Dear Tish, I'm sorry but we need to withdraw our listing . . .

It's great to help someone get their issues resolved and stay where they wanted to. While we don't get paid for not getting the sale, the payoff is greater in helping another out. It will come back to you one way or the other, and not necessarily from them.

You absolutely did the right thing and beacause of that, you will gain much more.

I wholeheartedly agree with you and am proud to be a part of an industry that has real people in it.  We all know the ones that aren't, but, thank goodness they are few and far between.  You should be very proud to be a champion in the eyes of that grateful family.  Much kudos to you...

Your Awesome Tish

What agreat atitude you have. I wish there were more like you ...........Brad

Tish, that is wonderful, and your client will be forever grateful to you.  They are very fortunate to have you along their side and you are one great example of how a great agent should work.

All I can say is good for you. Great job. Goes back to what this business is supposed to be about.

Thank you for such a positive post and refreshing attitude. I'm sure you will get the "lost" business back through referrals from the people you helped so much to keep their home.

Spoken like the true professional that you are ... as always!  How good it is to know that there are people like you in this business.  And you didn't lose a listing you gained a life-long raving fan that will bring you lots of business, but you knew that!   

I am glad to see that there are others out there with the same mind set that I have.  I have always believed that if you are willing to work hard and do the right thing then you will succeed.  If you are one that just focuses on the money then people will see through you and it will be much more difficult to succeed.

Hi Tish,

I don't know you, but you sound like a really nice person. Like you said, it may have stung a bit, but the good that you did will last much longer than the sting. I am sure that the help  you provided will come back to reward you many times over.

G-d bless you. 

It really is important to give people all the options so they can save their home if possible, but then be there is they need us.

Nicely done Tish!  I find that most realty agents I have been in contact with are in the business of making people happy.

However, there are a few out there who only see the dollar signs and they ruin it for the rest of us.

Good Karma always pays dividends! Well done Tish!

You definitely have the right attititude, Tish!  Unfortunately there are a lot of Realtors out there where it is about the money.  I'm with you and want what my clients want foremost!

Hi Tish. First of all I want to say where have you been?:-). Miss you. Very happy to see that you not only helped your clients keep their home but you are not mad as well. You are definitely bound to get more business from this. Have a great and safe Labor Day Weekend.

Never ever upset about someone being able to keep their home! Carrie

I got goose bumps! What an awesome story. I love being fired for that reason!

So many agents are in the business for all the wrong reasons. While making money is important, the most important thing is that you make good connections and a good reputation.
