An Insight on What Matters!

 

Last week I made a poll on social media asking people about a specific topic. I asked, “If your

mother would be selling her home, what would be important for her?”. Interestingly, it went in a

different direction than I had hoped. I initially intended to understand what would be important

for them in their new home-- would they want to live simpler, have a house with a yard for their

grandkids, or would they also want condo-living, or live an upscale life than before. Instead, a

new perspective has come into the light and reminded me of what we, Real estate agents,

should never forget!

It was heartwarming to see all these answers saying that their mothers would want the new

owners to make good memories in their old house just like they did some answered that they

would like the new owners to take care of their old house, and some even have unique requests

of how they wanted to preserve the sentimental value of their previous house.

Hearing their answers reminded me of why I even started my career in Real Estate! This is

exactly how our Job becomes more meaningful and special, because although we cannot

always satisfy all of their demands, being able to give them a new house that they can call their

home and being with them throughout that process is life-changing!

We should remember that we are working with people here. People care a lot about their home

and even consider their sentimental value whether it was their first home ever purchased or

whether it was passed down to them through different generations.

Every house has a story to tell, and every owner has fond memories of the home they are going

to sell. As their partner, it is such a privilege to be able to accompany them through this

emotional process.

As a result, we should always take into account how they would feel and what they would like to

experience, and then ask ourselves how we can do that for them as much as possible, making

sure that they find their ideal home.
