🌿 THE LITTLE SORROWS OF A SERVICED APARTMENT AGENT
Every day, I share happy stories, lovely guests, and little moments that make me proud of how much care we put into our work…
But today, let me share a little weekend confession. 😂
I’m still quite new to the serviced apartment business, and I’ve already learned that there are 1,001 little stories that can be both sad… and hilarious. 😄
Sometimes, a guest messages very sincerely, confirms everything happily, and makes an appointment to view the apartment…
Then, on the day of the appointment:
The account is gone. 🥲
The apartment is still here.
The appointment is still here.
But the guest…
has disappeared. 😂
Then there are guests who insist:
“I want to meet the landlord.”
Of course! I’m happy to arrange that.
And then someone kindly teaches me a lesson:
“It’s a scam, sister!” 😂
Well… thinking about it, the price is still the same, I don’t charge the guest any agent fee, and eventually the guest has to meet the landlord to sign the contract anyway.
So… sure, let’s meet! 😄
But then…
I got blocked.
No hard feelings. 😂
And sometimes, I take care of a guest wholeheartedly. They view the apartment again and again, ask lots of questions, and I patiently help with everything.
If they decide not to rent, that’s completely fine.
But then one day…
I discover they’ve booked the exact same apartment, at the exact same price… with someone else. 🥲
Well…
May everyone receive the blessings meant for them! 😂🌿
Then there are the guests who don’t really want to rent an apartment…
They just want someone to chat with. 😅
The first message:
“Is this apartment still available?”
I happily answer.
The second message:
“What are you doing?”
Hmm… 🤔
The conversation slowly moves further and further away from apartments…
Oh my! 😂
If I’m not careful, I’ll be flirted into powder! 😆
And the one I fear most?
The first message asks about a room.
The next message suddenly comes with…
“a little show.” 😳
Oh dear!
I’m friendly, really…
But I’m afraid I’ll have to say:
“Thank you, but I’ll stick to apartments, balconies, West Lake, and wholesome conversations!” 😂🌿
There really are 1,001 stories in this little job.
Some make me sad.
Some make me lose time.
Some make me laugh.
But perhaps they are all little lessons teaching me to become more patient, more discerning, and even more passionate about what I do. 🤍
Because there are also so many guests who are kind, sincere, and genuinely appreciate the care we put into our work.
And those beautiful encounters make it all worthwhile.
🙏 Thank God for both the joyful moments and the challenges along this journey.
Tomorrow, I’ll open the door again, answer messages, show apartments, and simply keep doing my best.
Who knows…
Perhaps the next wonderful guest is already on their way to Blessed Home. 🌿
