many years ago, in fact it was in the mid 1980’s and we were both selling Real Estate in North Jersey.\u00a0 I always loved when Tim was on the other side of a transaction, as I knew that no matter what obstacle we might encounter when closing a sale, would be overcome by his knowledge, tenacity and hard work.\u00a0 We were both working for different Companys at the time, but that did not matter.\u00a0 We were Realtors that knew that respect\u00a0and cooperation with each other, was the code of our professionalism.\u00a0 And a professional Tim is..he is consistently a Top Producer in his office plus has many production\u00a0awards and achievements to his name: most recently \u00a02011 Coldwell Banker’s Top Fifty Agents in New Jersey (NJ has 1000s of agents)\u00a0and a 2011 member of Coldwell Banker’s International Diamond Society.\u00a0 2012 Awards will probably be announced this month, and I’m sure he is right up there, as he always is. Last summer when I saw Tim he had just returned from an\u00a0appearance on, I believe it was Fox News, as a spokesman for what was happening in the New York Metropolitan Real Estate market. It was fun to hear of his experience and then to see it. \u00a0\u00a0I have always said it has been hard for me to retire as\u00a0it was not only the work I loved, but more importantly,\u00a0the friendships and\u00a0the personalities of the agents\u00a0in any given Real Estate office, that I miss.\u00a0 \u00a0Every day someone will have a story\u00a0that will make you laugh, make you cry, grab your heart or leave you just wondering.\u00a0\u00a0 It takes a special type of person to be a Realtor, many try and fail, but those that are successful are also special.\u00a0\u00a0 That\u00a0is what brings me to this story today.\u00a0 I happened to see this on facebook and enjoyed\u00a0seeing Tim and what he had been up to,\u00a0 so thought I would pass it on. I also thought it is a great reminder of what we are missing, especially while we are enjoying the 81 degrees forcasted for today.\u00a0 This is just one of the many stories told in an office,\u00a0only something a Realtor would do and then\u00a0tell about it.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Enjoy.<\/p>\n
