I too have worked with all of these people and tortured myself during the experience. Once it was over, it was like a new day had dawned, and I was my old self again. If we could just limit all these people then the real estate business would be so cool. On second thought, I guess we still need all these people, dar-n it. People are going to be… people.

Having the option to choose to/not to work with certain clients is a perk! Tyler – True! Realistic expectations are very important. Missy – It sounds like you’ve done a great job attracting the type of clients you want. No surprise, having met you. Linsey – Good points! I didn’t think of “Terrified Guy” – the client that just can’t pull the trigger. And, it’s reasonable to assume we all are feeling some pressure from the economy and perhaps waiting just a little longer to end a relationship. But, at the end of the day I like the way Tyler put it “Be realistic in what you can provide for people without it being a drag on your life or your other deals.” Ruthmarie – I think there are more “Einsteins” than we realize! Bill – Thank you! John – I agree. Having the option to choose to/not to work with certain clients is a perk!

I refuse to give up on them until I realize the time-suck is killing my ability to generate other business. Agree with Ruthmarie about the Einsteins- especially in this age. These are the ones that look at you sideways no matter what you say - casting that cynical gaze that screams "I don't believe you! I know better! I'm EINSTEIN!"
