A Busy Day...
What a day.. Who says the housing market is dead? I am as "busy as a bee"! I am working on three homes that are in contract and one that just closed (SOLD) escrow last week! Whew, I need a break!

Don't get me wrong... I'm not complaining. In the real estate world, a slow time doesn't pay the bills. So, I'm happy to be busy. But, mostly I'm happy when I'm successful for my clients who chose me to get their home sold, or to help them find a home to buy. Both events either buying a home or selling a home are very intense, time consuming and exhausting. Everyday I "juggle" different parts of the process.

Like today, I was the messenger, picking up and delivering documents, getting signatures, dropping off this and that, driving here... driving there....talking on the phone, driving and talking on the phone, again...oops, dropped the phone... talked to lender, get this , get that...but, I got the job done. I made it happen and tied up all the loose ends. The home is now in contract with the new young buyers! I was the real estate agent who hand delivered the signed documents here and there, to the lender, to the title company, to the listing agent, so that the doctor or the teacher or the mechanic didn't have to stop his or her busy day to do the "busy work" of buying a home!

Like today, when I stopped in to the young Veterinarian to get another paper signed for her new house, she was "busy" multi-tasking; by that I mean, between surgeries, she was answering emails, eating lunch and "pumping" breast milk for her twin boys, while back at home Mr. Mom (dad) was caring for them. What a busy gal. She is my hero! This was an awesome sight. Such perseverance to get all the jobs done that HAVE to be done, all at once. Because, she has no choice.

That's why you hire a Realtor. To get the job done. They are the professionals that do all this "stuff" for you, so you don't have to think about it. They are good at it. They are organizers, secretaries, negotiators and appointment makers....and sometimes baby sitters...plus, they are really nice people, too.

Just like my last appointment today, I met with buyers who were signing papers to secure the loan for their new place. They were so excited and happy and grateful to me for helping them find the "perfect" home. We spent many weeks together searching for that home. It was fun and exciting and rewarding. And now, for them, the anticipation of getting the keys to their new house is like the feeling on Christmas morning. It's so exciting!

That is what I like best about being a Realtor. I like the job well done. I like to be "busy as a bee!" I like helping people. I like a satisfied client. I like what I do.:-)
