The Best Part of Being a Realtor®

The Best Part of Being a Realtor®
By Jason Paul

Throughout this past week I had the pleasure of talking to so many different people while working around town and this Sunday, as the weekend was wrapping up, was no exception. I decided to try something a little unusual and held an open house at a rare ranch style condominium at Timbers Edge in Hampton Cove. This community is nestled at the base of the Monte Sano Mountain with picturesque views at every turn. As I pulled into the community and over the small bridge there was a brief second where I felt like I was at Disney World. I was greeted by numerous smiling faces in the neighborhood and all the landscape was immaculate. As I pulled into the driveway, I just had a feeling that this open house was going to be awesome. This ranch style condo is move-in ready and is extremely clean. With hardwood floors throughout and multiple skylights, it shows incredibly well and I had not even turned the lights on yet. I immediately had three visitors only minutes after opening the doors to start the open house. Everyone seemed to love the open floor plan, the great use of colors throughout, and the huge amount of natural light that made it truly feel like a home. Many of my guests could not believe the amount of storage that was available in the kitchen pantries or the vast amount of granite countertop space that was available. With approximately 1,940 square feet it had a great house feel and look, but without all of the exterior yard work since it was still a condo. I was able to speak with the various families that came to the open house and really enjoyed watching their faces light up and they toured the residence. All of the visitors were amazed at the various features that the home had to offer and everyone of them stated that this listing was priced extremely well. I realized that hearing everyone’s stories and being there to help them through the biggest and most important transaction of their lives was what being a Realtor® was all about. As a Paramedic for 19 years, I know I made a big difference in many patients lives with my professionalism and sense of humor. As a Realtor®, I know that I will continue being a professional and remain an advocate for my new patients, my clients. Talk to you soon.
