How to Make Someone's Day!!!

By
Real Estate Agent with Sabinske & Associates, Inc. (Albertville, St. Michael)

I really don't quite know how to say this...

Today was really rough.  We had a closing on a bank-owned property that had a purchase agreement written on April 10...yes, 3 months ago.  BANK-OWNED.  Today, it closed, dry.  But, it closed.  Touch and go all the way down to the wire.  The buyer and buyer's agent were among the best people I have ever had the privilege to work with.  It has taken every nerve in my body, a couple of drinks and more fortitude than I ever want to muster again in the next few months to get this bloody deal to close. But, the poor buyer and buyer's agent had it much worse. 

It was also my birthday.  I have had so many nice people send me wishes on facebook and I need to thank them all...and then during closing I got the nicest video birthday greeting from Jeff Turner.  How he finds the time to do that is beyond me.  But, I have always been a big fan of his, although we haven't communicated much lately.  What a guy!  I also want to thank Deb Walsh, Ryan Hukill, Petra Norris, Charlie Harden and a bunch of other great friends.  I needed this today.....

Want to make someone's day?  Whether or not, it's their birthday, just reach out and say hi....sometimes that's all it takes, especially if you know they might be going through a rough spot.  I love my friends.  Love yours, too.

Mary and Gary - thank you both.  I am honored to be in your thoughts.  You both have made me so enlightened over the past year or so.  I love reading your work.  You each have gifts that make me humble, but proud to be your friend.

Happy belated birthday!  I am glad you got your deal to closing. It is sad how a deal like that will 'suck the life out of you.'  Hope your month gets better!

Dennis - sometimes it's just the little hello, how are things going that keeps us going.  But, I'm more of a softie, unless the "Driver" takes over in a deal!!!!
