Congratulations Dorie Dillard Austin TX for completing three very wise and educational posts for the March to a Solution|ActiveRain March 2023 Challenge!
Going back to re-read the three stories you shared for the challenge, reminds me of a quote by Jean De La Bruyere: "Out of difficulties miracles grow." Something important to remember when faced with deeper problems than we anticipated, is to know, it isn't just a problem that needs to be solved, it is one of life's lessons: "Keep Digging... You'll find the root of the problem."
Dorie, in pondering your stories for this March 2023 Challenge, I would add for the benefit of all Members on ActiveRain, don't add to the problem--- solve the problem! If you don't, it can march you into trouble.
In your first story, "Not An Average Moving Day," you set the stage, we are dealing with people trying to achieve one of their most expensive investments and stress is bound to happen. It is only natural. Now we all know, we need to be prepared, and we can expect "some war stories in dealing with people during an emotional time of buying or selling a home." It happens. This is where emotional intelligence on our part helps by putting things into proper prospective while helping our clients the most. In addition, when clients know we are on their side, helping them cope with difficult situations, we are more likely to receive repeat business or referrals.
In sum, when working a transaction with people on both sides of the transaction, regardless of which side you are on, "It's a give and take" transaction.
Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist and I present you, Dorie Dillard with two hands full of virtual gold for your participation and completion of three wonderful stories teaching life lessons.
