Why? Why? Why do we do what we do??

I've wondered this often.  Why DO we do what we do? Maybe I can best illustrate it with some thoughts and stories instead of a real answer.....
When I was young-not that I'm old, but some would say I'm not really young anymore-I used to have a group of friends that I would hang out with.  We were all renters. We lived in a world of thinly spread white paint, nail holes filled with toothpaste, drafty windows, yard sale chairs and crappy appliances. Then we bought a home.  Not much of one, but it was ours.  A strange thing happened; all our buddies started hanging out at our place. It was where everyone felt comfortable-I think because it was owned by "one of us", not a faceless landlord who hated fixing things. Because we took the time to paint it with the things we held dear... our paint, our photos, our decorations.  Regardless of the price we paid for it, or how much it may be worth in 10 years, it was a HOME.  A place where we would live, love and be together.  It was an extension of us. It represented life..... our life.

NOW, we do everything we can to help others feel that same way.  We love helping someone begin their dream. We've been there and want nothing more than to pass it on. We are real.....  We are confident that we are doing the right thing.  We will tell someone if buying a home isnt a great idea for them. We will pass up an easy payday if it's not the right thing for our client. Not many other offices can look in the mirror and truly say that. We believe in what we we do and know this attitude will see us through.......

Bottom Line?......  Technology will only take you so far... Using statistics will only impress the ones that dont know the truth..... Those things are hollow without having your heart in it.  This office HAS their collective heart in it. Our focus will always be on our clients........... and improving their lives............
