In my over 20 year career the one client that has always been a favorite is the first time homebuyer.
What isn’t to love about the flush of excitement as a young adult sheds the protection of parents, landlords or school and makes the decision to strike out on their own? Their energy is contagious and they are open to education and guidance.
These fledgling buyers almost always do everything on time and as you requested because they don’t have the bad habits of more “experienced” buyers.
I am working with a series of first time homebuyers lately, most of them are young women (neat!) and have been caught up in their excitment. There were issues with the last two closings, but these ladies kept their cool, took my (very good) advice and hung in there while things were sorted out.
Getting to the closing with these buyers has been so much fun….seeing them take the keys to their new home is a gift to my spirit.
What is even better is the recognition and thanks that they freely offer to me. Both young ladies are having me to their new home after they settle in and both stay in touch with me regularly. One of them texted me when she hung the “Welcome Home” picture I gave her and today I got a thank you note in the mail from another.
What could be a better feeling than opening up a note like this?:
