Honestly I do not feel that way. I have a gently rolling graph to my life. It has evened out over the years and rarely do I go over the top with excitement or fall to the bottom with disappointment.

Yes & no. I try to stay on an even keel no matter what the circumstances & sometimes it's pretty tough. I think that 'I'm not going to freak out' should be in there.

Susan, yesterday it DID feel like that!    After 17 or 18 offers, got a young couple under contract, did an inspection, showed homes, and then heard one of my past clients' son died in a motorcycle accident over the weekend.   What a roller coaster!

Stuff happens. And when you measure it, it gets scary.

I say "furniture can not be included in purchase agreement" at time of showing.

Seller says, "put furniture in side deal' outside of purchase contract.

Buyer agent include furniture in purchase agreement.

Yahoo, the ride down the slope of disappointment was fast.

Then I come to AR for a little 'magic happens' stuff.
