I had no idea this sweet girl would remember me years later and I consider it a privilege that I was able to be there for her and comfort her during an anxiety attack when she was so far away from home! When you do good things it comes back to you in the most surprising ways! Now my buyers have a beautiful home they are enjoying! Win - win! 💚 🥳

You won’t believe what happened to me and a client while out looking at a house. 😬😳😱 So scary, right?! It was insane and freaked us out! When I called the listing agent his response was, “Oh, I thought the sellers were going to take it out.” I have no words! There’s always an adventure in real estate but thank goodness we were both safe! 😰
