I’ve been thinking about if and how I fit in here on AgentGenius. I am not a frequent poster. I’m told flaming poo is about to smack into my abode if I do not poke my head into this arena more often. I started a post last week when I learned my first blog is as old as Teresa’s weenie, but in the process of writing it, I worked out my issue and felt no need to publish.Allow me to weigh in on the latest AG issues so we’re all caught up:
- I do not own a suit. I wear capris and privos to work, on the days I deign to change out of jammies and leave the house.
- And from the same post which took a bizarre turn: I have taken down some of my own websites for improper use of the word ‘realtor’ as well as ‘mls,’ one after an NAR “enforcement” letter and the other after a threatening email from a not-so-friendly realtor across the country. The ‘realtor’ domain has now been used by a different agent out of my brokerage for a couple years, with no seeming consequences. C’est la vie, eh?
- Much like Shailesh, I am also not Castro or Stalin.
- I’m not burnt out, as much as I am overwhelmed.
- On a scale from 1 to Tolerant, I am a 4.
Now then.
Mostly? I keep my head down and I work. I don’t spend much time thinking globally, or nationally, or even state-ally. I don’t have deep, complicated thoughts about NAR or the MLS. I prefer to leave the big picture, the politics, to everyone else. If the stated goal here is to “talk about what is hot in technology, new and inventive real estate business models, the nature of the real estate industry, hot topics that impact consumers and so much more” then perhaps I fall into the “more” category.
Here’s the thing: I don’t have answers. I’ve got questions and issues and attempts to solve them that may or may not go awry. I’ve got several big projects and ideas in the works, but I’ve been keeping a lot to myself just in case they turn out to be a massive truck of fail.
So I’ll happily write more often, if you’ll free me of my perceived obligation to enlighten you. Perhaps it’s the Genius moniker that doesn’t sit well. I’m just the little ole Housechick, plugging away over here in the Old Pueblo. I’ll let you in on my projects and ideas, but there’s no guarantees here, and some posts may be more question than solution. I’m not sure where I fit in on this crazy train, but I’m up for the ride if you are.
