Nothing is What You Think

As many of you may know, I have been a licensed realtor for Century 21 Integrity Group in Jefferson for a year now and it's been very interesting so see how people live and all the different older homes that I would have never seen without being a realtor. 

Each realtor in our office has their own way of advertising and I just kind of take it in and do what the much younger agents do.  One of those things is to order name riders that hang below the Century 21 for sale sign.  I ordered the largest name rider assuming it would be easier for people to see it from the road.  I ordered five of them and could not wait for their arrival.  They finally arrived and I proceeded to tear the box open to see the large black signs.  Unfortunately, they are not quite right.  Please look at the picture again and find out what's wrong.  Although I could live with the error, I didn't think it would go over well.  I placed the order again and waited more time.  Finally my signs arrive so I have Steve go with me to hang the riders on my house listings.  Of course, nothing goes quite the way you planned.  The signs were much too large so we had to bring them home where good old Steve took a tin snips to them so they'd fit the sign.  We went out and hung my signs and it made me proud.  Unfortunately, I might have been better with the first signs as neither house sold.   I guess that's the way things go in the business.  I'll hang in there and did get another listing on the lake so I will go there and hang my sign over the weekend.   You can find my listing link below.  I am also going to start a Century 21 blog in hopes that I can land some listings or perhaps a buyer.  I'm really not in this to have 10-20 clients at a time.  I'd rather have three and do a good job but I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.   My lake listing is below.
