You Can Take A Day Off - It Is OK - Your Kids Deserve You!

Being a committed professional Realtor, dedicated to ones profession, usually means that you have that obsessive feeling that you must be on call 24/7 - 365 days a year.

As deals become harder to get to the closing table, and buyers expectations for immediate services becomes ever more increased, we find ourselves being on call all of the time. I for one do not want to miss that one buyer who is actually qualified to buy and is looking at one of my listings, and nor does the sellers I represent.

But for anyone who does not have a parent with them anymore that they can call on Mother's Day or Father's Day, they soon realize that it is OK to take a day off and spend that time with your kids. Create with your children the memories they will carry with them for their lifetime - long after you leave this earth. I know that when I am gone I really want my kids to remember more about me than 'Daddy worked all of the time'.

So today I leave my phones in a lonely corner somewhere, along with my laptop and Real Estate folders and swimming pool and cold beverages - here I come! Happy Father's Day everyone!
