I'm Counting on You!
Pretty weighty words from a client when heading out for the start of a home search.
I helped this buyer purchase a condo some years ago - he was living overseas and almost all the communication was via email. We never met but the transactions went swimmingly.
I finally met hm the other day, upon a visit to the states with plans to sell the condo, and purchase a home to live in because of a job transfer and relocation to the San Diego area.
These words made evident the level of trust I had earned thus far, but also signify the tremendous impact we have on people's lives when buying and selling. The role we play for the time we are involved in a home purchase or sale, and beyond, is far more significant that we sometimes realize.
And perhaps that's true from the perspective of our clients, too, even though they may not know it at the time.
Our role is not just helping them buy or get rid of a car, or furniture.
It's helping them find a place to call home, to build a life, enjoy friends and family, and surround themselves 24/7 with people and things they love, perhaps for many years. We hear the excitement, the anxiety, the pain as they transition. And we are often involved in significant shifts in the family as these moves takes place, anticipated or not.
"I'm counting on you" are words not to be taken lightly.
But they are wonderful to hear!
