BRICK BY BRICK THIS PROJECT WAS WORTH IT!!!

WHY THIS TESTAMENT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME

One of the most gratifying aspects of being a real estate agent is the opportunity to play a pivotal role in people’s lives. This background story means a lot to me because I began to work with my clients during Covid. The hurdles we crossed were monumental because of restrictions due to the pandemic and buyers were commuting, meeting with me and the builder in person and long distance. In this line of work, we aren’t just facilitating property transactions; we are helping individuals and families make life-altering decisions. No matter why people move, transitioning due to a major life event, I have always been ready to guide them through their transformative moments.

 

ALWAYS & FOREVER I REMAIN THANKFUL 

The highest compliment a Buyer can give their real estate agent is an online review. It is a testament to trust earned and a job well done. Starting a relationship with a buyer new to Texas is no small task. It begins with trust. That trust is built through consistent communication, truly listening to their needs, understanding why they’re moving, when they need to move, where they need to be, and what can they afford.

 

As a trusted agent, I helped clients make life-changing decisions. No matter how many hurdles arise, how much pressure the buyer is under when transitioning in a relocation, I stayed focused, resilient, and committed. I’ve been told I’m personable, approachable, and fun to work with, without ever losing professionalism. No fooling around! Your client must trust you!

 


Seeing my review online was the best compliment and reward. I was honored to be on my buyer’s journey.

Patricia was exactly what we needed in a realtor for our long distance move to Fort Worth. She was very prepared for our initial house hunting visit and helped us find the perfect home to start a family in. For a young couple unfamiliar with the area, she guided us through the process with her extensive knowledge of the local housing market. After exhausting our options in the pre-existing market, we decided to purchase a new build. Throughout the process of building the house, Patricia sent us frequent updates with pictures of the progress of our home when we couldn’t check on it ourselves. When we interacted with the builder, she brought up many important concerns she had that kept us assured that we were not leaving any stone unturned. Patricia was very personable and had our best interests in mind throughout the entire process. While working with her, we felt that we were always her top priority.

Expert guidance. Exceptional results.

What a heartfelt glimpse into the grit, grace, and trust it takes to guide someone through such a life-shaping journey, Patricia Feager. Your story shines with sincerity and reminds us that real estate is about people first, homes second. Thanks so much for sharing this meaningful piece 💛.

Lew Corcoran - Being on a client's journey is something I never took for granted. You're right, it does take "grit and grace," to compliment and build trust. Real estate has always been about the people, not the money. What was always at the forefront of my mind was paying attention to details, preparing them for what's next, answering questions, staying  focused on what I heard and to make sure I was hearing right. Communication and adjusting to changing minds keep a good agent on their toes.

Hello Patricia - journeys, especially those ventured by home buyers, are similar in many ways but unique enough to make them memorable because of unforeseen obstacles. The testimonial you share is a nice addition to this particular path.

Michael Jacobs - To be honest, asking clients for a testimonial is something I was never comfortable with to ask. This young man was from a different generation, and he asked me if it was okay to leave a review online. I didn't know what to expect! Once it was out there for everyone to read, it really touched my heart! Some people write better using pen and paper - others use current technology and surprised me!

Good morning, Patricia... everything we do as real estate agents requires trust between us and our clients. Without trust we have nothing. And I will also say the trust has to work both ways. So often we focus on our clients trusting us... but we need to be able o trust them, as well. And I deliver this message to all new clients... that the foundation of our relationship is trust and that the trust flows both ways.

Nina Hollander, Broker - when it comes to trust between people, there can be no damns to stop the flow. We are all creatures of habit and what we do impacts others. Life presents many life-altering events. From each experience we grow. Giving thanks to those who were part of the trust package creates good Karma.

Hi Patricia,
What a lovely testimonial. This story is proof that when we lead with heart, every brick becomes part of a lasting legacy. It reminded me of a new-build transaction I had with some out-of-town buyers. I sent them daily progress reports and pictures, which they loved.

Carol Williams - That testimonial touched my soul. As you know, the world was in chaos, all over the globe! There were many worries and doubt about Covid when I worked with my clients. I listened intently to what stories they shared about their previous agents from the state they came from. I did not want to make the same mistakes. When trust becomes the bridge that clients can safely walk across with you on their journey, you have friends for life.

Lynn B. Friedman CRS Atlanta, GA 404-617-6375 - We stayed in close contact. He was on the fast track for success. It didn't take long before he was relocated again. I was there for them when their first baby was born. The baby's first birthday, and then I listed it for his transfer. It sold very quickly. They were the greatest clients/friends I had!
