Cameron Wilson: Murrieta/Temecula/ Menifee California Real Estate

Recently I had the fortunate opportunity to help the most inspiring couple I have ever worked with in my 20 years in the Real Estate industry purchase a home. Bill and Kristi, last name withheld upon request, are two people who live life to its fullest everyday and when problems arise and they are dealt lemons they make lemonade and keep on living life. Something you should know about Bill & Kristi is the fact they are blind.

At 8:05 on a Saturday morning my phone rang at the office and the caller wanted some Real Estate questions answered so I did my best to answer them and then Kristi told me she & her husband Bill had made a deposit on a yet to be built 2 story townhouse and the builder had told her it was the best price in our area and everything would be fine. I confirmed that this builder had good prices and delivered a nice product and that's when Kristi told me she and Bill are blind but they were told their were no homes cheaper than these townhouses and was that the truth because that was more than they wanted to spend and it was a 2 story home that posed danger to them. I made a appointment to meet them at their apartment so they could show me their likes and dis-likes about their current home and after talking with them for 3 hours I left on a mission to find them a home that met their unique needs praying the whole time as these folks were placing more trust in me than anyone had ever done in the past.

Bill & Kristi have been in their single story home within a 55+ senior community for six months now and they could not be happier since it is not only safer for them they paid $78,000 dollars less than the townhouse and they have made many new friends myself included. This lovely blind couple taught me to see with my eyes closed and I will be eternally grateful to them for that and showing homes to them was unique butthat will be saved for another day as that is not the point of this blog.

We all place trust in others in our lives and others place their trust in us at times not only in the Real Estate industry but with Doctors, Lawyers, Friends, Family and the list goes on and on but the question I pose to all of us is do we take that trust seriously and treat it with honor and respect or do we take it for granted because thats what we do?

TRUST: May we not take it for granted.

Your opinions are valued not only to myself but to others as well. Life is too short to not have an opinion and voice it.

After a long day that began at 5:30am I finally arrived at home tired but happy that we closed a purchase on a foreclosed property in Murrieta Ca. for my buyer client who had the misfortune of being in a rental property in Menifee Ca. that went into foreclosure and as in most instances went back to the bank.

Needless to say this was a shock to my clients when they found out they were going to need to move and it was understandable to me when we met that they were anxious and scared so we began the process to find them a house to buy and make it their home. Now, I work the listing side of real estate owned (REO) properties representing the sellers (banks) and the buyers side in some circumstances and in this case I represented the buyers as we found a house that a friend of mine had just put on the market and guess what, it was an REO.

Being involved in many REO transactions this was nothing new to me but little did I know what lay in store for us as we proceeded off to escrow with this transaction. To make a long story short this thing went sideways and to the listing agents credit because of their experience and to my experience and my clients trust and patience plus 72 hours of hands on work we got this transaction closed and my clients will be moving into their new home this weekend.

Due to the nature of the real estate business sometimes the public does not fully understand what really is involved behind the scene in a real estate transaction but as a Professional I consider that simply as " thats what I do" and do my best to make the dreams and goals of my clients become reality. This was the case here but I have to admit it stretched me further than ever before and I could only imagine the stress on my clients but through it all they hung in there to the end.

Back to arriving at home I just received a phone call from my clients, that brought about this article, thanking me for my work and I had to thank them for their effort as well and the greatest compliment I have ever received was this, We will sleep well tonight.

May their sleep be sound and their dreams sweet.

What is the best compliment you have received?

Sometimes in the course of my busy schedule, and I'm sure yours as well, I have one of those days where Mr Murphy's law shows up and things not only go wrong they go sideways. Today was one of those days and I will not go into detail but I had big problems with an escrow and my clients are great people and working together the issues were resolved but my brain was fried by the time I arrived at home.

Upon arriving at home I was greeted by my wife who does have a job and our two dogs who really are a little bit spoiled and I guess their job is to sleep but they do make us laugh. After grabbing a favorite beverage and going out onto our patio to relax and unwind the dogs kept running up to me wagging their tails as fast as they possibly could until I broke into laughter as it seemed to me they were saying thank you to me for whatever reason and they were showing it by wagging their tails. This caused me to think how many times do I neglect to say thank you to those who are there for me and have helped me in so many ways.So from this day forward I will try to say thank you more often and I guess it's my way of wagging my tail.

Since I am new to bogging to Nestor & Katerina Gasset here is a big thank you for all the tips and information you both freely share with all who ask and your encouragement is well appreciated.

To Brad Andersohn please allow me to say thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to answer my questions and to push the limits of this techno impaired person.

We all need to take the time in this thing we call life to say thanks to those who make our lives better and expect nothing in return so to the great folks mentioned I wag my tail and say THANK YOU!!!!
