I Thought I Might Get Rocks in My Pay Envelope
Some days being a real estate agent can really take it’s toll on a person’s patience.  In late March I wrote an offer for a cash buyer for a great lot.  There were a few contingencies but nothing out of the ordinary.  As buyers we did ask for the corners to be marked, and the building envelope to be marked.  These stakes had apparently disappeared with the melting snow. No big deal, we did not ask for the property to be resurveyed just simply remarked and the cost is generally around $150 – The day came that the listing agent called to say he would have the corners marked.  Buyer, myself and the listing agent (who is part owner of the land) met at the property – there were no markings. This was the first sign of an issue – but we got through it.  The prelim was a nightmare – both buyer and seller had common names almost as common as Smith.  We could get through this too, not a problem.  We were a week away from the closing day and I received a new prelim, the seller had sold the trust deed  changed ownership and LLCs- we had a new owner – they had changed the names of the seller…. the listing agent was not concerned and thought “we could just wing it.”  Winging it could mean all of my hard work was for nothing – there was no guarantee I would get anything more than a rock in my pay envelope. Not sure if he realized that at this point the listing was no longer valid, the contract for the sale was no longer valid and no one other than my buyer knew who was representing who.  The title company then informed me that my company does not put in a demand of commission when representing a buyer… I had no clue if a pay check would be coming or not… the new seller had not signed the listing contract – seemed to be avoiding signing the closing documents… and my buyer was anxious to close. Finally 3 weeks late – without a new listing agreement we closed, the seller never did sign the addendum adding them to the contract until closing – and yes I did get a paycheck – whew – think I will be suggesting a demand of commission to the owner and Principal Broker. To Buyers – having an agent that protects you is important – having an agent that understands our contracts is important.

Three Times By Lovely Ladies – My 2008 Super Meme
It has been a busy week – a couple of transactions coming together and a few issues – new listings and my baby girl is home with 2 of my grandchildren. So, I have been away from the Rain for a day or two, but that did not stop 3 of my favorite bloggers from tagging me for Super 8 Meme…. Normally we go back and show who tagged back for a while…. in my case, I am breaking that tradition and naming the Three that picked me for one of their 8 choices. First was Sandra Cummings – now I adore Sandra – Sandra and I are sisters from another family – We have a ton in common and seem to know when each other needs a boost. Then Kat DeLong tagged me I had just recently discovered Kat and love a lot about her blog. Now as I sit down to complete my task Jo Soss tags me – I figure I better get this thing published before anyone else gets me.   This Round of Memes there are 8 questions to be answered – a little easier for this old brain than the previous memes I have done. Without further ado here goes. 1. Who is your favorite musical artist? This was a tough question for me to answer – my favorite group is The Beatles but when I really thought about it my favorite musical artist is more than a singer, he is a song writer and so much more Neil Diamond hands down must be one of the most talented musicians around. Enjoy this song, I love it. 2. Who is your favorite artist? This is a question I can not truly answer – I have several painters and photographers that I love – all of them seem to focus on nature shots. 3. Who is your favorite blogger? I have a bunch of them but the two I seem to always gravitate too are Pat Kennedy and Margaret Woda both are such smart and seasoned REALTORS(R) that I truly look up to. I think this is an unfair question – because I could list 100’s of people that I truly enjoy including the 3 that tagged me for this meme. 4. If you could meet anyone (alive or dead), who would it be and what is the most interesting thing about them? Benjamin Franklin – or Andrew Jackson – I love history and these two had such a great force in forming this great country. One of my first public speaking activities was on the topic of the Hermitage House- home of Andrew Jackson – that assignment got me stuck. 5. What did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be a special education teacher – I love helping and working with special needs children – they have such positive outlooks and such a simple way of seeing things – they are generally pure and we could learn a lot from the simple ways they tend to see things. 6. What is the most interesting piece of trivia you know? John Wayne had a perspiration problem – and cleaning his shirts was a real chore – can you say Ring Around the Collar? 7. If you could live in any point in history what would it be and why? I use to say in the 50’s because I always dreamed of being a stay at home mom – having family dinners and all those things they showed on Happy Days or maybe the Brady Bunch – now that my kids are grown and have children of their own…. I would like to live in the future – so that I can see how my grandkids and great grandkids turn out…. maybe I would see a girl come into the bunch. 8. What is the most interesting job you have ever held? Personal Assistant / Office Manager / Seminar Coordinator for Rick DeLuca – I loved that job – I spoke with agents all over the country and often wonder when I look at ActiveRain members profiles if I had ever spoken to them. It was the same ole same ole yet something new everyday. I learned a lot about real estate around the world while working there and the rest is history. Now for the fun part – My 8 Choices Lizette Fitzpatrick Lisa Hill Pat Kennedy Margaret Woda Lynda Eisenmann Teri Ellis Jennifer Fivelsdal Amy Campbell
