Amazing Clients!

I have to say, I have some of the most amazing clients! I mean for reals. Imagine yourself, sitting in your realtor’s car touring homes with three children in the back seat on a hot summer day. As usual the kids are most randomly arguing over anything and everything, as they could come up with at least a million better ways to spend their summer vacation rather than crammed in that backseat. Okay, you are imagining this, are you? You’re thinking you know what I’m talking about as you have kids too, or maybe your children are all grown up, but you still remember. If you don’t have kids, you’ll know someone with kids, or at very least you have seen kids at the grocery store or at a restaurant. Haven’t you? You may be wondering why the kids are in the car, and not with a sitter, or friends or family. Who in their right mind would want to take their three kids with them, when they are trying to concentrate on finding a home? Wouldn’t they rather not listen to the backseat bickering? Well, I told you I have amazing clients. Now, imagine the same thing, are you ready? Are you sitting in that car with your realtor and the kids? If not, I’ll wait a bit to get you on board… In the car yet? Hot day, long list of homes to see, and three children in the backseat. The kids would rather be somewhere else. Ready? Here it comes… The kids aren’t yours, you don’t even have kids. The kids are your realtor’s children. See! Amazing clients, told you so!

However, I do want to set one thing straight. Even though many agents encourage you not to take your kids with you whilst looking at homes, let alone your realtor’s children, I personally have nothing against touring with the entire family. That is your choice, and some want to have everyone with them, some would rather not. I am absolutely fine either way. On my tours, you can bring your kids or your mom and dad, or whomever you feel like you need or want to have with you. The reasoning with no kids is that usually children have a great tendency to distract you from what you are trying to do, but as we’re all different, and our families are different, and for some of you, getting that sitter or neighbor to watch your kids is way more stressful than hauling everyone with you. I want to make it your choice. You know what is best for you.

I also want to tell you, that having my children in the car with you is definitely not the norm. It was an exception to all rules, as like I told you last week, I am flying solo this week with him being on a business trip, and since it’s summer the schools are closed. So, no, part of my service is not to meet my kids and listen to them whine in the back seat. This client also knowingly accepted, meaning she did get a fair warning and a choice, but due to our schedules it was a necessity to go look at these homes – with the kiddos.

But do I have amazing clients or what!
