High Tide

So much rain!  Mother Nature was kind to us, but Yeppoon and its surrounds didn’t fare as well with so many homes damaged.  It’s times like this that you have to admire the SES, volunteers and other organisations that give unconditional assistance to others.  A big THANK YOU to all for your help!

With the high tide and cyclonic conditions over the weekend, it was amazing to see so many people from our local community venturing out to see water over the Avenues, Flinders Parade and the overflow of Einbunpin Lagoon.  Our Saturday open home inspections and appointments were cancelled due to the road closures, and even though this was not ideal, we did have to think of everyone’s safety – the sellers, buyers as well as ourselves - after all, we are human!

Emotions - there is so much information available on this subject but when it comes to dealing with human emotions, some of us just don’t know how to react when strong emotions are involved.  As agents, we are faced with many emotional situations - divorces, deaths, family breakdowns, court orders and illnesses to name a few.  We become confidantes to the elderly whose family don’t understand, spouses who are lost, and families who can’t cope.  Sometimes it’s an emotional roller coaster and we have to stay impartial, mindful of our roles and respectful of those we are working with.  Computers and books can tell us some things, but if you need a genuine listening ear or someone who will understand, we are here to help.  Just call...
