How a car crash sold a condo!!!

Sometimes clients come to you from the strangest places. The moral of this story below is this:

• Always watch for opportunities in every place you go!
• All challenges are opportunities in disguise!

Our Real Estate office was having a food drive at a local supermarket. I was out front collecting food when I just happened to look up to witness two vehilces coliding in the supermarket parking lot. I walked over to the "crash site" to see if I can help. I approach the driver who was run into. She is shaken up and very upset. The person who crashed into her is yelling and blaming her for the accident. I call 911 and stay with the drivers. After a while, insurance info is exchanged and the police arrive. I give the driver my business card and ask for her info in exchange.

I stayed in touch with her for 6 months before she called me out of the blue one day. She wanted my help in buying a condo! Of course I have worked to foster that relationship during those 6 months. Pop by's, cards, and phones calls monthly. It paid off! I was able to help her find the perfect condo and we proceeded to close, as they say!

It just goes to show you that any moment could be the opportunity to increase your business. Put others first, "giver's gain" and all!
