And I LOVE that.

I love the continued connection. I love hearing what is new in my clients' lives. I love that the relationship doesn't end when the keys are handed over or the paperwork is signed. Those little moments remind me just how lucky I am to do what I do.

And then there is another moment that happened a couple of weeks ago.

A past client reached out to let me know they had decided to use a lower-commission agent when selling their home. Now, some might think that is a strange thing to reach out to your previous REALTOR® about, but honestly? It meant a lot to me.

They didn't have to tell me. They could have simply moved forward with their decision. But they took the time to reach out, give me a heads-up, and have that conversation.

And that speaks volumes.

Let's be real. In this economy, no one, and I mean NO ONE, can blame someone for wanting to save a few dollars. Everyone has to do what is best for them and their family. There is absolutely no judgment here.

But the fact that they felt comfortable enough to reach out, and respected our relationship enough to let me know, warmed my heart.

Because that is what it is all about.

It is about building relationships where people feel comfortable being honest with you. Where they know they can call you with a question, share a life update, ask for advice, or simply say hello. Where the connection is genuine and not just about the next transaction.

I have met some truly wonderful people through this career. People who have become friends, supporters, and some of my biggest cheerleaders.

And I think there is something really special about that.

You often hear that you attract like-minded people, and I truly believe it. The kindness, the honesty, the humour, the trust, and the connections I have built over the years are things I will never take for granted.

So to my past clients who still call, text, share their lives, recommend me, cheer me on, or simply keep in touch…
