Yesterday I drove over an hour and a half to a listing appointment. In my head I was grumbling. I know they want to list at a price that there are no comps for and they won’t be painting it, they don’t want me ordering photos with my amazing photographers because they want to pay a tiny commission. Therefore they want to take the photos themselves.
I was fully prepared to pass on this sale. Not for my commission, greed is not an issue of mine, but because I worry that with these parameters I won’t be able to perform at a level I feel good at.
When I walked into the home, I immediately felt different. I was greeted by the kindest, most loving daughter of a father who has recently been moved into a full care facility,
It all made sense.
Everything that this house makes will be used to make him comfortable as he lives in the last home he’ll ever have.
All his things, everything he spent a lifetime acquiring, are being sold in a garage sale, and the home he once owned will now pay for his care.
We will all be him someday. All our things will be sold, and we will fade into memory.
I’m so grateful that I get to help this family. I will shoot for an unrealistic price, I will take a cut rate commission and I’ll be happy to do it.
As I’ve said before
All we are
Is how well we loved ♥️
