What is Your Story?




A relative of mine recently spent some time in a transitional care facility. This is not a fun situation of course but often a necessary step in recovery.  She said her favorite pastime was to ask the other transient residents at mealtime to “Tell me your story.” It was a distraction from their situations and often they found common ground that they walked upon at one time or another in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area.


As a REALTOR® I don’t always have an opportunity to hear my clients’ whole life stories, though while working with them, bits and pieces come out.  Some of them are funny, many are melancholy and most cannot be repeated without breaking my fiduciary duties to privacy. However, there is one common thread. House buying and selling is very personal. While at the core, it is a business transaction, the personal element cannot be ignored.  I try hard to remember this. Based on testimonials from my past home seller’s, I think I do a pretty good job of respecting their memories.  I, likewise, feel honored to be a part of my new home buyers as they write a new chapter in their life story.  And I always work for the happily ever after ending.
