I always find it odd when I call an agent on the weekend and he/she doesn't return my call until Monday because they say they don't work on the weekends. I truly love my job and, actually, don't consider it "work". I don't mind getting those last minute calls to go show a property. If I had a 9-5 job that was predictable, I'd clearly go out of my mind! I love the spontaneity, challenge and the roller coaster rides that this business takes me on. I have listed a house on July 4th, shown a property on New Years Day and jumped off my pontoon at the lake on a Saturday to go grab a fax with an offer on a listing. I guess one thing I can think of that I really don't like about my job is when I get a sign call or a semi-warm lead and a person wants to meet me at a property and doesn't show up. That's the risk we take, but it sure isn't fun. Other than that, even with it being a slower market, this is the best job I could ever have. I'm a lucky girl!
