Ltd By Hughes Safes Rep 8730300 One of the moat fascinating of working in this profession for roe anyway Is the love and dedication of heart and soul that some people put Into their homes Certainly we get Iota of homes that have been well token care of beautifully decorated and superbly located but once in a while we see a home of outstanding features and This past week I have had the joy of working with a super couple from MississaUga that wish to locate In our area of Georgetown We have viewed homes In various price ranges and some very lovely homes have fallen Into their bracket Nothing seem to be clicking however until I decided to show a really special home south of town that I personally loved but would require exceptional people to the decor the gardens and the obvious total com these people have put Into his home You see Dot everyone cares about these things and it Is often very difficult to find the tight people to love another work of art It is sort of like a second mar I was to meet my clients at the home for a second viewing and I rtved a little early So as not to disturb the vendors of the home Just wandered around the beuatifully planted gardens admiring the flowers listening to the birds walking into the bush area to discover some wildflowers and Just let my senses have a mini vacation I was spotted In fairly short order by the lady of the house who by now knew me quite well and she asked me If I would like to walk through the herb garden and she would snip me some herbs to take home What a treat this was and I learned even more about this beautiful home My clients were late so we spent about IS minutes talking about Ihe herbs the fragrant bushes that were strategically placed so that they were under windows for spring and summer enjoyment By this time my couple had arrived and I was more prepared than ever to try and sell lbs home I It wis a wonderful hour for It easy to show a home that Is kind to your senses I can wind up this column by telling you that this showing brought forth a tale for we arc by no means finished with looking at this home However I thought I would relate story to you for the main purpose of the Importance of helping your agent of choice know all little details about your home It Is the little things that make the difference In the final price and a good sale If your home has historical features custom interior decorating interesting plantings and gardens it all helps for that special person to make a good choice about your home I really hope this home sells soon for if it doesn my hubby Is going to have an awfully hard time with me because even though we are not ready to move Just yet I know this home is one of a kind and I love it too THIS WEEKS MORTGAGE RATES AS OF HAY I Si
