The Top 5 Reasons to (Not) Work with Me: Because Who Needs a Realtor Anyway?
I just can’t help myself when it comes to utilizing AI. While I use several different tools throughout my workday, I always end up coming back to the all familiar Chat GPT. While thinking of reasons why “you” would want to work with me, I couldn’t help but having some fun with my AI friend. I gave it my top 5 reasons that I think you should work with me and asked it to sarcastically spin it so that they were actually reasons you don’t want to work with me… LOL! It’s fun to get a little goofy every now and again, so take a read and let me know what you think!
Putting the "Real" in Realtor, with a Twist of Sarcasm and a Dash of Self-Deprecation
Reason One: I'm a Procrastination Expert (Or So I Like to Believe)
You know what they say, "Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow?" Well, that's pretty much my life motto. If you're looking for a Realtor who will respond to your inquiries with lightning speed, well, you might want to keep on looking. I mean, who needs promptness and efficiency when you can have an agent who takes their sweet time getting back to you? It's like a real-life waiting game, and hey, patience is a virtue, right?
Reason Two: Expert in the Art of Unintelligible Jargon
Ever wanted to feel like you're trapped in a linguistics lecture from the 18th century? Look no further! I've mastered the art of spouting incomprehensible real estate jargon that will leave you scratching your head in confusion. Why use plain English when you can impress clients with terms like "escrow," "amortization," and "encumbrance"? Let's turn the simple act of buying or selling a home into a mind-bending vocabulary challenge!
Reason Three: The Master of "Oops, I Forgot!"
Remember that time I promised to include your dream home on the viewing list, but somehow it slipped my mind? Yeah, that's just one of my many talents. From forgetting to send important documents to conveniently leaving out crucial details about a property, you can count on me to keep you on your toes. After all, surprises are what make life exciting, aren't they?
Reason Four: BFFs with Murphy's Law
You know how they say that anything that can go wrong will go wrong? Well, I've taken that saying as a personal challenge. Need a smooth and hassle-free real estate experience? Sorry, but my superpower is attracting unexpected obstacles and unforeseen hiccups. From mysterious plumbing leaks to sudden termite infestations, I'll make sure your journey is anything but boring. Just think of me as your very own real estate adventure guide!
Reason Five: Slightly Sardonic Sense of Humor Included
If there's one thing I can guarantee, it's that you won't be bored when working with me. My sardonic sense of humor is an acquired taste, but hey, life is too short to be serious all the time, right? Brace yourself for a steady stream of self-deprecating jokes, witty banter, and the occasional sarcastic remark. Laughter might not solve all your real estate problems, but it can make the journey a whole lot more enjoyable.
Conclusion:
So there you have it, the top 5 reasons (not) to work with me as your Realtor. From my expertise in procrastination to my mastery of perplexing jargon, I'm here to make your real estate journey an unforgettable experience. Just remember, while my approach may be unconventional, my dedication to helping you find or sell your dream home is anything but. So, if you're up for an adventure filled with laughter, occasional frustration, and a healthy dose of sarcasm, let's embark on this real estate rollercoaster together!
Pretty convincing list huh? 😉 Please keep in mind that this is dripping in sarcasm and is meant as complete satire. I’d love to work with you, so if you cracked a smile reading this, we might be a good fit for each other. Call me!! 🤙🤙
How good of a seller's market is it? Can it be for real?
Good morning! It is a beautiful Friday morning and I am trying to get this written before my munchkins wake up, so let’s get right to it!
A great many of my peers in real estate have been beating the drum of low inventory and it’s a seller’s market. I’m fairly analytical, so I want to dive into the numbers and see if they were on point or if they were just using “sales tactics” to work their sphere.
To calculate months of inventory (MOI), I first needed to calculate the burn rate, or homes closed in the past 12 months and then average that out. Once the closed rate is calculated, I would take the current number of homes active and for sale and divide by the closed rate to get the MOI.
There has been discussion on what a balanced market looks like, but experts have agreed that roughly 5 to 6 months of inventory is fairly balanced and does not favor either the buyer or seller directly.
Let’s jump in to the numbers and see what my local market is doing.
Lapeer
Average Closed Home Sales per month - 40
Current Inventory - 102
MOI is 2.5 months
Davison
Average Closed Home Sales per month - 35
Current Inventory - 55
MOI is 1.5 months
Woah!! You have heard agents and housing experts saying that it is a seller’s market and I just proved it by the numbers. I cannot tell the future, but I don’t foresee this changing any time soon in my local market.

Mother Nature's Mood Swings & The Seller's Market
Tuesday was 90+ degrees and we had a pool party at a friends house…
Wednesday was 90% humidity and crazy storms…
Thursday, I’m sitting in my office in a hoodie because it’s still a bit chilly…
Much like the weather, the real estate market can shift, but not nearly as dramatically as our lovely Michigan weather. In spite of the economic impact of Covid-19 the real estate market here in Mid-Michigan is still largely in favor of seller’s. I have had 3 clients in multi-offer situations within the last week and that is not an uncommon story if you speak with any active real estate agents out there hustling today.
I’m pulling the numbers together for my weekly market report and thankfully we’re starting to see an uptick in homes being added to the MLS. Time will tell how the summer market will end up playing out, but I can tell you this much, if you’re thinking about selling, there is literally no time like the present!
See you tomorrow for my weekly market update!
