I just listed a house today that has been on the market with three other brokers, and in all of those listings, the house was only shown four times. twice was me. she kept my business card. this time around she interviewed me and three other realtors, re-interviewed me twice. I had it listed shortly after 9 this morning, got my first call for a showing in LESS than an hour, and another call for a showing later in the morning. what's the difference? she listened to me, did what I advised, and the realtors showing the property know how thorough my research is.

You'd love to be a real estate agent here. They don't even open their mouths during a showing. The prospects walk around, often not even fully entering the bedroom or living room. They will stand in the doorway leaning in and looking. We had to almost plead with them to actually enter, and even then they were very apologetic about intruding on personal space. Today, the buyers came back, and offered to buy the last few remaining pieces of furniture that we would have had to PAY to throw away. Now there will be absolutely nothing left for us to do but vacuum and dust before we leave. We tried to give them Felicity's litter box, but they declined... politely.
You know... I've been a Taoist for the past 40 years. But with the way all this has fallen into place so perfectly and so completely, I think I might actually have to start believing that there is a God....
Time for another mug of 'some' tea. The only thing I'm sure of is that it isn't my unbranded Keemun. It could be East India Company's 'Keemun Downy Bud,' Taylor's "English Breakfast" or East India's "Royal Breakfast.." They just taste too similar to be sure. Fortunately, they are all gooood....
