The other side the fence

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Greenville Central

 

Today was a fun different experience for me. I had a walk thru with my clients today. Pretty normal right. Well they bought a home with the builder I use to work for. This was the first time I had been on the other side of the fence with the builder. I worked for them for 4 years and loved working with them. The only left was because I wanted more. We left on great terms and I still talk to pretty much everyone at the company, even my old boss on a regular basis.

So today to be on the other side and the "other realtor" in the transaction was a little different for me. I definitely felt the closure from my leaving. But I also felt an overwhelming since of thankfulness. That thankfulness was from everything that the company taught me. Thankfulness for a company willing to take a chance on a 24 year old ‘girl' and give her a chance only to train her and feed her knowledge and prepare her for the world. So in a since, I feel like a child that had grown up and moved away and it was my first visit home since I left.

You know the feeling. You are happy to be home and you know everything about it and have great memories of it. But it is different and you are different, but the same all together. You also realize at this point in your life that your parents aren't so dumb either.

So I write this to say THANK YOU to my old company for giving me my start and my hunger for Real Estate!

Crystal, nice sentiments and I'm sure you meant your parents were not so dumb either, most only get to see that later in life. That we take so much for granted until we have to make our own choices and make our own way, well good luck out of the nest. Sounds like your heart is in the right place and that will always lead you to the right decisions. Steve

Its a great feeling to revisit a part of your life and finally have closure to REALLY move on. Now you are able to take what you were given and pass it on to those around you. I know they miss you because we are glad to have you!
