Don't go and break out your parachute pants just yet and start doing the hammer shuffle. No it's Hammer Time because Im in the building. At the beginning of the year I was speaking with a lender that I work with on many deals and adore. She is a hard working no holds bar type of lender and if she says it gets done it will get done. If I know a deal is with her my job is 10x times easier because of her. But that's for another blog. In our discussions she told me how much other Realtors she deals with hates Orlando Bank Owned properties because they need work and the banks wont do anything to them. She was taken back, well my Realtor Heather always gets the banks to do things, a new roof, $10,000 worth of repairs you name it, she is a Hammer. And so the nickname was born.
When I meet clients and we start talking about making an offer on a property the story of The Hammer is often times brought up. So my clients like to joke if I will be a small hammer or a sledge hammer in getting them the deals they want.
Recently one client after a long struggle I got them the house they wanted for the price and terms they wanted and they praised me up and down telling me I was a sledge hammer. Needless to say the transaction wasnt a smooth one and I even had to get on the phone with her student loan company to get somethings straightened out and at that point she said your not just a sledge hammer your a golden hammer.
On the day of closing she handed me a small gift, it was a golden hammer charm, which I simply adore and love. It means the world to me because it's a representation of my hard work and dedication to my clients and their appreciation for what I do.
Maybe now I need to break out the theme song....... HAMMER TIME
