Hawaii Military Relocation | Clients Being Proactive!

Pick up from airport He arrives back to the states after a tour in Iraq. He decides to take his family to Disneyland for a week vacation and his children are thrilled.

His wife is having a bunch of fun too....until he just can't leave Disneyland and all the WHOLE days events behind without....seeing the fireworks going off above the castle.

It was HIS Disneyland dream though he tried to play it off that this whole vacation was for the kids. LOL!

This was one of the stories they told me yesterday after I picked them up from the airport.

They were adamant to be proactive and have a home recorded by time they transferred here in a couple of months and when they got home from Disneyland they called me.

You see, he had been in Iraq searching around the internet and he found me and sent her links to my 'stuff'. She read everything she could find that I had written.

Wow.

All that hard work is paying off.

Well, we had an offer accepted last Wednesday and they hopped on a plane to view their home for the first time and to also have a home inspection done (which is this morning).

After picking them up we headed to First American Title and dropped off their initial deposit and drove to Ewa Gentry....to the home 'their soon to be home'.

They walked in and loved it! I'm glad I went to view it and take video and pictures and had sent them all so they could see more than the few pictures on the mls. Still, it's not the same as walking in the home...and though they loved the pictures...they loved it more standing in the middle of 'their home' for the first time!

Hawaii Military Relocation family being proactive in their home purchase and PCS to Hawaii.

Oh...did I tell you? They are first time Home Buyers too!

Way to go Sally. I believe this is the perfect example of why some of us love to work with home buyers.

You just don't get the same "rush" when selling a listing.

Darn right Lenn! I 'get off' on the feeling a buyer gets when they walk into a home and say "this is it!".

I'm with Lenn on this one. And I'm with YOU Sally because you are the best example here in the rain of one who consistently churns out fantastic posts about your beautiful Hawaii. You deserve every bit of this success. Your clients are very, very fortunate to have found you. And so am I :)

Sally, nothing like walking through the real door and feeling like you are home.

Hi Sally, what a great way to say "Welcome Home".....with a new home! This shows you the power of the Internet and your ability to create a way for them to find you. A great ending to a great story.

I met a great couple today that found me on the internet, and they were such a joy to spend the morning with. It's really exciting to see how you really can find business....good business, this way!

Hope everybody has a great Saturday!

This sounds like another job well done WooHoo!!!! Your blogging and hard work is really starting to pay off and I couldn't be happier for you. Way to go!!!!!

What a wonderful story for so many reasons...image him in Iraq reading your posts and now they have found a house they love thanks to you. Great job!

Sounds like they are in good hands. Back together after a long tour in Iraq and a new home in Hawaii after a week in Disneyland. It doesn't get much better than that.

Sally,

What an exciting story! Nice to hear the enthusiasm was so contagious for everyone. Job well done!

That picture says it all....look at his smile, I love it :) Yep as everyone said you are really the perfect agent for a first time buyer because you watch out for their interests. That's not even counting everything you know about Military Relocations to Hawaii. I am thrilled for both you and your clients.

Jen: That was nice of you Jen. And more than you know...I appreciate you too :) (just sometimes I just can't get around this huge place!)

Gary Woltal: This was an unusual one...they were smart to be proactive...otherwise, with their large family it'd be hard to hang out in a hotel while the transaction closes after they got here. This was a wonderful fall into place...and they saw the place for the first time yesterday. :)

Gary White: It sure is....and for this family to endure the hardship for him going off to protect our country...it surely is a wonderful feeling to see a family connect once again and surely be so happy to be one big happy family....with a new first home too!

Sally, Of course your hard work is paying off, I would trust you to find me a place I would love in a heartbeat! I imagine the thrill of hearing "I love it!" is irreplacable. Congrats to you on so many levels!!

Sally some military Buyers/Borrowers are being a lot more proactive. I am doing a loan right now on someone in the Army that will be back in the States at the end of next month, and wants to have a house bought by the time he gets back. His wife has Power of Attorney, so we are meeting tomorrow (Sunday) at my office to get the loan going.

Sally, wonderful customer service you provide. I'm convinced that what we say on our blogs will be found by the consumers. Great work....! ;-)

Ann: I like the connection ....when both sides click and everything runs smoothly :)

BB: Thanks so much! I really have been a blogging maniac for all this time...it's a good feeling...I've had a few this year like that :)

Diane: No kidding....that's just an unreal experience.

Randy: They're having a good time....and what more could they ask for? Like you said, back home and back together...Disneyland, Hawaii and a new home all their own...almost :)

Lynda: Thanks! I love enthusied clients...and I'm sure they're glad they have an enthused agent LOL!

Thanks Kathy! I do know my stuff don't I? :) :) I really have worked hard to get where I am...and though it happens in spurts...it just validates that blogging and consistant work here has been the source for all of this happening now :)

Thanks so much Carole...gotta love these people...their laugh is contagious too. (they keep teasing mine lol)

I've had a few like that in the past too George...and in the end it IS the wife that picks anyway lol! Good luck on yours as well!

Teri: I've been convinced since I started closing the ones that actually have relocated and contacted me.

HI SALLY!

Great story! I love to hear stories about military folk. They hold a special place in my heart :o) (husband active duty). Good for them...I know that they were in the best hands!

Yvette: My dad, my ex, my son...all military....what a life I had...traveling the world :...even to Izmir Turkey, Japan and the Philippines. It's a good life for traveling :)
