A Wiener Dog, a Chicken (or 20) and a Smile. Why I do What I do!

Sometimes I have days that can make me want to scream. Sometimes I have days that make me want to cry. But sometimes...my days are funny and heart warming!

Take for instance a recent outing with clients. I'll start by saying...i was driving along...wondering what the smell was in my car...and then remembering, I just left a farm, which I went to visit in fashionable boots..because my Blundstones have been overused of late. The tour started out with an adorable little wiener dog and golden retriever running over to my car to greet me. Now that's a fun way to start. To be followed with the opportunity to check out the new chicks in the coop! My son would have loved the place. Then, in the most unlikely place...we found an incubator..AND...chicks hatching right before my eyes!

Just days before my foray into the country, I had gone on a house hunting expedition with a most wonderful family....problem was...hubby (lets call him Superdad) couldn't make it. The home we went to see was a winner! Practically perfect in every way! (I stole the description from Mary Poppins) Days later, we took Superdad to check it out. Here's the part about "Why I do....what I do". From the minute he stepped on the property, he had the most wonderful grin, that only got bigger as we took him to see everything the property had to offer. Needless to say, his wife(let's call her Superwife) knew just what to pick for Superdad! That's when I thougth to myself...this makes it all worth while!

I will have to revisit this fun week in my mind, because we are in a market unlike anything we have experienced here. Competing offers and fast decisions have made the job of the Realtor very challenging...not to mention the challenge for our Buyers and Sellers as well! But every now and then...everything comes together...and we can find the perfect house, for you to call home!
