A week in review

I have not blogged in some time, work has been steady and satisfying. A listing I had finally closed this past Friday, it had been on the market for over a year. I was put on the market as a conventional sale and as time went on and information came apparent, it became a short-sale, we had a very interested buyer who choice to stick it out for the long run and eventually this buyer got the property, he had a persistent and smart agent and my sellers had a strong negotiator who made the deal happen. A long and happy ending. I am also in the process of closing a deal with client who I have really enjoyed working with, they are selling these house and buying another, they were a referral from a gentlemen who bought my very first home, I don't know him all that well but he was kind enough to send these clients my way. I only mention this because these days of stressful deals, it is such a pleasure to work with nice, gracious and appreciative people, these guys are. These are stressful times in the real estate industry, we're all feeling beaten up but occasionally we have the opportunity to work with people who understand the pressure we're all under to perform and make good. I try to hold myself to a higher standard and go the extra mile, I always will. Happy Memorial Day to all.
