Into the weekend!

 

Out of everyone, there’s no lower being in the universe than a person who says they love working out at the gym. Working out is, by definition, a miserable experience. It hurts, you’re out of breath, you shvitz and become a mess, it takes too much time, and you have to look at people who are in much better shape than you and they know it. 

 

Then there’s the injuries: to our knees, our backs, our shoulders, and even more to our backs. It all aches and it gets worse. ALL THE TIME.  Even Aleve can’t Aleve-iate (get it?) all the pain. And, let’s face it, there’s a lot of it. 

 

But when asked (and even when not), there’s this subset of humans who will say that they absolutely LOVE IT. And they’re full of BS and I know it.

 

As someone who tries to get to the gym every day, I have standing in this arena. It’s not fun, even with the Weather Girls and Chaka Khan screaming in my Air pods. But at least I tell you how it is: that it sucks.

 

And I’ll do the same when representing you in real estate. No BS. If a property is overpriced, I’ll say it. If the market is softening, you’ll hear it from me first. If a deal has risk, we’ll talk about it—clearly, directly, without dressing it up in language making it seem different than it is.

 

Because that’s how the Brad Lippitz Group rolls.

 

Have a great weekend, and maybe I’ll see you at the gym!

 

Best,

Brad
