After a long day that began at 5:30am I finally arrived at home tired but happy that we closed a purchase on a foreclosed property in Murrieta Ca. for my buyer client who had the misfortune of being in a rental property in Menifee Ca. that went into foreclosure and as in most instances went back to the bank.

 Needless to say this was a shock to my clients when they found out they were going to need to move and it was understandable to me when we met that they were anxious and scared so we began the process to find them a house to buy and make it their home. Now, I work the listing side of real estate owned (REO) properties representing the sellers (banks) and the buyers side in some circumstances and in this case I represented the buyers as we found a house that a friend of mine had just put on the market and guess what, it was an REO.

 Being involved in many REO transactions this was nothing new to me but little did I know what lay in store for us as we proceeded off to escrow with this transaction. To make a long story short this thing went sideways and to the listing agents credit because of their experience and to my experience and my clients trust and patience plus 72 hours of hands on work we got this transaction closed and my clients will be moving into their new home this weekend.

 Due to the nature of the real estate business sometimes the public does not fully understand what really is involved behind the scene in a real estate transaction but as a Professional I consider that simply as " thats what I do" and do my best to make the dreams and goals of my clients become reality. This was the case here but I have to admit it stretched me further than ever before and I could only imagine the stress on my clients but through it all they hung in there to the end.

 Back to arriving at home I just received a phone call from my clients, that brought about this article, thanking me for my work and I had to thank them for their effort as well and the greatest compliment I have ever received was this, We will sleep well tonight.

 May their sleep be sound and their dreams sweet.

What is the best compliment you have received?
