Giving Thanks to Clients and One Another

This is the month when we pay special attention to what we’re thankful for. In the spirit of the season, we asked our agents what they’re thankful for when it comes to their careers. These are just some of the wonderful responses we received.

What are you thankful for when it comes to working with your clients?

“I'm thankful that they have given me their trust, loyalty and friendship. We've been able to laugh, trudge through deep snow, outrun wild animals living in kitchen cupboards, land on the dream home, sell in the right amount of time and high five at closings, to name a few. Through it all, it has been an adventure.”
— Christine Johnson, agent for 15 years, with Realty Executives since June 2021

“Clients putting their trust in me with something so significant in their lives.”
— Hailey Chang, Realty Executives agent for 9 months

— Jodi Olson, Realty Executives agent for 20 years

“It was a difficult market for buyers and I am especially thankful for their resilience and realistic view on the market.”
— Amy Sprengel, Realty Executives agent for 4 years

“I've been thankful to be able to serve clients of so many different walks of life. My favorite was when I helped a family with 3 kiddos move from their trailer into a beautiful ranch home with a spacious yard for their kids to play!”
— Jordan Hynum, Realty Executives agent for 2 years
