Only thought it was over!

I enjoy being a realtor. I also enjoy working hard for my clients. When the phone rings, I answer!! That is how to stay on top of the mountain or in the lead when fighting for business. Being available!! My day only ends when I know all loose ends are tied up as tight as I can get them. For example, I had one form to send to a client once my wife got home from supper which was at 8pm because of previous scheduled appointments that lead to a late supper. That one form opened up other conversations and other forms that became needed. This extended my day beyond my initial goal of being finished for the day because I do not leave loose ends loose. I never know how late or early I get to call it a day as a realtor!! With that uncertainty, I still love the challenges being a realtor brings even if the events and conversations are not always pleasant.

Sometimes in life, when transactions appear to be easy and quick, they turn out not be as smooth as initially appeared. Perseverance is critical as well as being logistically competent to create a smooth transaction. Also, being able to identify immediate needs and putting off what can be carried onto the next day is highly important. Being finished sometimes is later than when you “Only thought it was over!”
