Top 10 ways babies are like Real Estate
Lydia Taylor March 15th, 2009
Hello to all of my blog readers! It has been very difficult to update the Elegant Augusta Real Estate Blog frequently. My new baby boy keeps me busy, and between him and business it has been hard to write blog posts. But he has provided me with some inspiration… I have learned that real estate and babies have some things in common! Here are my top 10 ways babies are like real estate:
- Showing 40+ homes in Augusta’s July heat; or 12 hours of labor. Both make you hot and sweaty, make you want to strangle the person who put you in this position, and in the end are a pain in the rear (pun intended…)
- Helpless baby who must depend on you for everything; or helpless Realtor on the other side of a transaction who can’t fill out a form properly or turn their documents in to the lender or lawyer. I will take the baby!
- Pacifiers - cute little plastic objects babies suck on to make them feel better. Margaritas - adult pacifier to make the weary Realtor feel better.
- Real estate is expensive. Babies, even MORE expensive…
- Real estate negotiation is all about getting the best deal so no one cries; negotiation with a cranky baby is impossible - someone is always crying!
- Real estate can be a dirty business, but babies are WAAAAY dirtier!!
- Dealing with demanding clients is like having a baby poot on you - it just STINKS but you have to laugh.
- Touring homes for sale and taking care of babies results in lots of hand washing. You can never escape sticking your hand in some kind of mystery goo.
- Eventually, someone always gets peed on. Real estate, figuratively; babies, literally.
- When someone gives a big smile after buying their first house, it is a great moment. Just like when your baby looks up at you and smiles - which is always a fantastic moment.
I hope you enjoyed my list! We all need some humor sometimes. If you need help buying or selling your home in the Augusta area, please give me a call!

I like that “eventually somebody get’s peed on” — Lets see …… It happened to me last week . ha
I’ve has some clients who don’t believe they’ve gotten a good deal until the other side cries. I enjoyed reading your blog, and I know about the difficulties of having a little one and balancing a real estate career. Mine is a two year old little girl.
too funny and way too true!
