Showing houses...Heavy and sudden downpours.
Never a good combination. At least today's buyer clients had a good sense of humor about it. We were drenched. It was clear and sunny when we walked into the home. As we were leaving...wow. It was like standing under a waterfall. Ran to the car...soaking wet...glad I have leather seats.
Now I know it's really time to get a haircut. Yeah, I looked a little funny afterwards.
Oh, well. It's never dull in this business!
Better after you showed the house, unless you had others to see! I'd love to see that picture!
Laura - Of course we still had another house to see! And, no, I'm not sharing any pictures...
Don, Oh the wonders of our job, lol....
I just read one of your comments on Adam Waldmans post about his son. I couldn't believe it when I read you had adopted your son, the day before kindergarten. ME TOO! I had my son 3 days, and off to school he went. My son is now 20! Wow, I'm so excited to find someone "like me".
It sounds as if you have been a success with your son. No more special ed. How amazing! I just added you as an associate and subscribed. I'm so excited to find someone that has a story similar to mine. Best of luck in all you do.
Elizabeth - watch for my July 3 post - we call it "Dependents' Day"
Adoption is a wonderful thing. We've adopted three siblings. The first two came as a package, and the third was a surprise a year later. Three kids in about 15 months. It was a wild time.
We'll have to share adoption stories...
DON - I remember doing this once. While we were laughing a bit, it was a frustrating way to show homes. There was lightning and thunder and heavy downpoars. The worst part is that they didn't even buy! Another time I waited for people in heavy rain, and they never showed because they had driven past the house earlier in the day and didn't like it. A phone call might have been nice, right?
Adam - The heavy downpours have happened to me a couple of times - usually unexpected, when we're already in a house without the umbrella. Have you noticed that when this happens, it's in the homes with a very, very long walk from the front door to where you parked your car?
