It’s been a good week.

As most of you know, I only work with people who find me in one of 3 ways: I have to know you. You have to have been referred to me by somebody I know. You have to have told me you found this blog. I don’t advertise. I don’t offer my services to anybody else.

That means that my “Job” feels more like I am just getting to see cool people and helping them make good choices.

This past week, I have been working with a buyer and a seller that I know well.

I am listing a really amazing ranch in Versailles for a couple I have known for over 20 years. I think it will sell fast, even this time of the year which is historically slow. It has a great floor plan, great location, a large and flat backyard, a sunroom and great outdoor space.

This couple has recommended me to several people over the years. I will miss them. They knew me before I became The LEXpert. Back then I was just a goofy guy who wore sandals and always had on my favorite yellow shirt.

The buyers I am working with is one of those situations where I have worked with multiple generations of the same family. This one is especially unique because I have worked with the family of both the husband and the wife before they married…..so they are the overlapping part of a Venn Diagram. I have know the husband since he was a little kid. We once went on a vacation with his family back in the same yellow shirt guy days I mentioned above.

The best thing about working with people who find me in one of those three ways is that I already have their trust. That sure makes it much less stressful for my clients.
