A Realtors job is never done!
A few months ago a client introduced me to a friend that was planning to find a second home in the Collingwood area. The friend and his wife are both professionals from Toronto with a young daughter.
It was my pleasure to work collabratively with them to find the right place; we did our home work, viewed properties, compared attributes versus cost
and soon they decided to make an offer on the property that best suited them. After some back and forth negotiation all parties agreed to terms and we had an agreement.
The deal closed on time with no glitches and my new clients began to enjoy their weekend home.
Fast forward a month; I get a phone call on a Sunday morning from my new client; he was equal parts concerned and embarrassed. They were up for the weekend and had locked them selves out of their new weekend home. They fully expected a long cold wait, followed by an expensive house call from a lock smith to get them back inside. But first the question for me "can I help them?" Well luckily I was available and the listing realtor's lock box with the key inside was still at the home. So a few minutes later I was retrieving the keys and opening the door for my appreciative and embarrassed clients. No need to be embarrassed, it was my pleasure.
Although I pride myself in services that involve expert real estate advise, knowledge of construction, superior negotiation skills, current market knowledge and always working in the best interests of my clients, in this instance I enjoyed adding to the list of service.... emergency house openings!
A good Realtor is your advisor for the long term. Like your lawyer, hair dresser, dentist, mechanic and other expert service providers, my role is to be your personal Real Estate Wiz to call on when you need me.
