Beyond the Open Door:
The Heart Behind a Good Realtor
❦
If you think Realtors only "open doors," or if you don't understand the depth and
humanity a good Realtor possesses, give me a call. I've got stories.
I've got stories of joy, heartbreak, burning,
seething hatred (not for me) and despera‐
tion. All the emotions that need navigating —
not avoiding.
I've sat quietly with my clients' despair —
sellers and buyers who have reached bottom
— or in their ecstatic exaltation.
This is why I do what I do. Not for the glory,
but to Be Present for my clients. I roll up my
sleeves or break out the tissues.
I listen, plan, strategize and sometimes I have
to be a referee. I have to be the shoulder that
my client laments upon. Sometimes I ignore
the grit and dirt, the frustration, fear and
plow ahead with a steady pace.
I could churn out escrows like an assembly
line, yet I prefer to be in the trenches when
I'm needed. I'm happy to rejoice with my cli‐
ents in a smooth, standard transaction, but I
do not turn away from the bone-crushing
hard ones.
I have a purpose.
Some may not see what I do, but I sleep at night with a fully aligned heart,
resplendent of knowing.
❦
My clients' lives move forward and onward, but a piece of them
remains in me. Always.
