I just got back from taking my wife, daughter and son to the doctor's only to find out they each have the swine flu. (I'm not making it up. Who would want to?) And what if you were working with a real estate agent who all of a sudden came down with the H1N1 bug as it's also known? I'd like to suggest that you might be happy. And before you think I've lost all my marbles (maybe you thought that already?), hear me out. (Btw, my family is supposed to be fine. Just need to gut it out for a few days.) Of course, I'm not suggesting that you hire a realtor® who has the swine flu "literally." Instead, it's that acronym thing I've done in the past. (See "A Successful Realtor® in One Word" for an example: HERE.) This time it's two words: (spell it) S-w-i-n-e F-l-u. I suggest you search for and find a real estate professional with the following characteristics~not coughing, fever and a headache, but...

S-ervice-oriented

W-orker

I-mpressive

N-o nonsense

E-xpert

F-riendly

L-ocal

U-nderstanding of people

And maybe it's not such a bad thing to have the swine flu after all?! (If my wife reads this, she'll slap me. You can be sure of that. Or strangle me?)
