Leaving a Paper Trail!

While the concept of 'Looking the Part' and 'professionalism' I try to hold dear to my heart - there are moments when I fail to deliver - one of which happened just this past week - too humorous not to post! Another agent with her clients and myself and my clients were taking turns viewing a property and writing offers in the street on a home in Topeka - it was a Hot Property! We had been writing the offers on the back of the car trunk and it was our turn to go back inside to look at a few details. I securely stacked my items on the trunk in the front yard and was standing by the front door when my clients friend jumped, looked at her watch and realized she was running late for a meeting. As I was talking to my client in the front door of the home, I watched her friend drive away - with my pile of papers and car keys on the back of her trunk... Screaming I ran out the door waving my arms and fumbling for my cell phone trying to dial the friends number running full speed down the block in the middle of the street. I got to the end of the block just standing there looking to see if papers were fluttering thru the air or if there was a chance she'd turned around - no such luck! I went running back towards the house calling my client on the cell still in the home while being watched by this other agent and her group of customers! (I can only imagine the spectacle I had created!) Exhausted, I get back to the home - low and behold guess who's coming around the corner from the other direction? The friend - and nothing on the back of her car! She pulls up with a smile on her face and as I leaned over her window, panting like a worn pup, I saw my items in her front seat. Thankfully, when she turned the corner she had seen the items in her rear view mirror and pulled off immediately. My husband asked what I thought I was going to accomplish running down the middle of a road in Topeka after a car...my only thought was I was going to salvage every paper I could find no matter how far I had to go! Good grief! Professionalism :)
