A Great Reminder for Us All!

By
Home Stager with Rooms With Style

So, this morning I wake up, stumble to the coffee maker and as my beans are grinding and I start smelling the fresh aroma of coffee, I pick up my phone and check out the junk emails that I need to delete that came during the night.  Coffee Bag

Well, I came upon this one left late last night from a Realtor and I won't be deleting it!

 

"I just want you to know how much you rock! I listed the home on 90th ave on Friday. They took the last 3 weeks to do everything you asked. I mean everything! By 6pm Saturday we had 15 showings, 8 offers and now one sold house!!!

Your abilities as a stager go far beyond that of decorating knowledge. That's only a portion of what makes you incredible at your job. Your ability to easily connect with people and create an immediate sense of trust allowing them to accept what needs to be done and approach all tasks with an open mind versus the emotions that consistently tell sellers that they know better and your recommendations wont make that much of a difference. When people accept and trust the process of the professionals they hire, the results always come. ALWAYS!!!!

Thank you again for your wonderful demeanor with my clients and of course....allowing me to share your talents with them. You make me look like a rock star!"


Now if that isn't the nicest thing for the Realtor to stop and write after an extremely hectic day with 8 offers in one day! What a great guy and it reflects why I like working with him as well. 

It made my day! So a reminder to us all, in a culture where we hear only the negative.....if you like what others have done for you, tell them!  

And when you are working with others, put yourself in their shoes and be kind. Just be kind.

It is fun to hear the good stories isn't it Adrian? 

I know Peggy...that agent was swamped with getting 8 offers yesterday yet late last night he took the time to write me that email. How cool is that!

It did put a big smile on my face Gretchen!

Yup...doing the happy dance all day Carla.

Shar, YOU ROCK!!!! Here you are getting such a nice accolade, yet you turn it into a lesson about taking the time to notice others. Just accept it, YOU ARE THE STAR HERE, not the author of that letter.

Good advice Erica!

Isn't that the truth Michael....they do go a long way. Thank you. 

Thanks Tim, it did feel good.

Thanks Sharon. It has been a happy day!

It made me feel so good Ellen to be emailed about good things instead of some little thing they don't like about something. It really did hit me that we all need to do it more. The Realtor took time to do that late at   night after navigating 8 offers. He could have just patted himself on the back and moved on but he didn't. He recognized the changes in the house that my suggestions made and the ability to get the sellers onboard with them all. He didn't have to do that and what a great reflection on him.

It's always nice when someone lets you know that your efforts were appreciated and that things worked out because of your hard work.  We don't hear about this very often so savor the moment.
