ActiveRain Thankfulness Challenge: Thankful For My Clients

ActiveRain Thankfulness Challenge: Thankful For My Clients

 

ActiveRain Ambassador Jeff Dowler has asked blogger members to participate in the November Thankfulness Challenge. Option one relates to our clients. Since I have been retired for seven years, my comments are about past clients.

I am thankful for the land owner who gave my firm the opportunity to sell a large tract of land. I studied the market, provided a name for a proposed subdivision and we sold the property to a major builder.

I am thankful for the builder who provided my firm the opportunity to sell homes in a large new subdivision. We had so much traffic that we needed  police officers to direct the weekend visitors.

I am grateful for the developer who gave me an opportunity to manage my first new garden apartment communities. That experience lead me to develop additional garden apartment communities. 

I am thankful for the property manager who selected me to acquire additional condominiums for their portfolio. I sold 34 units to the company and they were all cash transactions.

I am thankful for the pharmacist who used my services for several years to help him acquire a substantial rental portfolio.

I could go on an on about the clients who have provided business opportunities during my long career in real estate. I sold hundreds of properties to families and many of them were first time home buyers and my goal was to always treat them as well as I would if they were members of my family.

The Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) has been the official Maryland flower since 1918 when it was designated the "Floral Emblem" of Maryland by the General Assembly (Chapter 458, Acts of 1918; Code General Provisions Article, sec. 7-306).

In his Species Plantarum (1753), the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus (1701-1778) described and named the flower Rudbeckia after Olav Rudbeck and his son, both professors at the University of Uppsala, and hirta from the Latin meaning "rough hairy".
