What it mean to be a Trusted Real Estate Professional Part 1
This was a successful sale in Castor Gardens 19111
The seller had her home listed over a year ago in Phila Pa the Castor Gardens section and thought her home was sold.The sale never took place.She listed her home with several other brokers since then and could not sell her home.I had been referred to her by her neighbor ;but she still would not let me sell her house.Her neighbor was a past client of mine and he trusted me as a Real Estate Professional to look out for her.I had sold him his first house over 25 years ago and he was one of my very first clients.
I had listed his home and sold it in 8 days.She called me up to tell me someone had stole my sign.When I told her the the house was sold she was shocked. She wanted to wait to sell her house; but was now willing to let me sell it for her.Now I had gained her trust.
We finally listed her house in the spring.The seller is a lovely woman and I became very fond of her. We found buyers and today went to settlement. She was very lucky to get the exact apartment that she was going to rent a year ago when her home sale fell apart. The woman who had rented it was moving. Everything was falling into place.
The buyers were lovely people and very accommodating.The cooperating agent Weng Huang from C21 Target RE Phila Pa.Weng was wonderful to work with.This was a winning team even the mortgage broker Helen Chang was terrific and met all the dates.In Pennsylvania time is of the essence on the contracts.
The seller was very nervous having had one sale fall apart.Everyone involved was very understanding of this situation and considerate.They even let her stay in the home an extra day.The seller left them some furniture and everyone was happy!
This was a day that made me very proud to be a trusted Real Estate Professional and when we knew the money was wired ; I turned a round to the seller and said "your house is sold "I had tears of Joy in my Eyes..
This it what it means to be be a trusted Real Estate Professional.To get the job done.To make people happy and smile.To make a house a home. To feel good inside after the job is done.

What a story with a happy ending. I had a client call me yesterday that I too had sold a condo too 10 years ago.
She opened with, "Do you remember me?"

"Someone stole your sign" !!!!! - hahahahahah !!! How great is that !!
Good for you my friend ! And a great testament to why they will choose you again and again !
Well done :o)
Cheers !
Lou.. I feel trust is very important . I take it very personal when buyers or sellers do not trust me. If I can not cultivate this trust I will not work with them. I will refer them to someone else.
Sheldon.. It was the beginning of a positive working relationship and I believe a lasting friendship between a Trusted Real Estate Professional and a lovely woman who deserved a break. Thank you
