How small is the world?

One Saturday a few months back, I was ending my floor duty and about to leave when a young lady walked into the office and asked a few questions about available properties in the area – the more we talked I found she is from Japan, but actually lives in Pretoria, South Africa.   I had a few moments and she was on her way to “see” Calle Ocho, I offered her a ride – ended up touring her through Brickell, the Biscayne corridor & Midtown.  Found out she is on assignment for the Japanese government, has a condo in New York, one in Boston, one in Tokyo and she is thinking, next Miami. Last week I returned from a 10-day trip to Kenya, I happened to write Yuki before I left telling her I would be in Africa. Guess who I had drinks with in Nairobi? My new client is coming back to Miami in November with 2-days set aside to to look at condos.  I believe I have gained a client and a new friend, I have an invite to stay in Pretoria before she returns to Japan.

    Robbie, this is what real estate is supposed to be about, forming relationships. Nothing in this world happens accidently…you were meant to meet this lady and who knows where this will take you in the future. I love stories like yours and I bet there are a lot more of them out there.
