This Business of Real Estate is Definitely Not for Sissies!

Looking back on the past 30 days or so, I think we have had quite a ride! In spite of many obstacles, my team has remained positive. With two of our listings having copper stolen from them, we had to deal with paperwork with the police, insurance claims etc. We have had bad home inspection reports to muddle through, short sales, buyers who didn't get their loans in spite of preapprovals, appraisal cuts, relocation paperwork, etc. It isn't what it used to be by any stretch of the imagination. This is the new normal.

But, we have also had some inspiring things happen along the way. One of our clients was severly injured in an accident and was in Dodd's hall. Our title company went to her for the closing and her friends banded together to get her out of her home in time for possession. She remained positive and was a true inspiration. She has been on my mind and when I think of how she handled this adversity, I feel more calm and blessed.

Every day, something new happens which makes our job a little exciting, a little stressful and a little bit more challenging. But, at the end of the day, we all feel like we did our best and helped people through their challenges.

So, whatever life throws at us, we will do our best to help in any way that we can. Keeping a positive outlook is what we have decided we need to do!

Take care, Susan
