“You Poor Thing, You”

I have had several people come up to me recently (knowing that I’m a real estate broker) and breathlessly ask “So  .  .  .  how are you doing?”

It’s like they just can’t wait to say “You poor thing, you!” because I’m in real estate.

When I (honestly) tell them I’m doing well, they look at me with disbelief.

I’m fortunate to have a loyal base of past clients who refer their friends to me, and I have many clients who have completed several transactions with me.

I have three closings between now and December 4th and I’m actually looking forward to the upcoming holidays so I can catch my breath and plan for next year.

One of those closings is a listing that I sold this past weekend after only two weeks on the market.

I’m glad that we again have a market where buyers and sellers actually need someone with experience who can guide them through the complex process of buying or selling a home.

Believe it or not, there are actually serious, qualified buyers out there who want to be homeowners.

Those buyers are buying the homes in top condition that are properly-priced.

I don’t view our present market as “bad”; I view it as getting back to reality.

BTW – If you run into me, please don’t say “You poor thing, you!”, okay?
