Christmas Blessings - Happy Family Sad - New Year Fire - Listing Burns

You'll find me not fully recovered from Christmas and expecting two more gatherings before New Years, but I wanted to pause and share a story obout a project buyer, give special thanks to an affiliate and publish my new listing in Chehalis Washington.

I'll start with the buyers who I got as to a referral from another Keller Williams agent from out of area. The buyer, who I have worked with for the past two months turned into my Christmas gift to self this year. You know the one where a 25% referral will go to another agent, they are approved but at a level that won't purchase a home in the area, nothing on the market is large enough to fit their needs, takes all your time, is sub-prime with lenders but family just captures your heart and head.

My base of operation is out of Olympia Washington. I work from home as the Keller Williams Realty office closest to me is in Tacoma. These buyers were in my old favorite stomping grounds in Centralia which is 45 minutes South of my home. I still love working in Centralia, Chehalis area through Lewis County. The drive is very soulful.

I was blessed in meeting these folks who have not much but a love of family and others which is so freely shared that it is palpable. Meeting them triggered an inspirational push of self to a new level of service as I committed to learning how and connecting with any realtor, investor, contractor, and cancelled or expired listing owner I could contact looking for that one deal that would create a win/win. After meeting many great people and hearing a fair share of no's one came back after a "no way" and said "yes I'll drop my price $30k". What a great joy to share with my buyers who had recently outgrown their rental home due to taking in a parent with special need. We get gramma out of the master bedroom and daddy off the couch.
