Looking in my Rear View Mirror. This past week has been a doosey! Sometimes a look in the rear view mirror can bring perspective to the world of real estate.
This past week, I showed several homes to an out-of-town buyer, I wrote 3 offers for 3 separate buyers, I received an offer on one of my listings, I received 1 referral for a new listing, and I held an Open House on a fabulous new listing. All of which took place on the heels of returning from a week-long business trip to Washington DC.
Whew... I must say, I'm tired, but I'm not complaining. It always seems like things pick up when you're about ready to leave town. I'm certain that the feelers go out and the message is: Melinda Peterson is leaving town, so now is a good time to buy or sell Southern Oregon real estate.
Looking in my rear view mirror this week, I realized it's all good. Occasionally, you run into the Village Idiot who rains on your parade. However, in spite of the occasional hiccups, I still love this job and consider it a privilege to be a Realtor. For every Village Idiot, there are a handful more of grateful clients who appreciate our hard work.
It's a good life and I'm glad I'm still in it. Perhaps I should leave town more often :)
