The best commission ever!!!!!

Recently I listed a home on short sale status. The sellers had found themselves suddenly unemployed and the monthly payments were too much for them. I listed their home in July and got the bank to stop a forecclosure sale in September. By the end of September I got a contract that was accepted by the bank in two weeks!!!!! Surprise!!!!!! The closing was scheduled for November 2nd and I kept thinking: " I can not believe this is going so smooth".

That morning of November 2nd I was working in my home office when I got a call from the Lender. With some lame excuse they informed me that they were not going to approve the loan. Wow!!!!

I just knew it. This was going too easy for a short sale.

That evening when I met with the Sellers they indicated that their job situtation had changed and they would love to get their home back.

So I took a chance and called the person that had been helping me with the short sale. I got the sellers an agreement for a loan modification and this weekend they were able to move back into their home!!!!!

The Lender's agent and the sellers both kept saying: We feel so bad you did not get any commission out of this when you worked so hard.

I can tell you this: The look on those home owners faces and their children faces was the best commission I got this year.

As Thanksgiving Day approaches I want to thank every one of my clients and emphasize to you: this is a business of RELATIONSHIPS.

Hope that all the AR fellow members have a great Holiday as well as all the buyers and sellers out there. Hope all your dreams come true!!!!!!!
