Motivational Power Quote

 

 

A Place Called Home  

“An idealist is a person who helps

other people to be prosperous.”

Henry Ford, founder of Ford Motor Company   

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

 

A place called home

 

Helping your customers to find a home can create a great sense of personal satisfaction for a real estate professional. Successfully navigating through the maze of buying process and watching your customers eyes light up when they find the right home makes everything worthwhile.

 

What we do as Realtor® is to help our customers to find and make a home.

 

Our family home in New Jersey has been in the family for over 100 years. Every time that I visit my sister not only am I visiting with my family but I’m also reliving the memories of growing up in the home. I’m reliving special times with the family and friends.

 

I can remember walking to the ice cream store in the evening and playing baseball at the park. I also remember playing tag and running through the streets and yes I remember some of the neighbors not being too happy about that one.

 

There was a sense neighborhood and a sense of belonging.  

 

A home is far more then sticks and bricks. It’s a nest for the family, security for the kids, a neighborhood for kids to explore and make friends in and a place to form lasting relationships and friends. 

 

A home becomes a lifetime of memories.

 

Your ability to help your customers to find a home will have a positive impact on your customer’s lives in so many ways.

 

Helping your customer to fill full the American dreams and to buy their first home will create pride of ownerships. It will also create a stable environment for them, their family and a place that call home.

 

With every home that we sell we create the potential for your customers to enjoy their lives and to create memories that they carry with them for a life time.

 

Realtors®, mortgage brokers, title companies, stagers, home inspection companies and all the real estate related services take a property and transform it into a place called home.

Lou, now that's a terrific explanation of what if feels like to be a Realtor®!  Lee and I call a home our 'happy place'.  And aren't you fortunate to have your family home still IN the family.  Sweet that is...

That is an interesting quote Lou. I always thought that description was that of an entrepreneur not an idealist...

Until we can take the damn price tag off the home and place REAL value on it I fear not much will change. When we went down this nasty path of ripping huge chunks of cash out of properties to live a lifestyle most could not have ever done without financing it and it all crashed we now seem to look at a home in a much different way. Thats the sad part but the good part is your memories and your quote from Ford are SPOT ON!

Nothing will replace those great memories as a child and if thats what an idealist is then sign me up (or maybe I am already signed up)

Lou, I really like this... helping others prosper is the key to living a fulfilled life. I love the feeling I get when buyers walk into their new home for the first time, and have made an educated and informed decision.   I can't describe the feeling of satisfaction I get out of it.
