I drove away from a listing this evening with my sign in the car, staging items packed up, and a home that I wasn’t able to successfully sell.
And you know what? I’m at peace with that.
The Seller and I decided that, given the current market and the circumstances surrounding the home, stepping back for now was the right decision.
Of course, as a Realtor, I want to put a SOLD sign on every home I list. I want to deliver the outcome my clients hired me for. But sometimes serving your client well also means knowing when it’s time to stop, regroup, and trust the timing.
One of the greatest comforts throughout this process was working with another believer. Being able to have conversations where our faith aligned, where we could acknowledge that we had done what we could and ultimately say, “When God says it’s time, we’ll reevaluate,” brought a different kind of peace to what could have felt like a disappointment.
Not every listing ends with a closing table.
Sometimes it ends with pulling the sign out of the yard, packing up the staging, giving your client a hug, and trusting that a “not right now” isn’t necessarily a “no.”
There will be another season for this home. And when it’s time, we’ll be ready. 🤍
