payPay it Forward - Sign and Lockbox

We had a closing yesterday with some young kids buying their first home.

I emailed the listing agent on Thursday and asked if we could do a quick walk through before the closing.  She said that was fine and to let the buyers know that she would be there sometime this weekend to pick up her sign and lockbox.

I knew that she does not live near the home and works about 15 miles away, so I offered to pick up her sign and lockbox and bring it to closing.  She was thrilled.

Hi Belinda -- a nice gesture indeed.  Too often we hear of the adversarial relationship between the parties in a real estate transaction where a the common goal is a successful and closed transaction.   Through cooperation you have shown through this simple act we can achieve great results.  Congrats on another closed transaction.

That is always a nice gesture, as usually the buyer's agent is the last one at the home!   It is pretty easy to bring it to the closing, and they are grateful!

You are just one real sweetie, but I already knew that, even though you chose to go to Las Vegas on a mini vacation instead of San Diego!
