Congratulations to our Buyers, Don & Jarred!!
No matter what you think of Tony Robbins, I think we can all agree that he’s got some really great quotes and this is the one that made me think of my clients Don & Jerrad, “Stop worrying about what can go wrong and start getting excited about what can go right.”
Now, that is sound advice for anyone these days! But it made me think of Don and Jerrad because they stuck with it through an especially tricky transaction and they kept their eyes on the prize the whole way. And in the end, their stick-with-it attitude truly paid off because they are now the proud owners of a very cute, brand new townhouse! It’s a great 3 bedroom 2.5 bathroom with tons of natural light and a lovely open floor plan on the main level. I’m so happy for them!
Lately, in this crazy market, being a Real Estate Agent has felt even more gratifying and impactful! Things are crazy out there and folks need clear guidance as the market shifts. I know I’m making a difference in people’s lives by helping them become homeowners. I am very invested in all of my clients and nothing makes me happier and feel more fulfilled than giving clients like Don and Jerrad the keys to their new home!
