5 Tissue Client Success Stories

Over the years (not too many to count, but almost too many to admit!) I’ve tried to help anyone and everyone that I possibly could. Being a Real Estate professional is like having access to a scalpel. You can use it to change someone’s life or make a serious mistake and cause yourself and those who trusted you major damage. Thankfully, God blessed me with ambition, energy and a love of caffeine which allows me the ability to get things done. That coupled with a ton of real estate experience gives me the chance to share those skills effectively with the world.

One instance that sticks out in my mind…

The home, a beautiful 3 family home in Hudson County. The quintessential “Grandma’s House”. It was well maintained but dated. You could tell that a family loved it and painted it with memories. The father, a tremendous man, had recently passed away. The mother, still dealing with the loss of her partner had begun to experience memory loss and required help. Their daughter, the wife and my client, was a devoted daughter the was stretched to her end with the loss and taking care of her mother. Between worrying about her mother and working to keep her family running she was painted into a corner. A mutual friend of ours connected me to the family and told me the story. I was in immediately. Transactionally, It went well and I was able to sell over asking. Always a good feeling to put dollars in the hands of good people.

The real joy was in lifting the burden.  

Ending a painful chapter or giving someone the resources to start a new one becomes cathartic. In this case there were tears and a heartfelt appreciation. The husband stiffed me for $300, which makes for a good bar story, but overall it was the often sought after blend of higher purpose and vocation meeting in a very human place.

Using a skill that you’ve built over years with toil and focus to truly help someone move onward is its own gift. Unlocking value that gives a person economic freedom, choices, peace of mind or even literally the space to move on from loss are the economics of true happiness.
