Finally - here it is.  The entire song of Real Estate Agent Man.
I wrote this my first year in real estate. However, not a soul has heard any of it, accept the chorus, until this month when I performed the acoustic version at a local Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club. The response was so inspiring that I made time to create this recording in my home studio.   Hopefully you'll  find it enjoyable enough to share with others.

Here are the lyrics and chords if you would like to play along.

Title: Real Estate Agent  Man
Lyrics and additions to the arrangement: by Steve Martin Smith
Copyright 2015
Parody of Secret Agent Man as made famous by Johnny Rivers

Em                         Am                  Em                          

There’s a man who leads a life of danger

Em                                           B7

Showing houses day and night to strangers

       Em                             Am

with every call he takes - a chance that they are fakes

Em                   Am             Em

hoping they will buy a house tomorrow

Chorus

               Bm     Em                   Bm     Em

real estate agent man - real estate agent man

        C                            B7                                   Em  Intro x 2

Write down his cell phone number - do not forget his name

   Em                 Am               Em

beware of pretty pictures that you find

    Em                                             B7

deceitful sellers - make you lose your mind

    Em                              Am

and be careful what you say, or you may have to pay

Em                Am                        Em

unless your agent saves your cash/ass tomorrow

Repeat Chorus       Intro x 4

Em                 Am            Em

Hoping for the Riviera one day

     Em                                            B7

but first he must sell Sarasota today

      Em                                  Am

and that Nissan that he drives - it don't make him feel alive

      Em                Am              Em

that Lamborghini dream lives on tomorrow&

I recorded this podcast last week and applied every piece of it two days ago.  Buyers flew in to Sarasota at noon on Friday. We met at our downtown office at 1:30. We were looking at neighborhoods and houses that afternoon. Wrote and emailed an offer at 10pm Friday night. Required a response by 2pm the next day. Took the same buyers out the next morning to see more homes in a different community that I had previously tried to get them to consider.  They loved this community way more than the other. While we were out, we received an automated email that a home in that community had just gone live on the MLS. We were inside that house within 1 hour of it being listed. We submitted a carefully crafted offer immediately and it was accepted Saturday evening.  Although other showings were being scheduled by other agents and other offers were being submitted, we were the only ones to physically visit the property the first day it was listed.

We've already received this review from the buyers mentioned above -  on REALTOR.com.
"I have to confess, I rarely take the time to write reviews. I am happy to make an exception for Steve. My husband & I just left spending the weekend with him. We all instantly hit it off. Steve and his supportive team/wife were such an answer to our prayers. He could not have been more thoughtful and accommodating. We are over the moon excited about our new home. He made a very arduous process fun and hassle free. We felt like we had concierge service. For those who may not feel you need a REALTOR in our age of information would be sorely mistaken. It was Steve who made this transaction happen for a buyer in a seller’s market."

I have often said that getting the buyer and seller from contract to closing is the most challenging part of our job. Now, what do I mean by that? In the daily life of a Realtor™, a buyer may contact us and say, "We would like you to help us find a house." What they really mean, is that they want us to help them own a house. Finding a house is actually about the easiest part of the process. Once we bring them to a property that they fall in love with and want to own, well, then we have to draft up the documentation and negotiate a contract. It's not just about price, it's about price and terms. Part of the terms is the inspection period. Why is that inspection period in there?
