Today in terms of real estate sucked. I have some buyers who spent almost $300K on a house and they're totally unhappy with the process and the home. We closed today and they're unhappy. It sucks. I cried. And feel terrible, bad, guilty, pit in my stomach, what can I do, kind of stress.
The things that have happened have been out of my control. I can't control how people do their jobs and unfortunately most of the people in this transaction did not do what they said they would. The last thing I want is for a buyer to buy a home through me and look back on the experience as one of the worst.
It especially sucks because there's really nothing I can do for them except apologize for other peoples lack of care and encourage them that everything will work out.
You know when you're told one thing and you plan on that one thing and you prepare for that one thing. And then like a day before that one thing is supposed to happen, it doesn't. And it gets changed. Throwing off all of your planning and preparation. And then on top of that add that you're pregnant with your 3rd baby and your husband is leaving in a couple days for his Army Reserve requirements for a whole week. Oh and it's 120 degrees outside in Arizona.
Yep. Shit.
It's a fine line we have to walk as a realtor. Sometimes it can be really good. And sometimes it turns out terribly. In the past when things go wrong that I had control over, I own up to them and fix them and make it better. But in this situation I'm helpless and that is the worst feeling.
I feel like I let my friends/buyers down. I 'm stressed and feeling like I hate this job. In this moment, I'm feeling like I never want to do real estate again.
oh dear. that sounds so hard. when it rains it pours, huh! but, like you said, you can't help what's out of your control! sending love!
