I know, I know. This is a blog for insurance agents and I probably shouldn't let the Faceless Realtor Guy get anywhere near our sandbox. But, just for today, I'm going to let him borrow my shovel. Here's the story:

I was talking to a friend of mine briefly this afternoon and she divulged that she and her husband had just celebrated the first anniversary of their new home. And to help them celebrate, their realtor sent them a gift card to their favorite restaurant.

Now this gesture says three things to me:

1. To remember such a thing, the realtor has got to be pretty organized


2. The realtor invests a good deal of resources into maintaining working business relationships


3. The realtor knew his clients well enough to know where they'd like to eat

Any way you slice it, the guy clearly goes above and beyond for clients. And if I can ever get over my fear of committment enough to buy real estate, I'll be asking my friend for this guy's number. And there's nothing like earning a referral that you didn't have to ask for!

So here's to you, Faceless Realtor Guy. Thanks for being our Salesperson of the Day.
