I did my Things to Be Thankful For list and checked it twice. Goes something like this. Feel free to discuss.


  • Appreciation for all things around you. Homes in good locations, like urban centers, waterfronts, or neighborhoods with good schools, tend to appreciate in value more quickly.

  • Promoting Rental real estate investing. It can provide passive income.

  • Debt leverage: It can be an advantage in real estate investing.

  • Mortgage pay down: Paying down a mortgage can be a positive aspect of real estate. Time to celebrate when you are Mortgage-Free.

  • Great Mortgage brokers like Brad Vokins. They can be awesome AND save the day.

  • Tax benefits: because Real estate investing can provide tax benefits.

  • GPS – back in the day it would take hours to plan multiple showings, especially in remote rural ares. Well, not any more.

  • Other tech advances. The use of E-Signing and other new tools render all the old methods obsolete. Saves hours of back and forth travel getting deals done.

  • Great clients. They make the job fun and the friendlier and more flexible, the better.

  • Bad clients. Why not? They make the good clients look that much better AND keep us on our toes.

  • Good home Inspectors. They can literally save your butt by making sure the place your client is buying doesn’t turn into a money pit.

  • Good RE lawyers. See Home Inspectors. They also shed light on situations you may have missed. But do them a favour. Don’t close a deal on June 30.

  • Tolerant family and friends. I can’t count the number of times I got a call from a client just when we were heading out on vacation. We need to do an offer. Right Now!! Yikes.


    If you're looking to thank a real estate agent, you can:

  • Write a review on their website or write them a personal note

  • Refer a client to them or many.

  • Offer to be a reference

  • Give them a gift card, especially a gas card

  • Give them a gift related to their interests

  • Donate to a cause that's important to them

  • Share how much they've helped you from the heart

  • Write a thank you note and/or give them personalized pen or card holder
