Do You Take Your Own Medicine?

As a Real Estate Professional, when listing a property, I work very closely with, and many times actually directing my clients, on the dos and don'ts of preparing a house "For Sale". After all, this is a large part of why they hired us to begin with. We have convinced them to take advantage of the best, most current and innovative market plans for Selling their house. I enjoy this interaction with my clients, it is what I consider to be the funnest, at times challenging, and most rewarding part of being a Realtor. However, I have one client that has been a challenge, and it is ME......! My Wife and I recently Listed our House, with ME,and I have found that many of the items that I suggest that my clients take care of, I find it hard to do. It has given me a different perspective on how to interact with my clients. In the future, I know, that I will not ask a client to do something that I, MYSELF am not willing to do! I was wondering if anyone else out there had any similar experiences that they would like to share when selling their own house?
