It’s Labour Day. Everyone’s posting “thank you to the hard workers” today, which is fantastic. I wanted to show some appreciation on what actually happens...
You think the realtor sells the house? Not even close. Planner, architect, engineer, then the crews who build it, then the cleaners, handyman, repair techs, photographer, and measurement crew who get it market ready, then the inspectors, appraisers, mortgage brokers, office support staff, and lawyers who get it to closing day, and their spouses holding it all together at home the whole time. Don’t forget your coaches who train you to negotiate for this very sale!
It takes a village to get a house from one family to the next, including the agent and the family on the other side of the deal. I don’t sell houses, that village does. Sure, I market it, I negotiate it, I do all the things, but my part’s nowhere near the work theirs takes. I just get to sell the dream and hand over the keys.
Happy Labour Day to every single person on this list.
