What a day!!
Like so many other days it was a great day for me, I had my third closing this month and another happy buyer. I love to see their excitement and the nervousness at the same time, they were First Time home buyers, and the feeling of ownership and pride was evident, and best of all the $8000 Tax Credit they will receive. This is a job and a Life style, as Realtors we get to meet great people most of the time, and feel good about the job we do. There are times that all of your work goes down the drain and can be heartbreaking. Just today I had a couple that had contacted me last week, I send then emails of homes in their criteria and I always follow up, and check If they have any questions, etc. Well as it turned out they liked one of the homes I sent and I asked, when would you like to look at that house? I found out later they went ahead and called friends in Spring Hill and scheduled to look at this home tomorrow with another realtor. Now is that fair??? That's the strangest thing how people can be so dishonest....After working with a Realtor, not only do we work for you to provide the best deal available we don't even charge you, it's a FREE SERVICE, the seller is the one that pays the Realtors COMMISSION. I can't understand why people drive around and call every single Realtor in town when looking for homes. We all work together and are members of the same board, that means we can sell each others listings, so why waste your time and gas, when we can email you all the homes available in your criteria and price range.
Well besides incidents like this I LOVE what I do and if you need help I will be here for you.
Have Fun in your House Hunt!!!
