"Your job seems so stressful to me. Do you enjoy being a real estate agent?" -Mike
Every day I have the opportunity to meet and interact with all kinds of extraordinary people. They have chosen me to help them achieve a goal, a dream or both. Sometimes, the decision to purchase or sell a home is financial, sometime it's due to a change in job, needs or just the desire for something new different or bigger, but behind each of these transactions is a unique individual. It sounds cliche, but everyday I learn something new and it's usually from one of you!
Just like with any job I have my days - it's not perfect. Every now and then things don't go as planned, but I try to stay flexible and keep my heart in the right place! Sometimes I deal with cranky agents (yes, I get cranky too!), difficult negotiations, challenging home inspections, vendors that don't show up on time, you name it. After 8 years in business I've experienced a lot of things! But at the end of most days, I can see results and even on the days that I can't I think about you and what we're trying to accomplish and
I can easily get up and do it again the next day!
There is NOTHING like the feeling of sitting next to someone at the settlement table and seeing the look on their faces when the closing agent turns and says "Congratulations, your a homeowner!" But the fun doesn't stop there!
Often times, after they've moved in and are all settled they've invited me back. We've become friends, we stay in touch. We've gotten to know one another while we searched and I get the absolute pleasure of seeing you in your new home. You're proud and my heart is full!
The photo you see here was taken just a few days ago by my clients (and friends) Peter and Mary. Peter and Mary purchased a home from me just a few months ago! As you might have guessed by the above photo they we're looking for a new home because they were expecting a little bundle of joy. It was so exciting to be a part of their lives as their family was growing! Their little guy, Patrick came into our world just a month ago today and I got to meet him - oh, and see the new house too! :-) Isn't he precious? This is why I love being a real estate agent!
