Happy 'Belated' Valentines Day to You and Yours!
Love Covers a Multitude of Wrongs
I was cruelly led to believe when I was young that Valentine’s Day was reserved ONLY for those closest to us—that it was weird to wish strangers or acquaintances a Happy Valentine’s Day. That would be equal to telling them I love them. But aren’t we suppose to love others?
Of course, I’m bringing up Valentine’s Day because it’s February, the month for Valentines, and it’s a BIG deal… bigger than just flowers or dinner with that special someone. Throughout the past 19 years of my life, I have learned to understand what it is to love. Love is not just words, but Love is an ‘action’ word. Love has an outward expression that is seen if never heard. “And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil.”
When you read these words, it sure sounds like love is NOT reserved for just those close to us but rather it’s a verb lived out on and for others. Others being anyone and everyone. I’m so proud of my team for buying into and adapting in action LOVE towards clients, prospects, vendors and even our competition. I’m confident this is why we have been recognized as the real estate sales team others measure themselves by.
So the secret to our success is pretty much summed up in this month’s newsletter theme: L-O-V-E. Not as a noun, but as a VERB. In fact, when we find ourselves with a decision to make, it’s pretty much impossible to go wrong filtering through this question: What does love require of me?
We do love helping people sell and buy the place they call home. We love helping our past clients (who are never really past clients) increase their wealth investing in real estate. We love giving a portion of our income and time to Worthy Causes. I love watching team members grow both personally and professionally. I love competitors as it makes us better at helping others get what they want. And people say we are better than good at doing just that! And we work each day to SHOW love toward everyone. It is what is required of us (our belief system).
Also, as you know, we love making guarantees! Like our Buyer Satisfaction Guarantee: Love the home or we’ll buy it back! Or our Seller Guarantee: Your Home Sold or We’ll Buy It! And we guarantee that a portion of our income WILL go to a very worthy cause like…
St. Jude Children's Reseach Hospital!
We are on a mission to raise $5,000 for St. Jude Children's Reseach Hospital. We do this by donating to them a portion of our income from homes we sell. As you know St. Jude Children's Reseach Hospital does awesome work in helping kids fight through and survive nasty life threatening diseases like cancers and sickle cell.
Most don’t know that St. Jude Children's Reseach Hospital depends on sponsorships and donations to provide their world class care and keep costs for families of these beautiful kids to a minimum. So when you or anyone you know does business with us, not only do we deliver on our award-winning service, you can rest assured a very worthy cause benefits as well.
If you or anyone you know is considering selling, give me a call or pass on my number. Thank you in advance for your referrals! My number is 219-293-8494.
Over the past decade and a half of helping hundreds of families sell or buy the place they call home, we have met some wonderful, loving, caring people. People like you! And, referrals of those you know considering buying or selling will reveive the award winning service we are known for and the beautiful kids at St. Jude Children's Reseach Hospital will benefit as well.
I hope you and your family are well and that this Valentine's Day brought you much joy and happiness. Happy 'Belated' Valentine’s Day!
