I could be out fishing……
July 28th, 2008 | categories: Coconut Grove Real Estate
The market is bad, sellers want way too much for their houses, buyers want way too much of a discount, and newspapers continue to use the real estate crash to gain readership. I have over 20 clients still “looking” at homes who refuse to get off the fence because they are waiting for the bottom of the market. Some Realtors in my Coconut Grove office haven’t closed a deal in over 6 months.
But life as a Realtor is still pretty good. Why? Because I could be out spearfishing on a Monday morning.
I went over to Green Street’s last night and had a beer with my friend H. He asked me if I wanted to go spearfishing this morning. Sounded like a great idea, but my knee has been hurting lately which can make diving a little difficult. I had to decline.
So even though I’m not out fishing today, I could be…..and that is the point of this post.
I have no boss, nobody to tell me where to go, what to do, when to do it or how to do it. This job may have it’s downfalls, but it provides an A.D.D. person like me with lots of freedom.
I love my job for other reasons too….
I love having constant interaction with the residents and visitors of Coconut Grove. I love closing a deal and finding the perfect house for a client. I love going out and meeting new people every day. I love sharing this wonderful village of Coconut Grove with my out of town clients.
So even in a tough market, where every deal requires much more time and attention than it used to, where people are more stressed than ever, and where paychecks are few and far between, I still love my job.
