That is in the same category as leaving your cell phone for just 5 minutes and that's when a very important call comes in. It's like the universe is waiting to play this little trick on you.

When ever someone complains that things are slow, I tell them to plan a vacation! Murphy's law; things will pick up right before and when you are out of town.

How funny, I had no idea it was a common thing. We always say that because after waiting most of the summer to go away, the second we hit the road it's an offer, a problem or a great buyer that calls!

It's always like that, Paul. If you want to sell a tough-to-sell listing that's been on the market for way too long with no expectation of selling in sight - go on vacation, take a long flight out. It will sell for sure with challenging negotiations and extended use of any technology you have at the office that you don't have while traveling.
I tell ya, works every time.

Murphy's Law! My first 3 days of my last vacation was all about coming to terms on offers on new listings. I kept reminding myself it was an absolute blessing but so were the less-filled-with-work days that followed. Enjoy your time away!

I can’t tell you how many homes I have sold 500+ miles away from home. It’s happened so many times, I’ve considered moving away to stay busy the way I am on vacation.

Paul,
That is so true, and we manage to go on vacation. There was a time when we would cancel. Something would go awry during escrow and we would stay and monitor it to closing. A
