 It doesn't have to be all business. We like to have fun with our clients. If the client is too serious, we still at least smile!

Richie,

The first car we bought together had a personalized license plate that read FUN 4 U.  Sadly it was stolen at LAX, and we could not have it back.  But yes, fun is an integral part of our lives, we pick our clients based on their fun quotient.

Buying and selling real estate can be very stressful. If you have a good sense of humor and don't take yourself too seriously (it ain't brain surgery) then you and you clients will have fun.

There are times when it is fun, but not enough, more often it is more about maintaining and growing the machine so that others will have the jobs, homes and things they need.

A Realtor has the advantage of only doing what they want to do.  We should all have fun and enjoyment in our jobs and realize how fortunate we are to be able to pick and choose our clients, associates, affiliates and activities.

If it's not fun it's work.  I don't like to work unless it mandatory.

Richie,  I will find ways to have fun. Silly things I do during my work day that shifts perception to having fun.  I even have an easy button.
