So as I mentioned in a previous post, Lyon Real Estate is holding its annual awards ceremony this coming Friday. Today at my weekly office meeting, they gave some "other" awards...these are the inside jokes at the office that definitely will not be recognized at our company awards ceremony. So what award do you think I received? Any bets?
I received the award for "The Longest Escrow" of the year in 2008. This particular transaction was a short sale with Countrywide that took 5.5 months, and LOTS of negotiation (and renegotiation after the approval) on my part.
Har-dee-har guys! The office roared with laughter when this award was presented to me. They all know that short sales are a big chunk of my transactions...not all of them take so long. I just had another one that was approved after only 11 days! So I will be displaying this certificate proudly!
Boy how much talking did you have to do over 174 days? I am trying to imagine. Thank goodness a few short, short sales stepped up there as well.
Hi Erin!
A well deserved citation presentation, to be sure! Were there any louder than normal discussions with the people of power? I can't imagine you ever raising your voice to anyone, but it was the only thing that worked for me when I had my 5 month short sale.
