Today’s experience is why I’m a Realtor. I got to deliver the earth-shakingly good news to a newly married couple about to leave on their honeymoon that, after a summer spent looking at dozens of houses, having been beat out by other buyers on two homes they’d made offers on, having yesterday gone up against 3 other offers on their dream home, and still in time to take advantage of the $8000 Tax Credit…..

 …Yes, today I got to deliver the news to my clients that they GOT THE HOUSE!!!

In Rio de Janeiro, earlier today, there were allegedly 50,000 people gathered to hear the news that their city — the first location in any country on the S. American continent — would indeed be hosting the 2016 Olympic Games. I swore I could feel the earth shake up here in Bellingham when those 50,000 Brazilians erupted in cheers at the news!

And yet their energy was second to the STOKE I felt from my clients when I delivered the news that they GOT THE HOUSE!!! It was a goose-bump moment through and through.

Yessir… today’s experience is why I’m a Realtor. It’s all about the moments of STOKE!
