In the past three years that I have been the owner of my own business, I have had the opportunity to meet so many people, Stagers, Agents, Builders, Contractors and Homeowners. This has been a wonderful time in my life, and a time of change for me.
As we go through our day to day routine of “business as usual” there are certain professionals that we meet along the way that just seem to out shine others. It maybe how they handle themselves and their clients, or their passion for what they do. What ever it is, it’s special.
One of these professionals is Al Donohue, of Marron Gildea & Donohue. As some of you know, Al became a partner just this past year. It does not surprise me; Al has become one of the top producing Agents in Ridgewood, NJ. He is so committed to his clients, providing them with impeccable service.
Al recently posted on his blog about finding his "Blogging Voice". While he may be looking for his blogging voice, he has certainly found his business voice.
This past June, I had the pleasure of being invited to Al’s annual “Client Appreciation BBQ”. There were over 150 people there, from co-worker to clients, including their children. There were so many activities for the children, a giant waterslide, face painting, caricature drawing and much, much more. Hey, even the Good Humor Ice Cream Man showed up in Al’s driveway (courtesy of Al, of course).
As I began to meet and talk with these people, I realized that Al’s relationship with his clients was more then just selling them a house, it was about selling them a home, a neighborhood, a community, and that he would still be around even after the deal was done.
Al is a real family man and is always involved in his community. It is a pleasure to know Al and to work with him on some of his listings. He is an achiever and is always moving forward with his career. He is a true professional.
