What made it your best deal?
This transaction was last year July. I was able to assist my friend who needed a home in a time crunch. She was living in a storage facility basically and at a family member’s home. Her dogs were living elsewhere, and she was paying for them to be in a kennel. The fact that I was able to help her and advocate for her along the way made it the best deal. My friend and her dogs are well and loving their home.

I had a horrible experience with a Realtor who was not willing to work for the client. We had many hiccups and change of circumstances that were definitely a main difficulty when we were first qualifying the borrowers for the home. This shaped my career by educating more clients so that they are fully engaged in the process. I also became a Realtor in addition afterwards to never repeat that homebuying experience from that which we all had to deal with from that former Realtor.

I recently did one for a single mom and that was such a rewarding experience. She is the first homeowner in her family and her three-year-old daughter was able to experience the joy of knowing that was her home.

What else was interesting about the deal?
What was interesting about the deal was this was the first deal I ever closed.
