Roller Coasters
I had a transaction this weekend that was a real emotional roller coaster ride. At the end of the day, it all turned out well for my client - but it was very nip and tuck there for awhile. One prerequisite for being successful in real estate is that you have to enjoy the roller coaster ride. It doesn’t seem like much fun while you’re going through it. And when you think about riding an actual roller coaster, how much fun is it to be terrifed that you’re going to die? Strange definition of fun, no? And yet, there is nothing like the feeling of exhiliration when it’s over. ” Come on! Let’s do it again!”
It is said that traders in the trading pits get hooked on the adrenaline rush. So do real estate agents. I suppose it’s on a par with sky diving and mountain climbing. (I’m working off hearsay since I’ve never done either. They actually ask you that when you apply for life insurance.) Despite all the negative physical consequences of having adrenaline coursing through our bodies on a daily basis - even though we’re NOT being attacked by lions - for many people it’s one way to feel really alive. But it sure can be a tough way to make a living!
