Folio for Gmail – Yea!!!

So God Made a REALTOR®
Every once in a while, something happens during a real estate transaction that makes all of us in the industry ask ourselves why we do what we do.
It’s hard. Sometimes overwhelmingly frustrating. Much of our work is performed behind the scenes where nobody else knows all the time and effort that goes into the business except for us. We patch transactions together. Soothe the egos of those around us. And most of the time with very little recognition.
But every once in a while, a buyer or seller looks us in the eye and says, “Thanks. I could never have done this without you.”
Sometimes these brief moments of interaction with our clients are accompanied by tears of joy or a giant hug. And that’s when you know it is all worth it and you wouldn’t want to do anything else.
All the best!
