FEELING THANKFUL

November is one of my favorite months of the year. Not only is my anniversary in November, but also my birthday! And, Thanksgiving is in my month as well. I am never ready to lose our Daylight Saving time, however - also a November thing. Despite the dreaded darkness at 4:00 pm, I still love November. 

The Thanksgiving holiday gives me an extra excuse to think about all of the good things in my life – and there are so many! I am especially grateful for so many things in my real estate business – but top of the list are the people I have met. I continue to meet all sorts of interesting people! There are fellow agents who have turned into friends and mentors. There are other professionals, like lenders and title agents who have also become friends and have taught me a lot of things too. And, co-brokes – the agents on the other side of the table, some good, some not so good – but they all teach me things.

And, then there are my people, my clients – the people who trust me with their business – the people who join forces with me to buy or to sell. And, I have had the most amazing clients over the years – fantastic people, amazing people, savvy, resourceful, hard-working people. People with plenty of money, people with limited funds, people who worry, people who don’t. Risk takers and the risk-averse. Mostly young, occasionally not quite so young. But I do find common themes. I find my clients to be persevering. No matter how tricky the market is, they keep trying. They might take a break, but every time my clients come back to the party, and find a way to buy or sell. My people are plucky!  And they are kind. I’m always touched by how thoughtful my clients are to me. They are respectful and courteous and so generous. These people are the best part of my business, and I am so, so very grateful for them!
