Thank You For My Blessings!

 

I try to thank God for my blessings everyday, even before my feet hit the floor.  There are obvious blessings that come to mind immediately like my beautiful wife, our children, jobs, schools, church, ability to think, learn, walk, talk, etc.......shelter, food, clothes....the list is long....thankfully!

 

God bless America

I was thinking today about how blessed I have been with my real estate clients.  Let's call them friends.  It's not about how much money I am going to net after I close a transaction.  It's about the relationship that I have gained from getting to know each client during their real estate transaction.

Do you ever find yourself focusing on the details of the transaction instead of the people involved?

 

What are some of the blessings that I get from helping my clients with their real estate needs?

 

  • I get invited into their families.  I get to know them, their children, their pets, their dreams and their struggles.  I get to learn from them.
  • I get to be an ear to listen as some families grow into larger homes as they add new children and then other families downsize from a home they have filled with memories of raising a house full of children that have since moved on.
  • I get to help people that might be facing a tough economy and just don't know what to do with their home.
  • I get to help people their their anxiety of purchasing their first home and then see that anxiety turn into excitement as they get their keys.


Now, I'm not saying that every client and transaction is smooth sailing!  Sometimes, in the heat of the moment, it's hard to see any blessings at all, but after it's all said and done, there is always something to gain.  

You see, many of the blessings are not about the actual house, purchase, sale, closing or commission check.  It's part of a much larger plan.  Keep your eyes and ears open with everyone you meet and I'm positive there is a blessing waiting to present itself. Once you find it, enjoy it and be thankful.

Like I started this blog, I thank God every day for my blessings.  To all of you that have been a part of my life and let me share in yours, Thank You!  You are a blessing!Thanks balloons

Hello Brad,

Your blog hit home with me and I wanted to thank you for sharing.

I'm thankful for much, starting with the ability to get out of bed in the morning and share another day with my family and friends.

I live and work by the "get" by "giving" philosophy.

Blessings to you and your family!
