It is such a great treat to get a review like this!
It is always a joy to work with clients whom you like - to be a part of their life changes!   I've seen this client through dating, marriage, the birth of children and three houses!   I've kept in touch with him through Facebook and Linked In and with in person coffees and occasional pop-bys.

It is always a cause for celebration when a listing closes, but there is particular excitement when the property is owned by a childhood friend and you know that you have eased a significant problem for the seller.  This was my classmate's childhood home, and now that her parents had both died, she felt like it was her last tie to her parents and her childhood.  She didn't want to live in the house but it was still hard to hold onto the property.  We talked a lot about how to let … (0 comments)
