Have you ever wondered what it is like to be involved with folks that are at their greatest stress levels? Every real estate agent can go into great detail about helping people through tough times. Packing, making tough decisions, maybe adding others issues to the mix, i.e., down sizing, illness, death or divorce–we have seen it all. Yes, it is fun to see a family find the perfect home and see kids choose their own bedroom, but most of the time the stress comes through.

Recently I watched a family follow their dreams to a new job and community. Not only is our market challenging for sellers–buyers can struggle with the lending process. Low appraisals, excess work requirements, paperwork demands and delays, and the final hourly countdown until the keys are handed over–it all adds up to stress. To my seller friends the trauma was endless. Let me give one piece of advice: communicate! We are here to reach out to every available resource and get the job done. Be nice, for goodness sake!
