Friend That's An Agent Or Agent That's A Friend

What a lovely way to start the first Sunday of the new year. This email arrived from Bob and Keith this morning. 

 

''Hi, Margaret:

Now that the dust--and funds--have cleared, I wanted to take a moment to send you a big Thank You for our latest transaction. It's a shame you had to sell my house three times in ten months, but I like to make sure you really earn your commission! :)  Plus, it gave me an opportunity to chat with you on your radio show, which was more fun than anyone has a right to have.

So this brings the tally up to 2 sold, 3 purchased, and you know I'm not going to guarantee that this was the last one.  I think the next one should have two garage spaces...

Again, I thank you for all your hard work and your friendship.  I was trying to decide whether I have a Real Estate Agent who's a friend or a friend who's a Real Estate Agent.  Then I realized that it doesn't matter which side of the equation it's on, "friend" is the operative word.

Here's to a safe, happy, and healthy 2021!

Bob and Keith''

I am so lucky to have good friends as clients, or is that good clients as friends...

What a great compliment!  If we can't get along it's probably not going well but not every sale is easy.  10 years ago there were plenty of sellers writing checks at closing.  They were less excited about real estate than people are now.  I'd like to keep in touch with these folks if I had that feedback.

Good morning Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400 . This letter was so well put and it shows what type of person and Agent you are.  Caring about our  Clients needs above our own is what we are suppose to do.  If we do it well, then we can receive the highest honor of being considered a friend.  It is nice to know someone appreciates what we do, and the note you received is the highest honor we can achieve in this business.  All agents are definitely not created equal and you are one of the best! A great way to start off the new year!

Sometimes those relationships happen and that all that has to be worked out and can be worked out, in my experience.
