Chicago Suburbs Real Estate Agent Wishes You Happy Holidays
By
My husband and I were going to spend the holidays in our townhouse in Scottsdale, AZ, but I’ve been so busy we simply can’t go! Normally, my December is spent fine tuning my website and getting my marketing materials lined up for the upcoming year.
It is time spent relaxing from the day-to-day real estate world and planning for the year to come. I couldn’t even leave my office today as I was working on several transactions and one problem foreclosure sale. I had plans to do just a little bit of shopping but just couldn’t get out the door. I was on the phone and/or e-mail all day.
I’m not complaining! I love being busy. Yes, today was one of those stressful days when there just didn’t seem to be enough “business hours” in the day. I’m still waiting for some answers and will be back at it tomorrow. I have 2 inspections and a closing tomorrow and can’t be at all three at one time, so I have to do what I can do. I will be out the door as early as I can so I can get everything done that needs to be done as Christmas is 2 days away and I’m not quite ready!
We are also trying to get our Oak Lawn home ready for sale and I don’t know if hubby understands that me sitting at my desk while he’s doing physical labor on the house is a fair trade. Because I mainly work out of my home office unless I have appointments, my kids, husband and grandchild don’t always understand that I’m working and cannot give them my attention.
If this current busy market is any indication, then January should really be busy. Even if I’ve had business in December, it is usually quiet just before the holidays. Not this year and that’s great.
I would like to wish you all happy and safe holidays and if you’re ready to view properties for sale in the southwest and near west suburbs be sure to give me a call at 708-536-8200.
