Don't feel bad for me - I love looking at houses. I have been a real estate agent for over 10 years and have sold over 2000 homes. I am so grateful that I still love looking at houses.
I was so lucky to show homes to a client on the Wed. before Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving day I did alittle work but spent most of the day with my husband eating and watching football.
Then on Friday, I finished my usual real estate work fast ( including showing a client 8 homes)so I could attend a tour of very high end homes at the Madison Club in La Quinta, California. My husband, my broker and his wife who is an agent, and one lady from my team accompanied me. We had a good time viewing 5 homes over 7000 sq. ft. and over $7 million. The homes had refreshments and it was a spectacular day so a fun time was had by all of us as we 'learned the inventory' of homes in the Madison Club.
Saturday, I once again hurried to get my usual real estate work completed to attend an extravaganza of homes in PGA West and then only view 12 more homes in The Hideaway - an area of more high end homes ( $3 -$5 million in La Quinta,Ca. )
This is very helpful to me to know the inventory and it is so much easier and faster to go to these massive open houses to view the homes. I learn the homes, the pricing, the amount of potential buyers out there also viewing homes.
To me this is fun, and also necessary to serve my clients and also feel confident in what I do of listing and selling homes.

Hello Lori:
Sounds like a good weekend all around. After all, how much football can we watch?
Lori,
Sounds a little like my week! Tons of showings and appointments with clients.
I don't mind it as this is my job and passion and like Brian stated - how much football can you watch? Me, I hate sports so it give me something else to do!
Best of luck to you in this coming year.
It is good when someone is passionate about what they do. You are so successful in your sales because you are passionate about your work and you are very prepared by viewing the homes ahead of time.
