Redding CA Realtors - Real Estate and Life - Where's the Line - Do you have a life other than being a Realtor? There are times when I've had to question whether my work takes over my life or if I have a life other than real estate.
I'd like to do some fly fishing on "The Hat Creek" and "The Sacramento River" here in Redding and Shasta County California. I would like to bake pies for my neighbors who are such good neighbors and friends. I'd like to take a three day weekend and go camping at Lewiston Reservoir. I would like to get my car washed each week. I have taxes to do and so on and so on.
I am fortuate to work with people I like. All my clients and I have connected on some level and enjoy working together. Some times our time together is short and sometimes it is a lifelong friendship.
It comes down to always doing my best for the client. Some times it means taking my client to the hospital after they just moved here and some times it means fighting the bank to get that short sale approval for a Buyer who is a disabled veteran. Putting my client in that perfect home and seeing that smile on their face is my life. Getting a hug and knowing that I helped in a significant way is my life.
Redding CA Realtors - Real Estate and Life - Where's the Line - Well getting some fly fishing and getting my taxes done are needful things indeed.....but overall I would say I have a good life and many clients that are my lifelong friends!
Hi Jeanean ~ The line does get blurred doesn't it? It's hard sometimes to fully enjoy time away since work is almost always on my mind. And the to do list grows long!
