...is Steve at Shore Thing Title.

He actually introduced himself to me as my new best friend.  I had never seen him before and he comes into my office bearing gifts.  Actually it was a commission check from a settlement he conducted the night before -- a settlement I was unable to attend (don't get me started on the reason for that!) w/my buyers.  It was the second settlement, the second leg, actually, of a triple dip (you gotta love those). 

Anyways here he comes into the office and declares that he's my new best friend and that i should keep that in mind.

Steve's the owner of Shore Thing Title based in Towson, Maryland and he's been incredible in getting us to the closing table when we did on this one particular bank-owned (don't get me started on REOs!) house.

So, we chat for a minute and he leaves.

I'll be darned if he didn't call me about 3 hours later to give me the contact info for a couple (good friends of his, actually) that was looking for a good Realtor. "I have just the lady for you," he tells me he told them and ",she'll be calling you soon."

Oh, I called them alright and now I'm looking at a double dip (you gotta love those) -- a listing and a sale (just waiting on the call from the l/a to say we're in like Flynn?).

I just met the man, for goodness sake!

Life's good for me and my new best friend.
