The weather hints of spring, and it is invigorating. I woke up this morning feeling a little under the weather, but I know church and the beauty of the day will make me feel better.
Today I want to make some visits to people in the ward. I feel like I need to reconnect. It’s sometimes a challenge because I feel a desire to visit people but also want to hang out with Jenn.
My days have been busy, and I am grateful for every opportunity I have to work; in real estate, in church, in my family, and just life in general.
Yesterday was satisfying. I thought I would be holding an open house for the ***, but they ended up going under contract with a buyer. I don’t know how happy they are with their net proceeds. But they will have the satisfaction of being able to move on and fully immerse themselves in their new place. Since I didn’t have to do an open house I spent nearly the entire day with Jenn, and it was great. We got some errands done, cleaned the church together, fixed two broken blinds in the house as well as cleaned it, and had a date night because friends gave us their tickets to the Tina Turner tribute musical at the Morrison Center. It was one of those days where I felt like I didn’t stop moving from the time that I stepped out of bed until I got back into it. Those days make me tired, but also feel so productive.
Real Estate
Work is going well. I have closings dates for the ***, ***, and ***.
I will bring on a new listing in the coming week for the ***. I’m not sure what to expect from it. The house is quirky, and I feel like the price they want is kind of high, but it’s on the Boise Beach, and a lot of people want to be there.
The *** house should come on the market within the next month.
And I have the feeling a couple more listings will come to me in March.
I also have the *** buyers who have picked up their urgency again, and a referral from an agent in our office who wants to move from Arizona.
I also have a couple of company relocation referrals from the brokerage hanging out there.
The gratitude for the abundance of work I have right now is hard to express. It represents the ability I have to relieve some of the pressure from Jenn about her health care, and relieve pressure from both of us regarding finances. It also brings some satisfaction that I’m a “real” real estate agent. Imposter syndrome has mostly gone away, but a bit of it still lingers.
I have gained a lot of valuable experience over the last two and a half years, but I feel like it is still just scratching the surface of what there is to know and do on the subject of real property. It’s a pretty cool career. I really like it. I’m grateful to be able to practice it.
