Real estate is more than selling

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Verani Realty

HUD homeToday, I took Monika's clients into a home they have under-agreement. These buyers are really excited about buying their first home and they had contacted Monika last night about getting access today and measure for window treatments.  Monika couldn't make it as she had already booked an other appointment. One of the nice things about working together as a TEAM is that we are able to cover each others appointments when needed.

Seeing the excitement of these first time home buyers was really gratifying. The home they are buying is a terrific value and in very good condition. It is a HUD owned home and has water rights to Big Island Pond, which is a very desirable pond with high property values.

We spent about an hour in the home and for me personally it was a very well spent hour. Just seeing and feeling the excitement of these buyers was a perfect topper for my Sunday afternoon and a great reminder of why I enjoy being a real estate agent.

Looking for someone to spend a Sunday with? Give me a call.

Great post Jay. I would have to agree with you, real estate isn't just about selling, it's about helping others fulfil their dreams. Great team work too!

Well I can honestly say that it was Monika who established the great repoire with her buyers. She is the best when working with first time home buyers.
