Here’s a head-banger for you! 🤯 Today, our Client Care Manager spoke with a Buyer (who resides in the Central time zone) who was interested in a few houses we have featured on our website. So, Jen booked a phone call for 5pm to talk to Jerry. I then asked Jen to call her back and be sure that she knows Jerry is calling at 5pm Eastern, not Central. Done. She booked the appointment, which sends out an automated email and text message stating, 5:00 pm Eastern at 941-241-1632 📞 (our phone number). To be even more thorough, Jen always follows up with a personalized text stating the same: “Jerry will call you today at…” At 4:55pm, the phone rings and it’s the client wondering where Jerry is. I said, “He’s finishing another call across the desk from me. He’s planning on calling you in 5 minutes.” The buyer became nearly irate. “I am at the house to meet Jerry. I was told by Jen that Jerry was meeting me at the house!”

ME: “So, you realize that we are in Florida, and you’re not even in the same time zone, right?”

BUYER: “Yes, I realize that, but Jerry was supposed to meet me at the house!”

ME: “Okay. You realize we’re not in the same state, but you expected Jerry to somehow appear at the house you’re looking at in another state?”

BUYER: “Just forget about the call!” And she hung up on me. 🙄

Sometimes you just need to shake your head. 🤦‍♂️

What a whirlwind of a day! 🌪️ It started with a sleepless night 😴 and led into a high-octane Saturday with just four of us on duty. Despite the nonstop calls and back-to-back meetings from 10am-7pm, I’m not complaining. I was meant to shoot videos but got caught up with the influx of calls and emails. One highlight was a Google Meeting with a traveling OR Cardiac Specialist—stressful job, gorgeous home 🏡, but he’s aiming for a lottery-win price. We’ll keep in touch until he’s ready to be more reasonable.

One potential seller accused us of being a scam for not dropping everything to talk to them immediately. After some back-and-forth, they did their research and ended up almost pleading to get on our schedule—nice turnaround! ☺️

After our Client Care Manager and Executive Assistant left, I handled incoming dialogues. One grateful soon-to-be-client expressed deep gratitude for my time and wished me a wonderful weekend. Despite some ups and downs, I ended the day feeling accomplished and hopeful. ✨ After a challenging 2023, the second half of 2024 looks promising. It’s clear that flowing with the river of life, instead of fighting upstream, makes everything easier to navigate. 🌊

This is spot on.

Why is the education system designed to be pushing square pegs in round holes? I’m not interested in a world where we all think in the same way. A world without creativity and innovation; without debates or breakthroughs. I am proudly a square peg, and my fellow dyslexics are square pegs too. But the education system is full of round holes. Square pegs don’t fit neatly in round holes, we’re not uniform, and we don’t fit snuggly into the education system. As a result, at school, we’re often told we’re failures. We need to reimagine and reshape the way children are taught and set up for life to fit with what students need, and with what the world needs right now. At the moment, we’re spending years preparing kids for a world that no longer exists. Take AI as an example – most schools aren’t teaching it, but isn’t the goal of school to prepare you for what next? Here’s my thoughts on why schools need to ditch uniformity and look ahead to the future: https://virg.in/4dsPWc3

We just had a touching conversation with Sandy and Joan, two sisters who need to sell their mother’s home. Their 88-year-old mom is now in assisted living 🏡, and the burden of selling her home has fallen on them. Both Jerry and I have faced this exact situation, and it hits close to home. ❤️ They’re trying to sell FSBO but are only receiving low-ball offers from investors. One sister is a former Realtor, highlighting just how challenging it is in this economic climate. We’re here to help them through this, fueled by our own experiences and a deep passion for getting our clients the results they need. 🌟 This situation is a poignant reminder of how fragile and overwhelming life’s challenges can be, and it reinforces our commitment to guide our clients to the finish line with compassion and expertise. 🤝

Last night, after a long day at work, I was ready to unwind when JB came over, phone in hand, to show me our first 1-star Google review. It read: "SCAMMERS. Run as fast as you can!! No integrity at all!!" 😲

So much for relaxing. 😖

Of all the possible negative comments, accusing us of lacking integrity is the most outrageous. Sure, I can be a bit short-tempered at times. 😅 And, well JB… he just eats too much. 🐷 So yeah, I can see how his feeding frenzies get in the way of him prioritizing his work in some instances. But scammers? That’s just absurd. I’d lose my Real Estate License for starters. 🏠 As for integrity, I was almost speechless. Almost. I had plenty to say in response to this person who was lashing out at us for something entirely beyond our control. She couldn’t get approved for a mortgage—for two years. Yeah, that’s a scam, all right! 🙄

In a world already full of hostility, it was baffling to see us hit with such negativity despite our positive and good-natured efforts. Then it hit me. This individual inadvertently did us a favor. Our response to her negative review highlighted our core principle: putting the client first. In this case, the homeowners selling their property are our clients, and it’s our duty to ensure we don't bring them an unqualified buyer. 💜

And that's how I turned a negative into a positive! ✨Oh, and as a bonus? Google removed it! 🙌They saw the review as the ‘hate’ it was. Awesome!

Just walked into the office and JB had a homeowner on speakerphone. Jerry tried discussing selling his home, but the homeowner launched into a political diatribe. Jerry stayed patient, trying to steer the conversation back on track. Meanwhile, the one-sided conversation turned heated with the homeowner dropping “F” bombs about the current administration. I signaled JB to use earbuds.

Kudos to JB for refocusing the Seller, and it seems we can assist him, but we may reconsider this relationship. If this is how he starts our first conversation, I'm wary about future interactions! Eeeeek! 😬 Afterall, positivity attracts positivity... and negativity, well, you know the rest. Run for cover! LOL 😅

🕒 Just had a hilarious mix-up with Scott! 🤦‍♀️ Here's how it went down:

Scott (1:01 pm) "Hi Jerry, It’s about two hours before our meeting, just a reminder."

Us (1:03PM) "Hi Scott, you're meeting with us both at 3pm, and we are looking forward to it! - Tamera"

Scott (1:05 pm) "Hello, I thought we concluded on 12pm, I’ll be in a meeting around 3pm. I don’t know why we can’t stick to the time we earlier arranged. If you can’t do 12pm, we’ll have to reschedule."

I couldn't believe it! 🤷‍♀️😂

When we logged onto the Google Meet at 3pm, Scott wasn't on camera, and all we could hear was him munching on what sounded like potato chips. 🤣 With Scott managing several multi-million dollar listings, it makes me wonder if or how stays organized. 😬

Helping Homeowners: A Story of Integrity and Support 🏡💪

Every week, we receive heartwarming and heart-rending calls from homeowners who want—or desperately need—to sell their homes. As nationwide home buyers, we hear from various markets. This week, we had a special call from Ron in Phoenix.

Ron’s a savvy investor with over a dozen years of experience. Unfortunately, he recently fell victim to scammers and unethical professionals. His story was both heartbreaking and infuriating.💔😡

Ron hired a contractor to renovate his investment property in the Midwest. Instead of doing the job, the contractor used Ron’s debit card for personal expenses and staged fake progress photos. Ron also had the misfortune of dealing with two incompetent realtors. The first realtor was fired by their broker and replaced with an agent chosen by the broker. Ron didn’t even have a say! This new agent does not communicate with Ron and has done nothing to help sell the home. The new agent is completely MIA.

Ron’s story broke our hearts, and we were determined to help him. We worked tirelessly for three days to find a solution to help Ron break even and save his thriving business. We’re now on the path to finding a buyer for Ron’s beautifully remodeled home, and he couldn’t be more appreciative. We’re honored to be on his team and look forward to sharing this soon-to-be success story.🌟🤝

My Journey of Helping Families Find Home and Heart ❤️

I spent five wonderful years as an Airbnb host in the majestic mountains of Western North Carolina. During this time, I had the pleasure of meeting a diverse range of guests: a renowned violinist from Nashville, a Google Earth photographer, a widower from Ohio starting anew, and many others. Each story and interaction was deeply enriching. I organized surprise birthdays, special family dinners, and even a boat ride and picnic for a Gulf War soldier and his family. It was an honor to help guests enjoy the magic of Western NC. ✨

Managing two homes allowed me to transition into long-term rentals, including hosting an author who needed six months to write a book. This experience cultivated my passion for helping renters, a group often overlooked by realtors.

After moving to Sarasota, I met Jerry, and together we launched our real estate business. Initially, I set up consultations, sometimes up to five per day. My background in business development proved invaluable, but the true reward was helping renters become homeowners. We've assisted families nationwide in finding rental homes and eventually purchasing them. 🏠

The journey is not without its challenges, especially when clients face emotional transitions. I've often taken on additional responsibilities to ensure our clients succeed. We've even personally covered costs to help families close on their homes. One woman needed legal assistance, which we provided at our expense. We do this because it's the right thing to do.

Our commitment goes beyond financial gain. We are dedicated Real Estate Consultants who genuinely care about the people we serve. Working seven days a week, often 12-14 hour days, is driven by the joy and honor of helping others. ❤️

🏡 Why is My Home Not Selling?

With 30 years in real estate, we've seen it all—from the 2008 crash to the pandemic boom. But now, housing affordability is the toughest it's been in 40 years.

🌍 Real estate may be local, but some challenges are nationwide: high interest rates, inflation, and, most pressing, affordability issues. These factors can lead to stale listings, minimal showings, and low offers.

Why isn’t your home selling? 🤔 It could be the market, poor marketing, or an overpriced listing. Jerry, our in-house real estate expert, has found that home values are dropping in unexpected places. Surprised to hear some areas in Sarasota, Florida, are losing value? So were we! Sarasota has been a top relocation city for years, making this trend especially shocking.

So, what can you do? 🏡 That's where Burson Home Advisors comes in. Our proven solution is perfect for today's market challenges. We've helped homeowners like you get full price for their homes, and we can do the same for you.
