You will work insane hours. there is no such thing as a weekend. You'll get calls late at night and very early in the morning. Its a lifestyle not a job.

You're in sales.  Nothing less nothing more.  If you can sell a silk scarf you can sell a property.

I only share the aspect of the job that would relate to the listener.

A young, first time buyer, has no interest in the complexities of selling a home within a trust owned by two in a assistance center, but they DO have interest in how you can find them the unicorn for which they long.

It was a tongue in cheek question.  I just looked at what I have done in the last few days and thought to myself "no one would believe this".

I don't even try to explain it. There are just too many scenarios we deal with involving a variety of people and orginizations, town, state, and county regulations, etc, etc. taxes, short sales, foreclosures, divorce, liens, death, families, trusts, title issues, permits, and on and on.

Good morning Jeanne. I guess I handle that answer through my blogging and then let others tell my story.

Write down the things that you do, why you do it, and how does it affect people, and all the different people and business you have to work with, such as Lenders, Inspectors, Buyers, Sellers, Title Companies, Mortgage Brokers, Banks and the list goes on. 

Then ask them if the are in the market to buy a house.  If they say No, then ask them if the ant to sell theirs.  That always loosens them up!  You would be surprised how many referrals you will get from them!

Jeanne, I'm laughing to myself right now and deciding whether to give the professional answer or how I describe our job to other Realtors.  Well, I've decided, here's the inside the ropes Realtor to Realtor explanation:

We're in the crap eating business and whoever enjoys the taste of crap more wins.
