What Being Home Means To Me

I'm going home, I'm on my way home, I'll see you at home, I will be home at.., you are at home doing what? (just kidding) ... those are the many things I may say with the word home in them, but taken at just face value it just means I'll be at the house at a certain time or something is going on at the house. I have been thinking about "home" and that is why I titled my blog Welcome Home because it is more than just a word for me....it's a place I honor for my family and really for my business in a figurative sense as that is what I do for a living...real estate ..."homes".

Being home for me in a mindset is that is it a place you can feel relaxed, carefree, be yourself, ask questions and get answers even when they seem silly, being part of a team, being the place my extended family is welcome and is comfortable sharing in, it's a place for me to grow and to watch ideas and people grow and flourish. It is the place to KNOW that those that care about you and that you care for want you there and need you there and visa versa. Each person has something to give and to offer and to learn from each other in our home.

In my business I want my clients to know that I want to be there for them as myself and for them to be comfortable to be themselves with me. I want them to be relaxed and carefree enough to ask questions even when they seem silly or may not fully know how to ask that question so we can explore all the possibilites together. I want to see them grow in their understanding and help them each step of the way in their journey to homeownership or to sell their homestead. I need to be sensitive to their individual needs and concerns because, after all, we are each unique so each situation will need to be handled in it's own way. I also know that I learn something new each day and that each client I come in contact with is going to teach me a new trick or maybe enlighten me to an idea I had not thought of.

It also means, in my business, that each agent I come in contact with that they feel like we are working on the same team to reach an end goal for our respective clients and that is to make it to the closing table with as little stress as possible for the buyers and sellers. When a speed bump or ~sheesh I hate to think about it~ but a roadblock may come that we feel "at home" enough to work the challenge together in the best interests of all.

It is my goal that my clients feel when they turn the key in the lock and walk through their new door that they are home in every sense of the word.
