I woke up at 6:45 with our youngest child standing at the bottom of his cot screaming and shouting. He's at the age now where he's not quite talking but he uses his voice to let you know what he wants.
Showered, dressed and in the car for the school run by 8:30. Wait on the school yard until 9am and make sure the kids get into school safely then a sprint back to the car and drive off to the office.
I got to the office at 9:10 which is quite normal for me. (There's one thing I won't let running a business get in the way of and that is my children) because after all I'm doing this for them, to try and make a better life for them.
The morning started with a quick coffee and and then an hour to process the staff wages, check the bonus's and hours then send off to the accountants for them to do their stuff.
We've had a quiet week for valuations however we have 3 valuations today the first one being 1pm.
I had arranged to meet a friend for lunch at 12:15 but before this I had to make sure I have my research done for my 1pm valuation. A 3 bed semi 1970s build that was about 3.5 miles from the office.
With research done and it being 12:10 I answered the phone to a solicitor who was calling to confirm A completion had happened and we could release the key. Excellent!!!
Met friend for lunch, had pork, stuffing and apple sauce baguette which the majority dropped onto the floor and enticed the birds to my feet. (Actual birds - not women)
I got back to the office at 12:45, into the car and off to the valuation at 1pm.
Back to the office at 2:15 ready for a quick car swap with my most senior staff member as he was off to measure, photo, Floorplan and pick up the contract to a new property.
Unusually Friday afternoon in the office was quiet, not many phone calls in and hardly any foot traffic. Not letting this stop me I decided to have 40 minutes on the phones speaking with applicants, updating their records and trying to unearth some valuations.
Our 2 last appointments of the day were a viewing at a property we had already sold, it was the buyer going back to measure, and the 5:30 appointment was a tenant coming in to sign the tenancy and move in.
I finished up at the office at 6pm, locked up and set off to pick the kids up from the grand parents.
I got home at 7pm quick change and some food then off out for a game of footy!!
All in a days work for Agent X.
