Pay It Forward, Helping My Friend Prepare for an Open House






Pay It Forward, Helping My Friend Prepare for an Open House 

 

My good friend, Pat Wilks, is moving to Mississippi.  Since her husband has recovered from an illness, and she has closed her Forget-Me-Not Christian Book Store, they are trying to save money by selling their home...a For Sale by Owner. 

Her husband and brother in-law moved most of their belongings to Mississippi.  Pat is such a good person. This year has been really hard for her, closing and packing up her store, her house and being the care taker for her elderly parents. She needed some help in preparing her home for an open house. So last week, we moved what was left inside and outside into the storage shed.  While Pat finished vacuuming, I took photos for a YouTube video.   I helped her complete an open house flyer, and completed the below video of the house. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you know of anyone interested in this house, please let me know.  Pat is anxious to join her husband and to complete the tasks of unpacking and decorating their new home in Mississippi. Paying it forward for my friend is the least I could do to help make her move easier and less costly.

Rebecca- We should all be so lucky to have a friend like you.  That was a kind thing to do.  And, the house looks clean and ready to move in!  Hope it's a quick sale so your friend can move on!

Thanks Anita, and I do hope the house sells quickly.

Rebecca, that's a nice looking home for sale in Peterstown WV with great views.  Wish I had someone to refer there right now.

That’s a great pay it forward but I’m wondering why there isn’t a business arrangement there. Does your friend believe that she’ll get lots of help from you because you are her friend? I don’t mind helping people, but when it comes to my livelihood, there’s a reason why I do what I do. If you want some of my personal time for something that I’m not necessarily an expert at, such as painting or moving, I’ll help, of course. If she knew all the facts about trying to sell FSBO, she should be begging you to list her property for her.

Rebecca- wow, you are quite the friend. It speaks volumes of you as a person that you'd go to such extremes for someone without no payout in return. Your clients are lucky folks!

Nick,  would be nice!!

Ellen, thank you!

Joni, now that is so sweet of you...thank you!

Jim, My friend was a Realtor in Mississippi. And, if the house is not sold in a month, I will be listing it.  She needed help in moving and storing items. Since, she didn't know how to do videos, I made one for her. We both worked on the flyer at my house since her computer was not hooked up.

Margie, not clients...great friends!

Wow! Is that nice! It's sometime hard to have friends that would do something as nice... Sometimes it is hard for people to actually offer to help...

Lauren, I agree some people (like her family) never offered to help her pack the house. I helped some.

Hi Rebecca,

What a blessing you are!  My heart is always touched by your Godly service....  and all that you do for Him. 

The house looks great....  It is so nice and clean and it has beautiful floors and I also like the indoor plantation shutters.  I'm sure this home won't set long!  BTW... wonderful video too!

Rebecca that was a great pay it forward.  Friends like you are rare treasures and so hard to find!  The video was awesome and the house is lovely.  I pray it sells quickly and seller's are able to move on with their lives quickly.
