I Cannot Believe I Just Did THAT!

Real Estate is full of EXCITEMENT so when I saw the November ActiveRain Contest - I Cannot Believe I Just Did THAT! by Kathleen Daniels, I knew exactly the story to share. When it comes down to it, I do what needs to be done to make my client happy and get homes Sold. On a Walk Through of a home closing that day. The buyer noticed a large branch had fallen in the nights storm, it ripped a shutter off and peeled off a piece of siding. They wer enot closing unless it was fixed. The seller was older, they could not fix it themselvesand their belongings were all in a moving truck ready to close on their new home immediately after the sale of their home closed. The buyer complained, the seller cried and i grabbed the phone...

 

We called handy men, siders, builders and no one could come right now. The area was just above a flat roof. It is a rather easy fix. I had my drillm a hammer and a screwdriver. There was no ladder but a window that lead to the flat roof. Sure i could fit.... So out the window i went. The siding went back into place easily. I hung up the shutter and began to screw it in when out came bees, they could have been hornets but either way i am allergic. THE BEST PLAN is to run away, full speed. So off i ran... right off the roof.... the buyer said It looked like my legs were moving in mid air just like the movies. Down i went right into a big bush. I think I just layed there and made sure everything was still where it was suppose to be.

 

People laughed, people cried and people poked me. Either way I was fine. The siding and shutter was fixed, and we went to close both sales. Just doing what I do best, selling homes, showing off and entertaining people....

 

I leave you with my now "infamous" fact, There is a RIGHT WAY in order to Buy or Sell one's home. Many Home Owners may not know there is a difference between Agents.

 

You should know that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST, not just the biggest Real Estate Agent or Broker.

 

By using a philosophy, which is simple, to provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process, I can help you find your dream home . 

 

 

THE TOP TIPS TO FIND A "GREAT" REAL ESTATE AGENT

 

 1. LEARN THIS ONE FACT: One should know that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest Agent or Company. It is important to Hire the BEST Agent. In NH that could be me.   

2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT AGENT: As a Buyer OR Seller in this market you need every advantage you can to get your home sold. It starts with choosing the right agent. a. Ask for a Full time agent whose sole job is to sell homes. b. Ask for a Full service agent who will guide you through each step of the selling process. Discount brokers often equal discount services. c. Ask for a Local agent who knows your neighborhood and is readily available when you need them is a must. Out of town agents can leave you high and dry in your time of need. d. Ask for a well experienced Listing Agent can give you the advantages you need when selling your home. Not all agents are created equal. Choose only the best.  

 3. HOME BUYERS SHOULD START BY:  Getting a FREE PRE-QUALIFICATION with a local and trusted lender. They will look at your credit and financial picture and let you know what type of mortgage you may qualify for and what your interest rate and monthly payment may be.   

4. HOME SELLERS SHOULD START BYGetting a FREE MARKET ANALYSIS. Learn what your property is worth in today's market along with how ling it may take to sell. If you are ready to sell now, learn what you should ask for it. How much offers may come in at and what the approximate selling price should be. NH Home owners should contact me now.   

 

 

IN SUMMARY the key to having a successful purchase or sale can increase simply choosing a better agent. The secret is that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. I leave you with now infamous philosophy, which is simple, to provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process.

O U C H! This could have really been a "stinger". Glad it was nothing serious and the deal was closed...

Scott, I can only imagine what you looked like as you were jumping away from the bees. Thankfully you were not hurt .... you corrected the issues and it closed.  Thank you for participating in the contest.

Hi Scott - Bees, with an allergy or jumping off a roof is a tough choice, but it sounds like you acted instinctively. You could tie this one in with the gratitude contest, grateful there was a bush and it turned out okay :)

Oh my gosh, Scott...I can't believe this story. I'm trying to picture it and I'm laughing ( not at you...oh well yes maybe a little ). But really I'm glad you weren't hurt...then it wouldn't have been such a great story.

Wow, now that is customer service!  I am sure your clients will never forget that moment as well! Being allergic to wasp stings myself, I imagine you were a little swollen at closing.  Glad for a safe, happy ending!

I'm just very sad to read how demanding the buyers were at that time.  If it wasn't major damage, and it reads as if it was not, then heck, cut the elderly seller some slack.  But, I'm so glad to read you handled it!!
