I rarely share stories about my closings because they are all very special to me! As I reflect on 2023, there is one closing that holds an extra special place for me this year! It reaffirmed that actions have value and meaning—and doing the right thing can lead to future clients and referrals when I least expect it.
Nine years ago, I spent time showing homes to a mother and daughter who were part-time residents from Canada desiring to purchase a second home here. While temporarily leasing a property in a local community during their stay, they spotted a flyer on the clubhouse bulletin board advertising a home they believed matched exactly what they wanted. They decided to call the seller directly, to deal directly with them, and ultimately purchased the property without my assistance. Now, I could have become angry, but I didn’t. Instead, when they reached out to thank me for my help, I responded graciously and left the door for any assistance they might need in the future.
Fast forward to the present; the daughter tracked me down out of the blue to ask if I would meet her brother and sister-in-law to offer them guidance on listing the home they had purchased here. But here’s the catch: I’m not even with the same brokerage I was with back then. To find out where I’m working now, she had to search for me. So she Googled me and then emailed to ask, “Are you the Cheryl that I engaged with back in 2014?” I actually had to stop and think about it for a few minutes because I’ve dealt with many people since then. I recalled our prior meeting and was elated that she reached out. Her brother and sister-in-law, co-owners on the home, were coming to town and she wanted to arrange a time for me to talk with them. After meeting and speaking with them, they decided to engage my services.
Their property went on the market on a Friday, and, after receiving and reviewing multiple offers over list price, we were under contract the following Monday.
What’s so special is that they elected to seek me out. There are many local REALTORS® they could have chosen to engage with, considering I haven’t been in contact with them on a regular basis. They received marketing materials from many other agents through the years, and they know people in the neighborhood from whom they could have requested a recommendation. Despite this, they remembered that I had acted professionally, provided them with valuable information on the area and gave them insight on what to look for in purchasing a home in Florida; they wanted to ensure I had the opportunity to try to assist them further! It was truly an unexpected blessing! Good things take time!!
Homes for Heroes saves firefighters, EMS, law enforcement, military, healthcare pros & teachers money when they buy, sell or refinance a house or mortgage. Cheryl is a proud supporters of this initiative.
