The Three Million Dollar Floor Call

This is a holiday story; complete with good cheer.
It goes something like this..........

Several months ago, a hard working Realtor was in our office taking "floor time." A call came in on one of our current listings. Unfortunately, the eager agent was unable to match this buyer to that property. He wanted a "dead-on Golden Gate view." This property, though a very fine home, didin't have what the buyer was looking for.

Our undaunted agent offered to show the buyer other homes, more in conformance with his desires. He agreed and the showings began. They looked everywhere. But one house was too dark and another too shabby. They looked and they looked. Our intrepid agent would not disappoint our particular buyer.

And then one day a property came on the market. Was it perfect? What property is? Nonetheless, our perservering agent and her particular buyer went off to see it. While the price was "too high" said our buyer; the offer was "too low" said the seller. Storm clouds rose as the year was coming to an end.

With the motivation of a real seller and the desire of a real buyer, our agent would not give up. Closer and closer they came, until one day an agreement was reached; an agreement on a sale of close to three million dollars.

"Hooray!" shouted the buyer. I have the home I imagined. "Fantastic!" said the seller. Needless to say, selling a home like this in the worst market in over 70 years, during the holiday season, was nothing short of a miracle. And what made the miracle even sweeter, was that the home was purchased for cash and closed within a week.

Merry Christmas intrepid agent! You know the difference between hard work and wishing on a star and for that you will receive your reward.

Happy Holidays to all!
