You Might Be A Realtor, If . . . (edit/delete)
During a recent real estate class I realized that Realtors speak in code. As I watched the poor newbies in that class I wondered if they felt like they had 
fallen into a black hole and popped up in some foreign land where they didn’t speak the language. Those of us who were experienced in the field rattled off conversation that left the new realtors looking bewildered and lost.
This revelation led me down one of those spontaneous rambling thought processes that often leads to my blog posts, and it looked something like this:
● You might be a Realtor if your dining room table doubles as a desk.
● You might be a Realtor if your car cigarette lighter doubles as a charging station for your laptop or Ipad, Smartphone, GPS, etc.
● You might be a Realtor if your idea of a short sale is a contract that ratified in 12 hours or less.
● You might be a Realtor if your broker is your first emergency contact.
● You might be a Realtor if you have a wireless printer stored in your car trunk.
● You might be a Realtor if you have a vanity license plate that says BUYNOW, combined with a window decal “www.SuperRealtor.com.”
● You might be a Realtor if your first child’s initials are EMD. 
● You might be a Realtor if you’ve learned to put on eye shadow, eat a sandwich and set up your next appointment while driving down the highway.
● You might be a Realtor if you’re an REO Specialist with no foreclosure experience.
● You might be a Realtor if your sales team includes your spouse, kids and the dog.
● You might be a Realtor if the string of initials after your name would make a PhD green with envy.
● You might be a Realtor if your Christmas cards include a business card.
● You might be a Realtor if every up or down real estate news feed inspires you to post, “It’s a great time to buy.”
● You might be a Realtor if you have interchangeable sign riders that say, “It’s a buyer’s market. Buy today!” or “It’s a seller’s market. Sell today!”
● You might be a Realtor if you have mastered the art of describing a pole barn as “Beautiful country setting, spacious property with plenty of room to expand and wonderful views of wildlife.”
● You might be a Realtor if every listing description ends with “This won’t last long. Act today!”
You get the idea. So, what would be on your “You might be a Realtor” list?
