It's Not Christmas .... But I Felt Like Giving

Today I received a strange call from a very nice gentleman at Adult Well-Being Service, he asked if I had any rentals available in Roseville or Warren. He proceeded to tell me that he needed to place a man and his young daughter in a home very quickly because they were living in shelters and hotels. They needed to get this little girl in school, since it was count day. Normally since these cities are a distance from our home and office, we do not usually work rentals there and usually tell callers we can not help them. But in this case I felt compelled to try and help. The man gave more details which I will not go into now.

I immediately dropped the 7 things I was doing, went into the MLS and searched for homes and condos in his price range. Then called him back a few minutes later and told him what was available. He asked if I could e-mail him the information. Shortly after he called back asking about two of the homes. The 1st agent told me his seller was really looking for a land contract, so I contacted the other agent. Then proceeded to tell her the situation and told her I would back out so things could move faster. However, my portion of the commission was to go back to the organization.

Actually the commission would only amount to maybe $300 but hey I figured every little bit helps. This would help the seller get rid of a vacant home, get the other agent a little money, give the agency some help and the most important help this man and his young daughter find a Home.

Remember Pay It Forward - not only during the holidays but ALL Year.
