Will You Go To Battle?
A quick message to anyone out there thinking of becoming a Realtor, and any buyers shopping for the screaming good deals: You better LOVE going to battle.
I mean, you better think of going to battle to get what you or your clients want and/or need the way most people think of plopping down in front of the television after a long day’s work. It’s just what you do, day after day, like eating and sleeping.
With 2010 not even one month old yet, my buyer clients and I have gone into enough battles this year to wear out Julius Caesar. And we’ve come out on top slightly more than half the time.
But AGHGHGRRRRR those battles that we don’t win BURN like a freeking hot iron! (Can you tell I’ve got a couple competitive bones in my body? Just a couple. AGHGHRRR!!!)
I had such a battle just yesterday. We got beat despite just a WICKED strong offer package and presentation. This was the real estate equivalent of showing up at the Summer Olympics capable of running a 3 minute 40 second mile, and someone comes from out of nowhere and can run a 3:30. Impossible, but there they are. What the heck are you gonna do?
And yet here’s the deal: Today, buyer and I still standing, battle-axes freshly sharpened, shields polished, the tigers are circling the arena and they’re out for blood. And I’ve got only one thought on my mind as we step into the mix:
“Heaven help those poor tigers today!!!”
AGHGHGRRRRR!!!!!!!
