My goal for 2012 was to sell 35 units.. either as the listing agent or the buyers' agent -- or any combination there of...
BY GEORGE I ALMOST HAD IT!
I closed on 34 in 2012.
So..
It doesn't matter that I wrote more offers than that or came within A STONES THROW of closing on more than that..
DANG.IT!
It was a dog fight to get some of these closed. I even lost a little sleep over some that never came to fruition.
I showed houses to people that weren't approved for loans.
I traveled God's half acre so we could cross things off our list as soon as we pulled in the driveway.
(I gave Starbucks ALOT of $$.)
(I didn't keep good track of my mileage...)
BUT! (I say this with the corners of my mouth curled up like the Grinch... -- Yep! It's gonna take me WEEKS to detox from Christmas break...)
There were some really good stories from last year!!
Right off the bat a (very) sweet father sold the old homestead and moved closer to his grown daughter. A few single moms moved out of cramped apartments and into solid houses. Young couples and new families established their first homes. A pastor was able to move closer to his church. People took better jobs and were able to sell houses and move on. Estate homes were sold. Rental properties were sold. A couple moved back to Terre Haute after years of being away.. and on and on..
I made several friends.
Happy things happened.. I'd like to give a hug FULL of Christmas Cheer and Goodwill to those 34 families that are safely snuggled into new homes tonight!
And NO worries about me... I've already started on 2013..

(If you write an offer on Christmas Eve you MUST sign your purchase agreement with a candy cane pen!!)
