Mardi Gras: Is it Worth the Hype?

Is Mardi Gras worth all the time, effort, energy and trouble?  Some say yes and some say no … we all have an opinion, or maybe you don’t care one way or the other.  That’s fine too.

My local (read that as Shreveport-Bossier City) Mardi Gras experiences have been good but I know others who have had just the opposite.

As with any large gathering of people in a tight space who are virtually free to do as they please there will always be those who do stupid things and make the experience unpleasant for everyone around them.

I think the statistics (and your own experience) likely bear that out too.

But as a parent, friend, or what have you it is your job to create a pleasant experience regardless of the chaos around you.

Don’t hyperventilate and don’t swear … just think for a moment.  Was it similar to the above mentioned?  Not everyone will have a pleasant memory which is unfortunate.

And why is that?  Most of the time what I hear is:  “I had a bad Realtor!”

Hmmmm …. are you sure that’s the reason because there is so much more that goes on behind the scenes that the typical home buyer or seller is oblivious to.

So let me re-frame your thought process:

-Your agent cannot control what the loan officer does or doesn’t do

-Your agent cannot control what the Title company does or doesn’t do

-Your agent cannot control Government shutdowns

-Your agent cannot control what the person on the other side of the transaction does or doesn’t do

-Your agent often can’t control what you, the client, does or doesn’t do (although we try our best)!

Do you see where I’m going with this?  Although the majority of agents do their darndest we just don’t have control over every aspect of the buying and selling process.

And should you choose me I promise to do my best to give you the calmest yet most fun Mardi Gras like experience I possibly can and keep you coming back for more!
