Positive Karma in Philadelphia Real Estate
Have you ever had one of those settlements where there was delay after delay because the buyers mortgage was not ready? And then red flags start to come up and questions such as "Will the mortgage go through at all?". As a seller, you face the question, what do you do? Terminate the agreement and market the property or agree to extensions? In this specific case, I was the seller.
Something in my heart told me to wait it out and be patient. And yes, we made it to a settlement table. There was 
a lot of work in between where everyone helped each other to allow the goal to be accomplished. I give kudos to all the people involved. What was really special to me was receiving a handwritten note at settlement from the buyer. When I opened it up that night, I was filled with gratitude. It reminded me that real estate is not just about homes and property values; it is about people, their goals and their journeys. And when you are instrumental in that or even a part of it, you really are part of something beautiful, part of something larger than yourself.
It is times like this that I really love what I do. Meeting and helping amazing people will have a positive impact on you...a feeling I am referring to today as Positive Karma in Real Estate. For those that have experienced this karma, it is a wonderful feeling. It is this example of a thoughtful thank you note that that makes all the difference in the world to me. Another example was being invited to a clients home a few weeks ago for a dinner and pool party, having that quality time outside of real estate. These examples remind me that I am doing something right, contributing in a positive way, and in a sense, giving back to the community.
And speaking of positive karma, the buyer of my property is a yoga instructor. I just visited her studio for the 2nd time just yesterday as I write this and look forward to going back often. Positive karma is already taking place in a different form from one action to another...How cool is that ?
Have you had any similar experiences?
