I got a call two days ago on my Medway, MA rental. Unfortunately it was out of her price range but I offered to send her other listings that meet her criteria. I knew the chances of getting a commission out of this were next to none but I did it anyway.
Why?
This young woman and her three year old daughter are leaving a women's shelter at the end of the month and need something quickly. She got a job and now no longer qualifies to stay in the shelter. She's moving on and moving up and I knew it was the least I could do to help her.
She also let me know that there are 3 other families that need to find places to live and of course I asked her to have them call me and see what I could do to help them.
So I might not get paid. So what? Looking up these listings, taking and making phone calls is all good practice for me right now.
Maybe in the future when they are in a better position and they're ready to move again or know someone who is, they'll remember me and the kindness I showed and give me another call.
