Above and Beyond .. Helping Client Pick up Her New Ride!!

I had received a referral from relocation and this lady was moving here to Charlotte to work for one of the major banks.  She knew no one here and had no family here. 

 

She made several visits to the city and I always picked her up from one of the hotels uptown.  She finally made a decision and purchased a beautiful house.  At closing she asked me if I could do her a big favor.  She had purchased this Jeep from a car dealer sight unseen and needed a ride to the dealership to pick up her new ride.

 

The dealership was in Monroe, NC so we got all of her belongings from the hotel and headed southeast towards Monroe, NC.

 

Once we located the dealership I waited in my car for her to finalize her transaction.  I helped her move her belongings from my car to her new Jeep.  She had the biggest smile on her face as I waved and drove away.  She stood waving at me with the keys to her new house in one hand and the keys to her new Jeep in the other hand.

 

What really tickled me was that she previously owned  a Jaguar and now was thrilled to own and drive a Jeep.

 

It felt great that day to help a client in need.

Judith, that was an awesome thing to do.  Wait until she starts telling her new friends what her Real Estate Agent did for her!

Good evening Evelyn Johnston .  Thank you for commenting and she has referred so much business to me plus has bought and sold her own homes with my help several times.  She is a very special lady and friend.

Sounds like you went above and beyond and got a friend on top of a client out of that one.  Good for you, and good for her for getting her new ride!

Good evening John Meussner.  She has become a great friend and recently I helped her to sell her beautiful home and she moved to Venice, Florida.

Oh  Judith Parker I'd wanted one since I was 17 and finally got it about 6 years ago. There is nothing like taking the top and the doors and going thru streams and up hills in the woods. "The Boy's" absolutely love to go along for the ride. Sometimes we camp in the George Washington Forest. Awesome.

Judith, not surprised you went out of your way to drive your client to her new jeep. She sounds adventurous changing from luxury car to off road jeep.

Judith, I'm really enjoying reading all the "Above and Beyond" posts. And your story is certainly one that binds a client to you. It's interesting that your client went from a Jaguar to a Jeep with a little help from her Realtor; Judith...I think she likes the letter "J".

Thanks for sharing this story. I hope that all of your extra client requests become as easy as giving them a ride to a dealership. The best part of the story is that she was comfortable in asking you for help as a friend.

Judith, when you consider that some agents think it is an inconvenience to drive 10 miles for a client that speaks volumes about your commitment to your clients
