I'm actually looking forward to sitting down and writing after all the running around I've been doing for the past couple of days.

I have a client that I feel so bad for. They moved here a year ago on a job transfer and needed two years make sure the job was going to "stick". We had an arduous time trying to find them something because their previous housing was very private and secluded, so they wanted the same thing. In the 11th hour of moving here we finally found something that had a private backyard and an inground pool.

Here it is a year later and they get a call from the owners that they need to cut the lease short from 2yrs to 1yr because they are moving back to the area.

I don't handle lease clients anymore but since this is a past client and they are looking to buy in the future if they decide to stay in the area, I took them on. So off we go looking for homes again, this time we are in the final hour and they just haven't found anything they are wild about. A lot of the homes are not kept up very well and hardly any of them are private in the backyard.

We even expanded the search price range and area but nothing is what would really make them feel "at home". I've had a couple of agents make comments to me that "You must feel aweful, wasting all that time with them, when you're not going to make very much."

I'm like, "Uh, I do feel aweful, but because I haven't been able to find them something they'd be happy with, not because I'm not going to get rich off them!"

I was pretty frank with these couple of people that made these comments because I feel this is a SERVICE INDUSTRY, and a BIG reason I got my license in the first place was because I was unhappy with the Service I was receiving as an investor.

I've seen a few blogs written on being "salespeople" and my 2 cents coinsides with the comments on those blogs, and that is that they home will sell itself, but we can sell ourselves to customers by providing value through service & knowledge.  

Anyway I hope this couple's job works out so they can Buy a home and make it what they want.
