I worked on and off with this client through the pandemic. He and his family decided to rent instead of buy but were planning a purchase. He sent me this message:
“In an unfortunate coincidence, the week after we last saw you, my wife found out that her role at work was made redundant….Fortunately, they’ve been able to patch together a few temporary new roles for her in the Collegeville site to keep her on payroll but we just got word that the full-time role they’d like to create for her will be in…Boston.
We’re excited about the prospect of relocating there, probably next spring. And it makes us feel a little better about not pulling the trigger earlier on buying a house here in PA. But we are truly sad that if we ever do wind up buying something before we’re eligible for a 55+ community, it most likely won’t be with you. Despite the fact that we’re both sticks in the mud when it comes to big decisions like that, your whole approach and demeanor made us feel excited about the idea of moving forward, at least, and that’s gotta count for something even if it’s not the kind of testimonial you can put on your website.
If we learn that any friends of ours are moving to the Main Line, we will absolutely send them your way without any hesitation. And if you happen to have a twin who is like you in every way but happens to be working in Boston, please do let us know.”
