The mail contained a strange tiny envelope on Monday. I saw a last name on the return address, which seemed familiar, though I couldn't place it. I figured it must be one of Hick's acquaintances. I knew I'd heard him say that name. Hick leaves all the mail for me to open. HEH, HEH! I am delirious with power! Of course HE trusts ME. It's not like I have MY OWN MONEY or anything...
Inside was a little card with a handwritten note:
_____________________________________________________________
Dear Hick, Val, & Pony,
I'm glad we finally got this one wrapped up! I appreciate your patience & the opportunity to help get it sold.
Please let me know if I can be of help again down the road. Enjoy a little shopping trip on me when Target opens!
Realtor Guy

Inside the note was a gift card for Target, which is in the process of building a store over in Bill-Paying Town. I'm sure it would work for online ordering as well.
Wasn't that nice? A $50 gift card! (He wrote the amount on the back.) Even Hick was impressed. I'm pretty sure we'll be using Realtor Guy for our future flips, even without the paper forms ultimatum Hick had planned. Realtor Guy had honored the commission percentage given to us by our dear departed Realtor, and was always available for Hick's questions. We don't blame him for the Bargain House marathon. He was quick to get back to us as soon as he heard anything from the Buyer. Even late at night, and on Sundays.
Realtor Guy has good marketing sense.

That was very nice of him! Seems like he would be a good business partner for future flips.
ReplyDeleteWe DO plan to keep him as our realtor! Despite his modern ways, heh, heh!
