Best Gift Ever for a Green Realtor

I got the most touching gift from my client today! We were in the trenches together all last fall, trying to put her beautiful little home back together again after it had been completely destroyed by a flood in the upper unit that turned into a major mold crisis. Exposure to mold had caused her to develop severe chemical sensitivities, and between her insurance company, the homeowners association at her complex, COVID, and her contractors, what should have been a quick turnaround had turned into a nightmare. A friend of hers referred her to me, knowing that as a green realtor I would have empathy for her severe indoor air quality issues and subsequent health problems. Together we got the job done against many obstacles, and her condo sold for a record price in her complex. She couldn’t have come up with a better way to say thank you. In addition to a Door Dash gift card - “you never eat when you are working!” she got me an array of green cleaning products in a cute carrier, a dust buster, a cell phone cleaner, and a few of the tricks of the trade I showed her - vanilla candles and white nail polish. One of the best things about being a realtor is forming relationships our clients during these transitional moments in their lives. It’s a bond that lasts.

Green cleaning supplies and big thank you
