All,
I have to do a little shameless plug for my wife. She is a realtor in Clearwater FL and recently had a big situation. Her seller decided to cancel the contract for the lawn maintenance and pool maintenance people after he got his investment property under contract. Grass grows rather quickly in FL and pools can take a nasty turn for the worse in a matter of days if not properly cared for. Needless to say the yard was shin high in most areas with some weeds, i kid you not being waste high on my (I'm @Brandon Turner size, and I will challenge him to a fight at the next BP summit :) ). The day before closing the sellers agent calls my wife and says if this isn't taken care of there will be no closing. Her client was unable to get anyone out there to take care of it with a days notice, so what does she do. She takes our mower over there and mows the place herself, and shocks the heck out of the pool.
The closing happened today and now a new couple are first time home owners. I'm proud of her for doing what ever it takes to get the job done.

Your wife is a rockstar, @Robert Curls! Give her a big bear hug from me. (behave...) and yes, we can wrestle... but only if we are covered in honey and there are bears involved. Gotta make it interesting.

@Robert Curls Kudos to your wife. She embodies the true heart of a Realtor, willing to help and go the extra mile to make the deal happen. Sounds like she cared more about the deal than the seller did.
I know many agents who would have done the same thing. You should take her out to dinner :). She has earned it.

Great job. I had the same experience with my broker before I hung my license there. I was recovering from surgery and bed bound. My rental needed some work. My broker did it herself and never asked for a dime. When I saw her dedication, I knew that her company was the right one to hang my license with. I see her go above and beyond regularly. Agents like her and the one the OP mentioned set the standard for excellence.
