A "Heart" Warming Story

From Michael Hull in Anaheim Hills office, in his own words:

           "I went door-knocking yesterday and the second door i knocked on was answered by a man who was leasing a house.  I proceeded to tell him who I was and what company I was with. I then asked him if he might be interested in selling his home because I have two buyers who really wanted to live in his neighborhood.  He explained that he was leasing this home, but had a friend that really needs to sell his home ASAP and told me that he would pass on my information. OK, no problem, so I went on my way knocking on doors.
             After knocking on two more homes, I heard someone calling my name.  I turned around and the same man was walking towards me.  He said, "Call my buddy and go up to his house." I did just that and knocked on the door and was greeted by a man with no shirt on and stitches going down his chest. He said he was sorry and explained that he just had a triple bypass surgery. We continued talking and he came out and told me that he was losing his home and the auction day was tomorrow.
       I knew at that point it was a long shot; I would have to have the bank work with me in a day or  sell the house in a day, and I knew that to selling a house and closing escrow needed a minimum of five days. I only had one option. So, today I spent all day running around trying to get it done for him. The bank reps said,  "You're asking me to do pretty much the impossible here, you know that right?"  I said yes. If all else failed I was going to go to the court and file bankruptcy to stop the foreclosure.  We got it all ready to file and I only had 30 minutes to get to the Santa Ana Courthouse. I got there at 5:01pm and they were closed.
       I thought to myself,  "How am I going to tell this guy that they are selling his house tomorrow and there is nothing I can do?  I tried everything!"  I sat in front of the court thinking about how to tell a man who just had open-heart surgery and who has four kids that he has to support that he will  be kicked out of his home. Five minutes went by and he called me and said, "Mike thank you so much for everything you have done. You are the reason I get another chance to sell my home outside of foreclosure. I just looked on the bank website and you got it postponed for another three weeks. Thank you, you did all of this knowing you probably weren't going to get anything out of it but you wanted to help."
        It's times like these that make me love my job. I believe if you do the thing for some reason it will just workout."
