She called me several months ago while my father was in the hospital. She has that house right on that Farm Road in Dayton, (if you know Dayton, you'd know it immediately...) She has had it listed for over a year. See, her husband died...Her story would truely move your heart, but that's a confidetial story, so just use your imagination, then multipy by 12. That's how sweet and giving she is.

She was convinced that her Realtor she had the house listed with was going crazy, or senile...and she's utterly broke. She now lives in Dallas...she had decided to lease out this house since it is not selling. Her current Realtor does not do property management.

I have spoken with her maybe 10 times now. She was getting the siding replaced on the house, and repairing a deck. Then she sort of fell of the planet. I figured she must have found a buyer or something. That's fine. I actually KNOW that her current Realtor IS of sound mind, so I hate to snaangeltch a listing away from her.

Well, the sweet lady just phoned me. She still wants to lease out this house. She has actually LOCATED a nice couple, (that I happen to know), that want to lease the house. She has these friends that are going to help her get the house cleaned out and shaped up so that they can move in.

After all of the time I spent with her on the phone, I just had to be honest with her. It really does not sound like she NEEDS me to help her lease out this house or be a property manager. I know I just sort of threw $900 out the window, but it would be WRONG for me to take her money, (very easy money for me...but still...wrong! Wrong! Wrong!)

I gave her advice about how to do the lease. I told her I would be more than happy to help her with the contract, but really, she doesn't need me. She really sounded very unsure, like "you're sure you don't want my money??" kind of unsure.

So, she promised me if something falls through with this nice couple, she WILL call me and I will lease it out for her. I told her that I welcome referrals. This is just how I am. I guess this is why I am not rich. But at least I am HONEST and I can live with my decisions.

Call me if you need help with REAL ESTATE in the Clear Lake/Pasadena/Baytown/Crosby/Kingwood area.

Amy, you and I must be from the same scool. Many times I give Free Advice....I do a lot of Land and there are people who should not be buying land....Ironically they do not appreciate my candid comments...I know I am doing them a favor. Good for you. I look in the mirror and then go to sleep peacefully. It is not all about a commission. I salute you:))
