Yes, it's true... a real estate agent who sees a silver lining in the cloud known as "today's market." I spent this entire weekend being a "normal" person instead of a real estate agent. It was fun and so very relaxing.
I actually spent Saturday at a college football game with my husband, son and grandson, followed by big tailgate party with my brother's family and about 30 others, without receiving a single text message or phone call. The Terps beat Wake Forest in a shutout, so that was a bonus. It was chilly, but otherwise a great fall day that I probably would not have experienced in a good market - at least not without a severe case of guilt.
On Sunday, my husband and I drove to Ocean City for the day. We hung out at my brother's house a few hours and then went with him and his wife to the Ocean Pines Yacht Club, where we sat at a table with a view of the water and enjoyed a beer while watching the Redskins game. They won, too, in a squeaker. After a late dinner by the fire, we drove home - about two hours - not worrying about an early-morning appointment. Again, no text messages, no emails, no phone calls received - just a nice relaxing weekend day with family.
For most people, this would be a fairly typical weekend... people who are not in real estate, that is. While I do love my real estate career and my clients, this was a lot of fun. On the flip side, I didn't earn any money this weekend, either.
But I did say to myself several times over the past few days, "I love a down market!"
