The Holidays And Our Business

To my mind, the holidays are a great example of what our business is really about.

Think about it. Families gather to share the holidays, whether it be Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Solstice, Festivus or any other. They eat food, lovingly prepared and redolent of holidays past. They talk and laugh and cry and remember and tell stories and give and receive gifts.

Where do they do all these things? For the vast majority, it is in homes – all gathering at the home of the grandparents, or the first holiday hosted by the now-adult children who not that long ago sat at the “kid’s table”, sometimes the adult children switching back and forth between sets of parents, sometimes, as we did it this year, all celebrating together.

But gather in homes we do. This is, in a sense, the culmination of all of our efforts as real estate agents – families, celebrating together in the homes we helped them find and acquire.
