I recently started working with a veteran client, and it brought back a memory from early in my real estate career.
At the time, I was with a different franchise brokerage and was helping a buyer using a VA loan. I remember finding out there was an administrative fee of around $500 that couldn’t be charged to my veteran client. Instead of asking him to pay it, I paid it myself. I would gladly do that again for someone who has served our country. What stuck with me, though, was that the brokerage wouldn’t even consider waiving the fee.
Fast forward to today.
After seriously considering walking away from real estate, I joined Park Place Realty Group. Like many agents, I became discouraged by how often the industry seemed to put profits ahead of people. I wanted to be somewhere that shared my values.
This week, I received an email from Park Place reminding all of us that administrative fees are waived for our veteran clients.
It may seem like a small gesture, but to me, it says everything.
It’s one of the many reasons I’m so grateful to be part of this brokerage. Park Place truly cares, not just about its agents, but about every client we have the privilege of serving. The focus isn’t on squeezing every dollar out of a transaction. It’s about doing what’s right, treating people with respect, and honoring those who have sacrificed for our country.
I’m proud to be part of a company whose values align with my own. ❤️🇺🇸
