We all have horror stories about difficult people in our lives, don't we. Well, this isn't one of them. This is about the kind of clients who makes this crazy business worthwhile and restore my faith in humankind.
We have been working with these folks for a while now. They live out of state and have property they need to sell before they can relocate here, but every time they come up, we get together and show them what's new in our market. As client's they're great to work with and when they finally get moved here, I suspect our working relationship will become a lasting friendship. One of the many interests we share is a love of dogs.
This last weekend, we lost our beloved 13-year old chocolate Lab, Abby. We sent a number of emails out about Abby's passing and the circumstances surrounding it. (If you own dogs, you will want to read the post IMPORTANT WARNING FOR DOG OWNERS) Today, we got a call from this client to say how sorry she was to hear about our loss. Abby often went with us to show property and our client considered herself Abby's godmother. But what really astonished us is that she has ordered a gift basket for us! A personal phone call to share our sorrow was certainly more than expected...but to also send us a gift basket just confirms how special these people are.
Yea, there are people in this world who are just plain difficult. In this case, these are nice people...and nice people rock!
