If the disaster can't be cleaned up, we are on to the next one....it's business....when you lose one, you get two....

Paul,

We don't let ourselves dwell on anything like that.  We are known to celebrate disasters and take the viewpoint of this was a learning experience and every learning experience is a stepping stone for success.  A

In the general scope of things, real estate results are not ever disasters.  I like to keep things in perspective.

It used to take forever, but now we just go on to the next one, since you can't do anything about the past.

Depends on the disaster, regroup come up with a plan, or let the deal die.

Uh-oh.  What happened?

Stuff happens.

How we deal with it makes the difference.

I let my body determine its needs. When my butterflies have ceased fluttering, and the solar plexus area is still, then it has passed. It may try to rear its ugly head again, but its powers are diminished

it really depends if its unforeseeable its what it is and i move on; if its a lender or clients bubu it might take me a few days but at the end we need to move on but i try to learn for this kind of obstacles , great question

Depends on what the setback is, some take a while.

I usually wring my hands and carry on until I arrive at the office then its roll up my sleeves and let's try to solve it!

One minute.

Paul S. Henderson, Realtor, Tacoma Washington I don't let it bother me any more. It's just a fact of doing business.

When it's out of my control the recovery time is nil.

 Good Wednesday morning Paul. I do my best to get over bad news as quickly as possible. Every day is a new day.

Depending on the issue, the same day or following morning.

wow..great question. for me depends on how poorly i mis read the lay of the land. like right now i am waiting for a counter/sign that i am told it will get signed as is, but i have a gut that tells me there will be a change

After 15 years in the business, I can't really think of any thing real estate related I would put in the disaster category.  Bad news...I ask myself, "was there anything I could have done differently which may have resulted in a better outcome?"  I'm over it as soon as I answer that question.

You move on. Sh#t Happens

It depends on the particulars but usually not too long.  In the grand scheme of things in life, bad news or a 'disaster' with a listing or sale is not something we should allow to affect us much.  Some things are out of our control.

Usually one night's worth of sleep. That's all I allow myself. After that you just need to move forward. 

About as long as it takes me to count to ten; sometimes back but that is it!
