In my blog, you'll find that I don't talk about my real estate clients or my interactions with them. The reason for this is because as a real estate agent and a REALTOR®, there is a strict code of ethics and rules that I subscribe to. When I work with someone to buy or sell a home, we engage in a fiduciary relationship. That means that during the course of the relationship, the buyer or seller will disclose some confidential information about their financial situation or the reason for selling their home. I am, however, required to disclose any known, existing material facts about the property I am representing.
So, I don't think it's a good idea to blog about my clients and the details of our home search or the successes or issues arising in selling a property. I suppose I could be vague as I describe something, but I really do not want my clients worrying that they may end up in my blog. I take the fiduciary agreement very seriously and I honor and respect the privacy of my real estate clients.
With that said, I noticed that a friend of mine had posted a blog about a home I recently showed her and I figured if she was going to talk about it publicly, then I could, too.
This morning I received an email from someone congratulating me on the nice write-up Christine David had posted about me. I had no idea what she was talking about, so I checked Christine's Facebook page and saw a link to her new blog post about real estate. What a wonderful surprise it was to mentioned in her sweet story about her grandmother's former house. Thank you, Christine!!
You may visit Christine's blog to read about the home I showed her (and why it was so significant), and please be sure to check out Christine's channel on YouTube - she is very talented at demonstrating how to create cards and scrapbook page layouts.
Look for a "Spotlight on a Local Business" blog post about Christine David, a fantastically talented teacher, scrapbooker, card-maker, idea-generator, artist, mother, wife, and friend in the near future. As a special treat, I'd like to share the first video tutorial I ever saw of Christine's:
