Wait A Year

yeah it shouldn't matter to you unless you are going to save her from touble by waiting. It's about them

Good for you for being an understanding agent John. There are some out there that would pressure her to do something quickly. They wouldn't think about the best interest of the client, but would think about their wallet.

Great post, you have got the idea, it's really all about the client and what they want to do.  She'll know when she's ready to do it and in the meantime just keep in touch with her, send her little cards in the mail with inspirational words and call once and a while.  When she's ready you'll probably be the first to know.

I look at it this way:  I'll still have to eat in a year.

John she may be confused alittle. I have heard the one year waiting period is derived from waiting a year after a loved one passes because usually a couple that has been married a long time, the other one passes due to lonelyness, and that first year is crutial. But when my father in law passed away. We all took some extra time with her to keep her busy and happy so she wouldn't just "give up". A new home would give her alot to do.....and keep her inspired with new and exciting things. A new reason to continue living.

I don't like pushy salesmen either. Way to be patient and concerned for the needs of your customer.

Great that you have the patience and compassion to help with her needs.

Good for you.

Your patience and concern will help her.  It may be her family that is telling her to wait.  (I like the tunes!  I'm glad I own the company so no one can tell me to turn it off.)

You are so kind for being so patient with her. After my fiance and I broke up, I had to option of renting or buying. I went with renting because things were so tragic I didn't feel as if I could make a big decision. I didn't want to wake up a year later and say "Why did I move here?". I've been renting for almost one year and I am not ready to buy. I think waiting a year is a good idea or really when you feel like you are ready.

John, thats right, let her gather herself. This will pay off in the long run.

I'm also a big proponent of patience... it's not good to make decisions when there are too many what-ifs.
