I am reminded that Auctioneers and REALTORS are not just marketers of real estate. I was asked to meet a gentleman who recently lost his wife. He asked me to consult with him on the sale of his home. The memories of this quiet home were simply too much to handle. I quickly found myself switching hats from that of a Professional Auctioneer to an Experienced Counselor. We shared some wonderful memories together, offered life experiences and was an ear for this man to speak to. I had a wonderful time.
This was obviously the LOVE of his life. It was time for me to "Say Goodbye".

I realize this blog is somewhat off topic from the norm. It is important to share that Auctioneers and REALTORS should be great listeners, not always conducting the business of real estate, but conducting the business of being people persons.
He told me he went through his life holding on to the letters "L" , "O" , "V".
When he met his wife.......she was holding the letter "E".......this finally completed him.

What a lovely story, not interested in a house or anything, but stumbled across this and thought it was nice.
