A Real Estate Agent’s Prayer

Dear Lord,

I ask for patience with bankers who think buyers aren’t qualified, with buyers who think houses are overpriced, with sellers who think homes are under priced, and with appraisers who seem to want to ruin every sale I make.

Help me to understand why the Board of Realtors and the franchise feel they need a percentage of every sale I make.

And, Lord, would you help me convince the IRS that I am not their sole support?

Give me the wisdom to know which car is good enough for clients, yet not so good that clients will think I make too much money.

And if I attain a million dollars in sales, help my clients understand that I don’t have the million in my pocket.

Amen.
