If Cupid Were A Realtor...

Most of us know who Cupid is. He’s that guy who goes around shooting arrows at people so they fall in love. Right? But what you probably didn’t know is Cupid had a second occupation. He was a realtor, too. (Or, at least Cupid should have been.) The real estate business is all about match-making. You’re trying to “match” the right agent with the right client, the right buyer with the right piece of property, the right seller with the right asking price. And Cupid would have been good at doing all these things. Think about it. When a seller would want to list his east of nowhere shack for a million dollars, what would Cupid do? Of course - He’d shoot him with an arrow and instantly the seller would come back to reality. And when a buyer (who Cupid had been working with for over a year) called and said they’d like to view 15 homes on Cupid’s day off, what would Cupid do? He’d shoot another arrow and the buyer would purchase the first home they visited, all cash. And then when an agent on the other side of an escrow would drop the ball and Cupid would have to do all the work, what would Cupid do? You guessed it. Another arrow. And that agent would be transformed from lazy to “Super Agent.” Surely Cupid would have been good in real estate. Maybe some of us should think about buying some of Cupid’s arrows? Happy Valentine’s Day, everybody.
