It seems I am continually underwhelmed by any and all service industries, so when someone actually does their job well or does something extra, it’s a really nice surprise.
My real estate agent has been completely on top of everything with getting everything done for today’s closing. Everything on our end is totally locked down and under control, and I’ve only had to do a very few things. Very nice. When I bought the place, I recall the seller’s agents were completely out to lunch most of the time.
Talked w/my grandmother’s broker this morning (first words out of his mouth were “nothing is wrong, everything is OK!”) and my grandmother is making a couple changes to an account and he needed some info from me on that, and when she needs to sign the papers, he’s going to go to her house for it. I know that will make my grandmother feel better cause she’ll know that she’s signed on all the right lines. It will also apparently keep her taxes simpler, and her broker knows how spooled up she gets at tax time and that was the big reason for the change. Good to know he’s looking out for her. (We’ve known him for years, this move doesn’t really surprise me, but it’s still very nice.)
Shame everyone can’t work that way.
