My South Bay Christmas Marketing Masterpiece

T’was the night before Christmas throughout the South Bay,
not an agent was stirring, no business in play.
The end of the year, they think a good time to rest,
though very untrue for the best of the best.

My sellers were nestled, all snug in their beds,
while plans for liquidity swam in their heads.
With fresh coats of paint and staged rooms so bright,
dreaming of offers that would surely delight.

And I with my laptop, in full REALTOR® mode,
tweaked listing details so it would explode.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my desk to see what was the matter.

Away to the window, I flew like a flash,
tripped over a lockbox, and cursed at the crash.
The moon on a Tesla parked out by the curb,
lent the feel of wealth in that quiet suburb.

When what to my wondering eyes did appear,
but a miniature drone, in crisp air so clear.
Flown by a buyer, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment this must be their pick.

More rapid than Caltrain, so quickly they came,
and they whistled and shouted, calling features by name:
“Now Marble! Now Miele! Now detached ADU!
Oh hot tub, oh pool, oh home with a view!”

To the open house they’d fly, every which way,
with offers in hand, and the sellers to sway.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard by the door,
the tapping of heels on the polished wood floor.

As I drew in my head and was turning around,
in walked a buyer, what treasure they’d found!
Loving the home with its huge primary suite,
knowing to get it they’d have to compete.

The sellers, delighted, felt giddy inside,
with visions of dollars the sale would provide.
Disclosures reviewed by buyers with care,
accepting the home without any repair.

The contracts were drafted, the terms were all fine,
with contingencies waived, the offers did shine!
And soon comes the close, with plenty of cheer,
as plans for next chapters brought joy to the year.

So here’s to my clients, the buyers, and sellers,
the lenders, inspectors, and all market dwellers.
As I drove through the Bay, I exclaimed in delight,
“Happy closings to all, and to all a good night!”
