My Rant for Today!!!

My day started at 5:00 AM with the usual quiet time, coffee, read the local paper and WSJ. I started calling my contractors around 6:30 AM getting a roofer lined up for one house, a plumber for another, and etc., typical day. The point I am making to be a realtor in this market is to be a "traffic cop" for the myriad of details that must be attended to on the way to a successful close. Gone are the days, when some realtors, filled out a little paperwork and waited for the attorney's office to call with a close date and time. I believe in being pro-active with my clients, I am like the safari guide; I am out in front pointing out the alligators and snakes that might stop us and figuring out a way around them. I am a people person I enjoy solving problems, that is why when delays or de-railed deals happen, I don't get upset. First of all, you must insulate yourself from the need to close a deal so you can pay your bills. Realtors I have worked with that were "problem" people, usually had financial stress that played a part in their behavior. Well, that's my rant for today.
