Giving Thanks for Thanksgiving

As Thanksgiving approaches, it’s good to step back for a moment and consider all that is wonderful in our lives. It has been a difficult 18 months for many, and I know that all of us have been affected in some way, whether large or small. But despite the global pandemic, there is still much to be thankful for.

Over the past year I have helped dozens of individuals, couples, and families find the right home for them. Some have needed more space to accommodate their growing needs, others were looking for that special place that was “just right” for them, and others still experienced the thrill of buying their very first home. Being in real estate has not always been easy during the pandemic, but home buyers and sellers alike have been incredibly kind, patient, and adaptable. Despite the challenges, I was reminded time and again of the reasons I chose real estate as my career; to help others, to help build the community I am a part of, and to grow personally and professionally. For this I am thankful.

It probably doesn’t need to be said, but no real estate agent operates alone. Every day I interact with a variety of wonderful professionals. From other real estate agents to mortgage brokers, lawyers to home inspectors, I am thankful to be part of such a fantastic network of people who collectively work to ensure my clients are well taken care of, whether that is adapting to new regulations or restrictions, going out of their way to serve one of my clients, or taking a moment
out of a hectic day to recognize the effort of a colleague.

And of course, I cannot forget to express my thanks for those closest to me. For my wife, Casey, who always provides exactly the kind of support I need and my son Cam, who reminds me daily of the positive effect a ridiculous smile can have. And last but certainly not least, my fantastic administrative assistant Jules, who shares my passion for serving our clients and does so much to make my professional life less hectic. I am extremely thankful to have these special
individuals in my life!

So to conclude, I hope that you are able to take a few moments to reflect on all that is good in your life, and that you are able to share that positivity with those around you during this Thanksgiving season.
