I would like to share the tale of one of my favorite small businesses.  Eduardo and Josefina are some of my favorite clients.  I met them after they called me about a house I had listed.  As it would happen, when Josefina called me the first time, I was in Mexico and we had a poor connection.  I was able to connect her with by business partner to show her the house, and eventually, after my trip, Josefina called me again.  She later told me that she wanted to work with me because I was near her hometown the first time we spoke.  She was glad that I appreciated her culture and spoke some Spanish.  I eventually helped them find a great house just down the street where I had spent several years of my childhood riding my bike past her house!  This made their transaction extra special to me.
