That week in 2019 when every single deal just worked
I had this one week back in October 2019 where three different refinances closed in five days. One was a guy in Portland who had been sitting on a 6.25% rate since 2008 and finally pulled the trigger. Another was a couple who needed to drop PMI and had just hit 20% equity. I didn't have to chase a single missing document or call anyone back more than once. Has anyone else had a week where everything just lined up like that?

Man I swear some people act like finding a smooth week in this business is some kind of miracle. It's not that serious. You got lucky for a few days, congrats. But let's be real, one good week doesn't mean the system is fixed or you figured anything out. It just means the stars aligned for a minute. Next week you'll probably have three different buyers ghost you and a lender that loses their docs.

Does it ever feel like this business just loves to humble you right when you get too comfortable? I've had weeks where everything clicked perfectly and I started feeling like I finally had a handle on things. Then bam, the next week I'm dealing with a client who changed their mind three times and a title issue that came out of nowhere. It's wild how fast things can flip, keeps you grounded for sure.

Wait, you actually made me rethink my whole take on this... I used to be one of those people celebrating the smooth weeks like I cracked some secret code. But you're right, it's just luck most of the time. Last month I had three perfect closings in a row and felt like a genius, then the next week a buyer's financing fell through and another seller backed out last minute. It's humbling how fast things can flip in this business, that's for sure...
