Sunday Workers - Pastors and Realtors

Work.

Like pastors at the pulpit, real estate agents ply their trade on Sundays. And while our effort is not necessarily steeped in brimstone like some of the more fiery holy orators can be, for those among the flock who seek the edenic pleasure of the perfect home, the strain of the metaphor is lessened if just so.

I suppose too, a trusted Realtor can provide deliverance. Both of in the selling of this home and the buying of the next one. But the point in this ever-so-brief post is that real estate agents work on Sundays. Praise (insert deity of choice)!

Which is what I do with this clickety-clack of my fingers on my macbook pro here at The Real Estate Lounge Chicago and what I will do next as I host a Lakeview open house at 1716 West George from noon until 3p today.

Hmm, maybe weekly open houses are akin to confession. You know, where you visit your spiritual counsel to admit to faults and flaws and transgressions. Aah, but after the admitting comes the very essential and oft overlooked committing to redress.

Mending. Or amending, if you prefer. And while I am not sure if weekly open houses are a bit like confession who the confessor and the confessee are, I can say that the broth of the metaphor thickens when you consider that often in the Chicago market today there is plenty of redressing going on.

Just as the case with today's open house on George where the price has been reduced $250,000!!!

Wow, that was a three exclamation point expression!

So in compressing the price of this six bedroom and five full with one half bathroom home on a wide lot by a quarter million dollars the quite proficient and award-winning builder Stuart Rose has, so to speak, mended his ways, remedying them with a phenomenal price drop.

The question is whether a consumer will walk upon the scene and grant the builder absolution, finding a slice of heaven in the home and feeling compelled to call it his new home address. And while time will tell one point of surety is that like Johnny Cash (or some wayward evangelist) I will be on the scene in all black. And while I doubt the folks I meet will want me to hear their confessions I hope my gravitas regarding the Chicago market will allow them to view me in the light that my many clients view me, that of being the trusted advisor.

Plans? Stop by George and we can either begin or continue our conversation. Or call/text me at 773.848.9241.
