The Gold Wrapping Paper, Christmas in Florida Keys

The Gold Wrapping Paper

                                                                                   
At this very commercial time of year, here’s a story that reminds me of what’s important.

Once upon a time, there was a man who worked hard to put food on the table for his family. One year during the holidays, he saw that his five-year-old daughter had used up the last of the family's expensive gold wrapping paper. He became even angrier when he saw that she had used all of that expensive gold paper to decorate just one shoebox, which she had put under the Christmas tree. He also was worried about where she had gotten money to buy what was inside the shoebox.

The next morning the little girl, filled with excitement, brought the gift box to her father and said, "This is for you, Daddy!" As he took the box, the father was embarrassed by his angry thoughts the day before.

But when he opened the shoebox, he found it was empty. Again his anger flared. "Don't you know, young lady," he said harshly, "when you give someone a present, there's supposed to be something inside the box!"

The little girl looked up at him with sad and frightened tears and whispered: "Daddy, it's not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was all full."

The father was crushed. He fell on his knees and put his arms around his precious little girl. He begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.

It is told that the father kept this little gold box by his bed for all the years of his life, even after his daughter had a family of her own. Whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems, he would open the box, take out an imaginary kiss, and remember the love of this beautiful child who had put it there.

In a very real sense, each of us has an invisible golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, and friends. There is no more precious gift.

Lela,
Words cannot express the depth of gratitude that you have given us in taking on the impossible task of listing our condo and selling it in record time. The circumstances at CC Condominium, as you are well aware, are utterly impossible. ----, yet you were able to professionally and coolly communicate with them to get the information you needed. They will give no one,orvners, tenants, especially realtors 5 minutes of their time, yet you sacrificed hours with the manager in order to get the correct information and to review it until you understood all of the details regarding the multitude of assessments. our patience and professionalism exceeded anything we could expect from a Realtor.

Do you Love where You ARE? 

If you have to Move Where Would You Love to GO

Professionaily, there is nothing you left undone. You listed our condo, w e changed our mind on the short sale route, you relisted/updated to reflect a price that it would real and to our surprise it actually sold and had several offers within 3 days!! All of this, after
communicating with us over the past year, as we trudged through this nightmare at CC has become and tried to digest our gruesome circumstance. That is commendable to say the least !

In past experiences with realtors in Florida and New Jersey, we expect to do a lot of the leg work. If not, closings get canceled or pushed back among other negative circumstances becauset he realtor didn't do all of their job. You were on top of this transaction every step of the way, impeccable! You are aggressive in every thing you do and it shows, by you leading us down a very dark path into the light. We didn't always want to hear the cold, hard truth, but your patience, experience and knowledge shone through as you held our hand through this awful experience.
