Real Estate

Well - I spent 2 afternoons w/ this couple that have decided to make an offer on a house. With a hint of "you can thank me later" in his voice, he said "boy, just a couple of afternoons and you got a sale - lucky you". I tried to politely say that I have spent months upon months w/ clients that didn't result in a sale. I have spent many consecutive summers with some families who could never make a decision or countless hours w/ extremely high maintenance clients (not that I would ever mention their barely famous rock star names - Frankie Sullivan) who ended up buying through another Realtor only after sucking the real esate life right of me. (Not that I am still bitter about that one!) So once in a while, when someone buys right away, I don't consider is luck. I consider it pay back for the wasted time that I have spent in this field. Hopefully in the end, it all equals itself out. But you never know...
