9 days is a long time

My own settlement 9 days away.  As surprising as it may be considering how often I have bounced around since college, transition is something I don’t deal with all that well.  As I indicated in the last couple of posts, staying on task and staying alert and “happy” (“happy” is in quotes here because it’s the best word I can think of…I really mean some weird mix of peaceful, joyous, calm, motivated, etc., but “happy” will have to do) can be a challenge for me in times like this…not sure why.

 

Still, I am excited…which is the weird thing.  My client that had a offer rejected on a property on Saturday and who was going to go find a different one today ended up having second thoughts for lots of reasons…he would have been rushing, which isn’t a good idea when you are throwing around lots of cash. J So, that was disappointing, but not crushing, and I don’t blame him…we’ll keep in touch.  Still, after having two contracts ratified in one week, part of me is very uncomfortable that I have not had one in the last two…which is extremely silly.  To expect to keep up a pace like that your first year in the business is like a 12-year-old in Little League expecting to get a hit every time up to bat (to no surprise, I was like that J ).  I have two serious buyers that I will be showing properties to over the next two weeks, a couple solid leads on sellers that seem to be pleased with what they have heard of my marketing program, and a dozen more leads that I am currently helping in the early stages of their processes.  So, things are far from bleak.  I just need to move so I can get back into a good rhythm of marketing and business-building.

 

In other news, I just verbally committed to a soccer league in the fall, which should be a blast.  I was a keeper in high school and throughout intramurals in college, and I am very excited to get back at it.  I warned the contact that I will be pretty rusty coming out of the gate, but he seemed okay with that…they are pretty desperate for a keeper.  My first practice with the team is June 25^th. J

 

Alright…time to go home.

 

Peace,
Greg
