Dad, what do you do all day?
When I come home exhausted it’s tough to remember (much less explain) what the heck I did all day.
A lot of times, I answer calls. I get calls from renters who want to rent condos and townhouses. I get calls from buyers who want to make appointments or who just have questions. I talk to landlords who use our property management services.
Sometimes I really don’t know the answer. But when I don’t know the answer, I don’t make it up. I do my research and then I get back to my client.
Sometimes I get the call that lets me know that the contract went through. We got it! But sometimes I find out there’s a hitch or a catch. That’s when my Priceline Negotiator comes out.
That means it’s time for some tough negotiating. It’s never fun to do that part.
Yes, there are some bumps in the road, but it always works out the way it’s supposed to. When I call back my clients and tell them that every thing is going to be great, I feel proud and satisfied.
My wife snapped this series of pictures while I was working this morning. When I saw how they turned out I laughed hard and decided to change my blog banner!
