[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 576192, member: 1722"] Thank you for the good thoughts everyone, I truly appreciate them. Sharon~ Duckie has always had and will always have a very difficult demeanor. I've found what works best is to play to strengths while doing what we can to mitigate her weaknesses. Natural consequences are the rule here. One interesting thing was her birthday gift. Duckie is a very strong viola player but would like to branch out to other strings so husband and I got her a violin for her birthday. She was absolutely thrilled and picked it up and immediately started playing it quite well. This may not sound like a big accomplishment but viola and violin music are played on different clefs (alto vs treble). She was transposing her viola music in her head to violin effortlessly. Incredible. DDD~ I'm only upset because she is a dear friend that is still fairly new to real estate (just over a year). She went way above and beyond to make our new house sale happen and so I feel she "deserves" the commission on an easy sale like our old house. I anticipate we would have had a deal, contract signed. within 4 weeks of listing based on sales trends in our area. We've actually had a number go through since Christmas which, I would think, is unusual for our area because no one wants to move in winter. We do plan on getting her a nice "thank you" gift when husband's work bonus is paid out in two weeks. I'm thinking a day at the spa, she really earned it. [/QUOTE]
