I have an instance that I will remember for the rest of my life. I was representing a seller and also helping with a new purchase. I was desperately trying to keep everyone calm. After leaving a message on my client’s phone, I thought I had hung up my cell phone. Needless to say, I went off telling my husband that this deal would never @&%*& close. This was going to be the death of me and on and on... Turns out, all of this was left on their answering machine!More

| They Bought it Anyway |

I was showing a vacant house and as soon I opened the door one of the children went running through the house; and smack right into the bay window. Blood started gushing right onto the brand new white carpet. I wasn’t too concerned about the child, but since it was my listing, I was more concerned about the carpet situation. The prospective buyers said we need some hydrogen peroxide, because that will get the blood out. Away to the store I went. When I got back, the hydrogen peroxide worked perfectly and the buyers said that they decided to buy the house.More

Well, the story which I will always remember is my very first closing 16 years ago with Cindy Dorsett. The home was a 2-story, and the buyer insisted on FHA financing even though he was a 100 percent buyer. Cindy represented the seller. The seller was made aware of all FHA required repairs needing to be done before the appraiser came out. And, of course, he didn’t complete ALL repairs as promised. I had to meet the appraiser who wasn’t happy with how the seller did the repairs. He said several things were needed prior to closing and also called for an FHA certification. I met the inspector who made me promise these items would be done. If so, he wouldn’t write them up since we failed. He said he had five kids to feed, and he could be rechecked on his inspection and didn’t want to lose his job - and if he did - it would be my fault. The seller had done all he was going to do. This only meant one thing. Cindy and I became painters.More
