What REALTORS owe Steve Jobs

There are times to talk business. There are times to whine. And then there are times to simply pay our respects. With the passing of Steve Jobs yesterday, now is one of those times.

As REALTORS, we tend to be in a hurry all of the time. We are dealing with this client or putting out that fire. But let’s take a moment to reflect.

If the true measure of a person’s life is measured by multiplying how much good they created for each person x the number of people they were able to generate that good for, then Steve Jobs was a BIG man.

When we conveniently get that email from a client on our iPhone while we are watching our kids’ band performance at the high school, we can thank Steve. That pdf document that we emailed right after church on our iPad. Yeah. Thanks again, Steve. When we played Angry Birds on our i(insert whatever you want here) and we relaxed a little bit after getting emotionally dumped on by a reactive client. Thanks Steve.

As REALTORS, we are constantly strapped for time and we realize the power of someone who spend their life trying to give us back some of it and who makes the downtime that we do have more enjoyable.

To his wife Laurene, and his three children, we send our condolences. We also send profound thanks for them sharing their visionary and extraordinarily talented father and husband with the world over the years.

From RealEstateIndustryWatch.com, we wish them peace and comfort at what is an incredibly difficult time.
