My most memorable was when a Buyer called on my listing, had cash and wanted an immediate closing. He was an attorney who did not want a title insurance policy and knew the property. Called Seller and we all met 15 minutes later at the title attorney's office, wrote the sales contract while sitting at the closing table and were finished in under an hour. Walked across the street to my office & commission deposited at the bank next door. Not sure if that sale will ever be topped but I'll keep trying!

It would be the one I just closed on 10-13-2017. I cannot get into the details due to confidentiality. The seller and the listing agent were very deceptive in their dealings. I learned so much on the backside getting to the truth. In the end, it is always about being of service to my clients. These were past clients and their loyalty is priceless.

I love serving veterans and I had one this year that was also an AR referral - we actually won a bidding war with a VA loan!
It took some convincing but, the end reward was the best any of us involved in the transaction had ever enjoyed.

I represented Bank of America (REO) AND the buyer (first timer and single mom) in the sale of a single family home in 2008 ... While walking up to the door to do the final walk through, we immediately noticed water coming from under the front door!!! A pipe leak behind the toiled had flooded the entire home. The buyer was devastated and understandably upset.
Long story short, BoA rehabbed the home and about 45 days later we closed with the same buyer. The buyer was very happy and I was impressed with BoA.

Sold a house to a couple who were both blind. We found a great house in a good neighborhood; the house was on a corner lot on a city bus line. Members of our church came out for a "house blessing" with food, gifts, and music.
That was about 20 years ago... I talked to the wife not long ago; they still live in that house.

Remarkable? So many that I can't even really think of one that stands out. And then at the same time, they're all pretty much what they are. That's kind of how I've been involved in this for as long as I have. There's always something new.

They had a dream. Their perfect house. In the perfect location. At the right price. But someone else's name was on the buyer line of the accepted contract. Their dream crashed on the rocks of reality.
Being the winter agent I was, even back then, I had not heard the fat lady sing. I stayed a constant presence in the world of the listing agent and when the buyer when wacky, my folks dream came true.

I was coming out of a condo listing with one client and as they left another couple asked if I could show them the condo. Unknown to me this was an extremely wealthy and well know couple (I don't follow cellebreties). They liked me, they liked the condo (which they purchased to use for about two weekends a year) and they paid cash for it. That was about 8 years ago and we still keep in touch.

I sent an investment listing to one of my investors on a Friday morning. He thanked me for it but said it was too far away and he wasn't interested. Then he called me at 8:30PM saying he decided to drive by it, met the sellers, and struck a deal with them. All I had to do was put it in writing. I drew up the contract, send it for e-signing, and we were under contract the following morning. I saw the property three weeks later, right before going to the Title Company for closing. Easiest commission ever!

I would have to say the one where the buyer made me a $1M over cost to build offer on my own property that was not on the market. I had owned it for only 17 months but took the offer.

My most memorable one taught me a lesson... always have things in writing. I had a partner that cheated me out of my portion of the commission.. this was way back in 1988, and it ws $10,000.. a lot of money at that time for anyone, especially for a single mom raising two kids... What was even worse, my Broker did not back me up.. so I left. Didn't want to work for a man like that... so went to another Brokerage.

How about the time I drove all over Atlanta (twice) looking for a home for this woman with a low budget. She couldn't find anything she wanted in the price range she qualified for. Finally found her a gem, but it serves my memory well every time a buyer calls, because I want to make sure I never do that again.
