The month of November is the start of the holiday season for many families in our great nation. By the time Halloween hits, a nostalgic feeling seems to settle in our hearts for the thoughts of many holdiays that have passed and the one yet to come. The holidays bring a sense of joy, and certainly some stress. During this holiday season, let us not forget the reason for the season.
First off, the reason we have Thanksgiving is because of a fellowship that occurred long ago between two different nations coming together in a time of need. It symbolized the giving of one's people to another. The simple act of breaking bread and sharing one's food started a holdiay tradition in which we remember the things that we are most thankful for.
As Realtors, we are thankful for the many clients that we are able to serve each year. My clients are the reason I am in this business. Being part of such a big decision in a person's life and being able to be a positive influence to a family is more than one can really ask for. Getting paid for it and seeing the gratitude on my clients' faces is just icing on the cake. Finding a job that one really enjoys is a blessing from the Lord.
I am thankful for the loan officers that make our clients' lives as easy as possible during one of the biggest decision-making times of their life. Loan officers have to deal with the prequalification, all the paperwork, and with their underwriters. Sometimes, they are the bearers of bad news. But most loan officers willl show you how to get on track to buying a home, if you don't qualify right away.
I am thankful for the closing officers that are behind the scene. They are crucial during the process, pulling together information from a few different sources in order to make Real Estate closings in a timely manner. At the signing, these escrow officers make their job seem so easy, but behind the scene they are pulling things together in just a few hours because all the information does not get to them until the very end and by that time, most people have to close within the day.
And lastly but certainly not least, I am thankful for my family. They put up with my crazy schedule and love me unconditionally. Family is such an important aspect of any carreer. All too often, Realtors get lost in the frenzy and busy-ness of our business and we forget the reason we are doing this. Our clients want to see a Happy, Joyful and Well Rounded Realtor. So let's give thanks and remember why we do what we do!
