I found myself pondering life and where we find ourselves this day and age. I was polishing my sterling silver Victorian tea set and thinking to myself....I could not sell this to anyone in a million years.
Who has time to polish silver these days. I found it rather comforting to be polishing my silver tea set.
I was busy today cooking a dinner party on Sunday. I got a call to show property tomorrow in the middle of the busy day preparing for our party....the life of a Realtor.
I'm very pleased to get the call. It's on a Victorian home here in Redding that is a short sale. We need an offer and sounds like these people are interested.
As I polished my silver tea set, I thought how interesting it was to be doing something that time has passed by.
I think that I am guilty of getting caught up by technology and forgetting that relationships are what we are about.
I spent the last three days calling all my clients and hearing their news and getting up to date. I have had a very inspiring three days and polishing my silver tea set seems to cognize for me that we need to balance the old with the new and hold on to those values of our relationships.
We can enhance how we help people, however it is our connection and relationship that forges the future of our business.

Physical repetitive activity is good for the soul. Hope you sell that house.

Great short story about you! I too find working with my hands on things at home helps me focus.
Jenean, my silver tea set is languishing for want of a good polish. Maybe I'll get her out and give her the once over!
A day in the life of a Realtor... Yesterday I was expecting my little sister and brother-in-law to spend the night. I had planned a lovely home cooked meal, which began with putting on the meat in the am. I had to dash out to an 8:30 inspection, then something came up, then something else, then all of a sudden it was late afternoon and I never made it back home. Long story short, I barely made it in the driveway with the Chinese I ordered before they were in the door. But you know what? They loved it!
Peggy, I believe you are right. Sometimes I need to turn my brain off and enjoy regular routine things! Wonderful to give myself a manicure. I feel like a woman again rather than a calculator!
Lou, thanks for commenting.
Trey, thanks for coming by for a visit. We have to do other things besides real estate. That's why I love photography so much.
Sharon, I can't tell you how many times that has happened to me. It is the life of a Realtor! Occasionally, I make it happen but I almost have to warn all clients only emergencies....then someone finds the perfect property they need to see and we write that day and so it's Chinese for dinner...Love your story!
