Shuttle

We took this picture last night during an open house at the historical home we have listed on the Indian River in Titusville. It is amazing that during the early 1900’s people used to gather in the back yard to watch riverboats now they gather to watch the shuttle.

Recently my wife asked all the agents in our office to respond on what they liked about Real Estate, almost unanimously all our agents said it was meeting people. One agent likes the paperwork, strange but we couldn’t get along without her.

We had one of our most emotional closings this week that I have ever been part of to date. It was a short sale that took long hours and a lot of paper work faxed and emailed back and forth to the lender and the PMI Company. There was not a lot of money to the Real estate companies involved in this transaction but it definitely was rewarding.

The sellers are two very nice ladies who just didn’t want to live with a foreclosure. During these times there are a lot of people who have never had to deal with the stigma of foreclosures and bankruptcies’, there are people who just can’t live with this and short sales are an alternative to worse hits on your credit reports. It takes a lot of patience and a lot of work but it can be accomplished.

To be successful you have to love what you do.
