Stan Suther's Real Estate and Stuff

I’d like to take the time to write a nice useful, insightful post today, but unfortunately, I’ve got to spend the rest of the day packing my office for a move to our new office on Williamson Road in Mooresville.  It’s only been a year since I moved from our Troutman office to the one on River Highway, but somehow, I’ve managed to undo all the thinning out of unnecessary stuff that piles up.  It is truly amazing how much paper we receive and generate in the real estate business, especially since we are more “digital” in how we conduct business than ever.  Some day we may move to an all-digital office, but right now, the real estate business still operates on paper, with agreements, offers, contracts, disclosures and all manner of other documents that become part of each client’s file.  The files have to be retained for a considerable period after the closing for audits and such, so they stack up.  Of course, I’m not complaining that I have files to stack up.  Each one represents a lot of time and effort to help a client or clients work their plans and fulfill their dreams. 

Those are good piles of files.  Back to packing!
