Just because my buyer got sick, didn't mean I got to go back to bed.

I woke up this morning ready to go show potential homes to a buyer that had been on a MLS search for several months. Before I even got out of bed at 6:30 am, she called to tell me that she was really sick and would have to reschedule.

713 Pinebough

Not planning on being awake for another hour I was not in my sorts yet. I simply thanked her for letting me know and to call me when she was feeling better. I then got up, took the 6 year old to school and got the oldest on the bus. I was ready to show property at 9 and had already set the appointments so I decided to go ahead and preview the homes for the buyer.

I got to the first home and it was adorable so I decided to do something different for my buyer. Just because she was sick and could not come to the home didn't mean that I could not bring it to her. I took a video of the home. I only had my digital camera with me so I used the video feature it has. I played a song from Pandora on my cell phone in the back ground. It sounds a little cheesy I know but given my last minute decision to do this for my buyer I had to improvise a little.

Here is one of the videos that I made for her. 7030 Honey Tree Lane in Indian Trail, NC

What a smart idea. Your buyer should think you are just the best!

Way to go! The video is pretty good for just a digital camera version!

It was considerate of your buyer to call and let you know.  But it was ingenious for you to go ahead and preview AND to shoot the video for the buyer!  Great idea.

Lisa, that wasn't a bad video, and I am sure your buyer appreciated the thoughtfulness.
