I once worked with a super neat family. They gave me all their criteria, just had a great meeting with them. They wanted to buy property in Wasatch County and we started looking there and for the budget and what they wanted, you know we just weren’t finding anything and we ended up going a little bit further south in Utah County. Then a little bit further south, and then finally down to Fairview. We found a home and it was just ideal and we got in the home the day it was listed and they ended up just finding a great home. They’ve said a couple times that I did everything right and that everything went perfect.
It really helps when you have somebody that’s as concerned about the process as you are. And that’s what I strive to have is that empathy and that concern that my client has in selling their property or in buying a property.
I’m very thorough some people say to an extreme, to make sure the I’s are dotted and the T’s are crossed. I really strive to communicate. I do what my clients need me to do. I want them to have a successful transaction and so I do feel like I work some overtime. I’ve made offers at ten, eleven o’clock at night, because as the client just stews and stews, okay what are we going to do? How are we going to respond? Finally at ten o’clock they’re saying will you help us do this? We want to get an offer sent in or we want to do something.
My optimism helps me to look at things a little bit different. I just always feel like there’s a way to get a property sold or to find a property to purchase. There’s a way to find it whether I’m knocking on doors asking people if they’re interested in selling. There’s typically a way to find something for my client either to purchase or to sell a property and so I think my optimism helps me to maybe look outside the box and find a way.
It’s interesting because I love helping people and lots of times they never do become a client of mine. I’m comfortable helping people and it all comes back in the end. I mean what is it the golden rule of life you know, do to others what you would want them to do to you.
So I love being able to be a resource to people, and help them and give them information whether it’s about selling a property, or buying a property, getting water rights, getting an easement.
Real Estate really provides an avenue for me to serve a lot of people I think.
