I’ve had writers block for a couple of weeks. I’ve had lots of great material for my blog but everytime I go to write something about the real estate business it just hasn’t seemed that important in light of everything else going on around me.
Then the crash at the Reno Air Races happened on Friday which really got me to thinking about what’s important. I’m guessing that the people impacted by this tragedy really don’t care about how much value their home has lost in the last few years. I bet they aren’t thinking about the latest bale-out plan proposed by the government.
I cannot pretend to know what they are going through but I suppose they have a new appreciation for how fragile and precious life is. Every relationship they have with family, friends and God probably just took on immeasurably greater meaning for them.
Selling homes is what I do for a living but it doesn’t really matter at the end of the road how good I am at ; that I found someone the perfect house; that I helped someone get out of an upside-down distressed situation; that I solved all of the problems so we could close, etc… What matters are the relationships that happen as a result of working with people and getting to know each other. Like they say, “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.”
