Pay it Forward....one diaper change at a time !

   We have a new "almost Buyer/Seller" that are moooooving on to larger quarters...the arrival last fall of triplets made the house shrink and the parents want to take advantage of the great selection, prices and interest rates. At this moment, wallpaper is being removed, fresh paint applied and large furniture put into storage as we get the house ready for sale and will list shortly.

  three babies At this time, parents are the parent in shifts...taking turns doing everything....eating, sleeping...changing, feeding, bathing......with little time to themselves...each other or the daunting job of house hunting.

   The calendar says....though sometimes I wonder...that spring is on the way....and that means more open houses and more homes on the market.  The internet is a wonderful thing...virtual tours and pictures galore....inside and out...but sometimes as a buyer you need more.   You want to actually see, feel and touch your favorites...look out the front door....imagine triple fun in the backyard.

         Sooooo.....we are arranging a sitter while we go on an open house tour....and taking Mom and Dad on a much needed "field trip of open houses"....lunch and a little breather from 24/7 parenting....and a peak at what the future holds in a new home for the whole family.  A great way to a more relaxing start to "happily ever after."

I would LOVE to see those babies!!!   Oprah gave the parents of 6 babies a much deserved break and I wondered how they would be able to leave them with someone else?  Was that a problem for your clients?

I watch two when I have Jack and Zack here, and that's more than enough to exhaust me...I can't imagine living "on the market" with triplets...God bless you all!

That is an excellent pay-it-forward plus it makes your job much easier when Mom and Dad are focused on the task at hand of finding a home instead of finding a diaper.

You are very observant, sympathetic and obviously empathetic realtors!  Your clients must love that in you.

Sally, What a very nice thing to do for these parents. They may be so relaxed they may fall asleep in your car!

What a wonderful gift that will be!  I'm thinking it would take more than one sitter to handle three babes....  You're a rock star!

Notice it doesn't say that  WE volunteered....I am afraid we are minus the extra hands and skill it would take to handle this task....there are nannies specially trained in working with "multiples"...gives a whole new meaning to multi-task !

Boy I'll bet they will enjoy their time out looking at homes with you.  They might want to linger and take deep breaths, but then again, they'll probably be anxious to get back to their babies and could have separation anxiety...good one  guys.
