Philadelphia Real Estate Market: Moments That Transcend Money !
Last night, I went on a listing appointment in Fishtown. We have been in contact with a potential 
seller for the last year and a half or so. So she asked if one of us could come over as she was thinking about listing her house.
The owner purchased the property in 2005 and did a small REFI a year later so her equity situation was not great. Still, there has been a lot of development and new construction in the area so she wanted to know more specifics about the value. We had a great meeting and a great discussion regarding her house, her family and her life.
After going over all the options, it was determined that it just made the most sense for her to stay where she is. Towards the end of the conversation, I mentioned "With us, we will tell you the truth. Honesty is the best policy. Some Philadelphia Realtors may tell you a higher number in this Real Estate market just to get a sign on the door to see what happens and roll the dice. Ultimately, practices like that over-promise and under-deliver."
She commented "That is why I called you."
That warmed my heart and made me smile.
It makes it all worthwhile !
It is not always about the paycheck or closing a deal. Moments like this confirm that I am in the right place. There are additional layers of depth that help us be a better person and Realtor. And ultimately help the clients we serve...
