A problem I have noticed in many circles of life, is trust – and a lack thereof. The speed of life is so fast these days, that TRUST becomes a key element to getting things done. THAT my friends, is what a Realtor does – they GET THINGS DONE, atleast that is what this one does.
Example: I have three midterms this week and a project to be finalized by Saturday. I have a slew of meetings to attend, clients to keep tabs on and help progress through their own endeavours, not to mention my development projects that are a constant cry for attention. To make things worse, one of the most incredible women I have ever known, a true inspiration on how to love, live and laugh, my grandmother Maxine Evans, passed away yesterday.
I am left working all hours of the night and morning and somehow enjoying it tremendously. I am spending all of my time doing what I love, and REALLY HELPING people move forward with their lives. Not even two hours ago I received a call from a client telling me that a cheque had bounced and their deal was in jeopardy. What did I do? I got in my car, drove across the city to get a bank draft drawn up a Bank, then personally delivered it to the other brokerage and shook their hand saying “Now it is resolved! Congratulations!” On my way out of the parking lot, I get a call from the client who is now in shock because they have concerns about the status certificate of their purchase. What do I do? I drive over to THEIR place of work, park outside, run up to the building and look at it with them, address their concerns, explain the situation, and boom – GREEN LIGHT.
When you are stuck at work, fumbling through legal documentations, under pressure from your boss, your family and the others in the deal, trying to organize and coordinate your lenders and the required paperwork, schedule inspections to a time that works for you and fits your busy life, MAYBE THEN you will realize that you NEED someone on YOUR SIDE that will work FOR YOU and that you can TRUST.
I am one of those people. I am a REALTOR.
