...And the Award Goes to...

So as I mentioned in a previous post, Lyon Real Estate is holding its annual awards ceremony this coming Friday. Today at my weekly office meeting, they gave some "other" awards...these are the inside jokes at the office that definitely will not be recognized at our company awards ceremony. So what award do you think I received? Any bets?

I received the award for "The Longest Escrow" of the year in 2008. This particular transaction was a short sale with Countrywide that took 5.5 months, and LOTS of negotiation (and renegotiation) on my part.

Har-dee-har guys! The office roared with laughter when this award was presented to me. They all know that short sales are a big chunk of my transactions...not all of them take so long. I just had another one that was approved after only 11 days!
