Special offer

I just got the best compliment from my buyer

By
Real Estate Agent with Century 21 New Millennium

I have been working with a buyer who is purchasing a home in Maryland for $69,000.  In Maryland it is pretty rare to see single family homes under $100,000.  This home is a foreclosure that is in move-in condition and only needs a bit of work to be gorgeous.  My buyer plans to fix it up and use it as a rental property.

The transaction has hit quite a few hurdles with the seller not being able to turn the water on for the home inspection and then having errors on the deed.  We were originally supposed to close on October 14.

We finally closed today!  The buyer brought me a wonderful basket of home-made fruit jam and jellies. 

I called her this evening to tell her how much I appreciated the basket.  She said "I know you are not making a lot of money on this deal but you treated me as though I was a million dollar buyer".

She just made my night.  Sometimes this job can be exhausting, but its all worth it when you have a happy client in the end and they are appreciative of the work you put in to get them there.

GREAT job Stacey!!! I remember buying my first home and being made to feel it just wasn't important because it wasn't high dollar...one of the reasons I got in to real estate! So I could treat others better than I was treated.

And thank you! Agents like you help give us a GOOD name!! :)
