Tis’ the season for real estate agents to take pride in the service they provide

As families gather in their homes for the holidays, if you are a real estate professional, you’ve got to have some feeling of pride knowing you found the right home for many of these families.

Many times in our professional lives we get caught up in the numbers – how many sales, how many listings, the amount of the sale, the amount of the commission.

But now that the holidays are here, reflect for a moment on what you are selling – a place where families gather to celebrate well, just being families.

Comedian Bill Cosby once joked “Human beings are the only creatures that allow their children to come back home.”

Be proud of your role as a real estate professional in getting people into the right property. It truly is a beautiful thing.

We’ve been involved in the business long enough to know the real estate business is not an easy one.

That’s why we create tools to make your jobs easier.

Providing a home in the right community for a family – where kids can play, one can mingle with their neighbors, good schools are nearby and it’s pleasant to go downtown for a cup of coffee, should bring a sense of satisfaction to any broker or agent.

At a HUD hearing, former US Senator Elizabeth Dole once said: “The benefits of homeownership for families, communities and the nation are profound. When individuals and families own their home, they establish roots in their communities and have a great stake in the growth, safety and development of their towns and cities.”

She went on to add: “It is through initiatives to further grow homeownership that we empower individuals and families by helping them build wealth and improve their lives.”

So when you drive down the street these next few days and see all those homes filled with families enjoying  themselves, take a second to enjoy the part you played in making it happen.

The staff at Home Junction would like to wish everybody a Happy (and fulfilling) Holiday Season.
