About two weeks ago, my cell phone rang and when I answered it, a woman said "are you a real estate agent in East Goshen"?  After assuring her that yes, I was, I asked her how she found me.  Her reply was terse.  "On the Internet, isn't that why you are there"?  

I had to laugh.  Yes, that is indeed why I am there.  The woman who called me was trying to help a client move to Hersheys Mill, an over 55 community that I love right here in East Goshen.  She was a financial advisor to the woman and she made all the arrangements.  Over the course of the week preceding her client's visit, I found out through her what her client wanted and set up a tour.

Last Monday a lovely woman met me at the gate of Hershey's Mill.  We toured 8 homes.  On Tuesday we toured her top 3 picks, along with her very charming nephew.

On Wednesday we made an offer on her top pick and while I was away at the beach for a few days, the offer was accepted.

Yesterday was the home inspection.  No deal breakers there, it's a lovely unit.

We are set to close on September 29.

I am thankful to have met this lovely client, a very interesting woman that I will enjoy having in the area.  I am thankful to have been found on the Internet, because, that's why I am there!

So today, 8/19/10, even though I am not pleased that summer is coming to an end, I am thankful for many things.  I am thankful for my family and pets, thankful for my friends, my career, and thankful for this forum that enables me to meet people that ordinarily I wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet.

Carpe Diem!

Congratulations... sounds like a pleasant experience. I've met several customers from the internet, and they have been great. Gotta love that internet!

Susan,

You have to love it when a plan comes together. Being thankful too, doesn't hurt.

Congratulations Sis.

Aren't the comments funny when we ask how people find us some of the time?  I'm so happy that you helped find your lovely client a home and hope everything goes perfectly for the rest of the deal.  And maybe that financial adviser will have future people she'll refer to you as well.  I'd be sending her a nice little gift.

Congratulations, Susan, on having it all come together.  I have to agree with the others that being thankful is a great place to be and to reach out from.  I always enjoy your thankful Thursdays.

Congratulations on this pleasant transaction - I remember when many of our transactions went this smoothly - what happened to those days?

What a great story, Susan!  I bet you have a GREAT laugh-that is probably what won over the financial planner over to you.  Isn't it great that you can also have a laugh while conducting business!

What a positive story.  I was a little worried when I began to read and saw the terse comment.  I thought this might be going downhill, LOL.

It's great that the Internet steered a client your way Susan. I am very happy for you. Don't worry about summers ending. There will be more summers. Just a cycle...

Sometimes when the days are tough its great to have these days to remind you that the good far out weighs the bad. Thanks for the lift :)

Hi Russell!  I would send my own family members to you if they were relocating to Austin, that's how comfortable I am that you are the best in your area!  Russell, my son frowns upon visits unless he needs something!  :-)  Have fun this weekend.

Dub, it's taken about 2 years, but my steady blogging has paid off with 3 transactions in the 12 months.  That may not seem like a lot but it's 3 more than I would have had, and that makes me happy.

Thank you Michelle!

Margo, you do have to love it!

Kathleen, thank you.  Wishing you the same!

Thank you dear Rich!  xxoo

Tammy, I'm thinking the same thing!  A handwritten note at the very least!  People are funny when you ask them direct questions... you never know what you'll get in return!

Tanya, thank you!  I always enjoy your posts and your comments here!  xxoo

Allen, it's not over till it's over, but so far, so good!  I know what you mean though.  It seems like there is always a hurdle to get from point A to point C.  That point B is a #itch!!  :-)

Bruce, I try to always have a laugh, business or anywhere.  She was so blunt about it that I had to laugh!

Erika, aside from my melancholy moods at times, you can rest assured that at least on Thursdays, I'll be upbeat!

Gary, you are right yet each ending, no matter what it is, is hard for me.  End of summer being the hardest for some reason.  xxoo

Jessica, some days it's hard to find the up side, but I'm happy to say I usually can, even if it takes all day!
