There are so many great reasons to be in the real estate industry. 
This afternoon I went to meet a seller to sign a Contract for Sale and Purchase on his property.
The seller has been great to work with.
He has kept his home immaculate while it's been on the market.
He has been ready for each and every showing that I have called him for. He's even been ready for the ones where I couldn't give him quite as much notice as I would have liked to.
He has taken every recommendation I have given him to make adjustments to his property to make it more appealing to buyers.
He has been what I consider to be a great owner.
His efforts have been so well appreciated.
As I was sitting with him today, going over the contract on his property, I thanked him for all of his hard work.
He then told me that I have been absolutely terrific to work with. And, that I was the reason that he now was holding a contract to purchase on his home. He was geniune.
As I left his lovely home, it reminded me why I got into the real estate business in the first place... to help people.
But I also remember, that it's not closed, until it's closed.

I wish more sellers were as good to work with as this guy. I don't understand these sellers who don't want to take advice from the agents they've selected to sell their homes. Don't they want their house sold?
Hi Sandy
It always great to with a proactive seller.
Good luck and success.

Hi SS,
Glad to hear that you are appreciated by your client. And you are right- it's not closed 'til it's closed!!
Hi, Sandy, there are wonderful clients that we all have, but sometimes we get lost in the, shall we say, less than wonderful people (clients and agents alike). Thanks for the reminder to cherish the pearls among us.
Justin, We are blessed to have sellers like this one.
Hi Lou, It makes our job so much easier.
Hi TO, This client has been terrific. So true, it's not closed till it's closed.
Richard, One of the great reminders of why we are in this crazy business.
Hi Sandy, How wonderful to have such a nice and appreciative seller.. Good luck on the close!
Hi Miss Mary, ALways love seeing your smiling face here. I love sellers like this one and I love an even smoother closing. And it;s not closed till it's closed.
Sandy,
Sounds like a great client! But then I would expect you to have those...;-)

Hi Ann, Thanks for the vote of confidence. I do love clients that are wonderful to get along with, like this one.
Sandy - That is a nice story. When a seller is my partner, and we are on the same "team", it makes it more fun, too.
Sandy,
I am certain you are a professional with all of your clients and you get along with them no matter what! But it is nice to have a client who is a joy to deal with and appreciative of your education, knowledge and such.
Ann
