Titles can be catchy I guess...it worked!

Erica,

i'm always telling them that by the time they sell....it probably is worth less and appraisals might come in lower....so then what?

Kathleen,

Stage rs might lose business due to the sellers not wanting to spend additional money ...but I know it helps homes that are messy.

Frank and Jodi,

So maybe I should start planning that in the next 15-20 yrs it will happen again?:)

There is an anonymous comment so I won't be addressing it as I don't have a name.

Charles,

I'm not sure caroling will help this but it's worth a try.

Tim,

I was on the board as vice president for 7 yrs and so I think by alienating anything to get homes sold instead of leaving them abandoned and vacant is not the answer to making a neighborhood rebound.

George,

Good idea...two cheeks are better than one:)

Cat,

A good title and good content picks up consumer interest...hopefully some will understand we want to help them but we can't if they don't value our opinions. I'm sure there are some that would disagree with me but that's ok.

Kris,

That took some nerve huh?:)

Most sellers think that we have some sort of recipe..we can only give 100% effort and hope that they believe in us to get the job done.
