Small Victories Make Me Love My Job

My rental client's application was accepted this week for a condo in Crofton, MD. 'Doesn't sound like a big deal in this world of high-stakes real estate buying and selling, but it was very important to him.

It meant the difference between having a roof over his head or not - or, at the very least, between keeping his son in the same school or having to move to another neighborhood when his current landlord decided to sell.

Telling this client the bad news when his first rental application was rejected was tough... and the second... but the third time was charmed, and I couldn't have been happier if it was a multi-million dollar sale.

This rental wasn't a huge victory, like the one Katerina and Nestor Gasset told us about earlier in the week (Short Sale Strategies- When The Lender Blames The Investor- Case In Point), and the commission for any rental is minimal. But this transaction does remind me why I love my job:

It's the people we serve, and helping them achieve THEIR goals, big or small.
