All right, my friends, be honest. When was the last time something in real estate went completely sideways and you just had to laugh. If your answer is yesterday, then you're in the right place. Welcome back to Realty Chatter Daily. Quick wins for realtors. I'm your host, Gary McGowan. And today we're tackling a skill that's often overlooked in this business. Laughing through the chaos. Because let's face it, if you can't find the humor in real estate, you're probably not paying attention.
Here's the thing. This job is unpredictable. Deals fall apart, keys get lost. And once I showed a house where the dog friendly yard was hosting a very large angry goose. Spoiler alert. It wasn't friendly at all. In moments like this, you can either stress out or find the funny and move on. Today's quick win. The next time something goes sideways, pause and find one thing about the situation you can laugh about.
It doesn't have to be a standup comedy gold routine, just something that lightens the mood. For example, a client once said to me, we love the house, but can we take down the neighbor's tree? I smiled and replied, let's close the deal first. Then we can negotiate with the tree. That little laugh took the edge off and kept things moving forward. Here's the insight. Laughter isn't just about making light of a tough situation.
It's a tool for connection. When you can laugh with your clients, it shows them you're human, approachable, and calm under pressure. And that's the kind of realtor people want to work with. So my friends, let's embrace the chaos and find the humor. Take one chaotic moment today, past or present, and ask yourself, what's the funny side of this? You'll be surprised how much lighter everything feels when you let yourself laugh. And as always,
Stay motivated and keep laughing and keep thriving through real connections. This is Realty Chatter Daily. Quick wins for realtors where success is built on relationships.
