You never know what a cup of coffee is worth!!!

The other day I was showing some referral clients homes and asked them where they met their agent that had referred them.

The husband told me that he and his wife stopped at a coffee shop every morning on the way to work (they are in the Military) and one morning the owner told them that their coffee was free. They could not believe their luck! Free-nothing is free anymore. So they asked the owner how they got free coffee and he told them that a RE/MAX agent named Steve Cohen had paid for coffee for any soldier in uniform that came into the shop.

The young soldier told me that when he got back from Iraq everyone was thankful and grateful and acknowledged him all the time but now that he had been back awhile everything was the same, he was just another soldier and this free cup of coffee made him feel that someone really cared for him and his wife and that had made his day.

He later wanted to sell his house so he went back to the shop and asked the manager for the agents card. The manager gave him the card and he realized that he had seen him in the shop nearly every day. He called Steve and listed and sold his home and is now working with me on a referral basis at his new home at Ft Bliss in El Paso, Texas

My message here is to Pay it Forward(it was also a movie a few years ago). I am asking that anyone that reads this blog to go to a coffee shop and pay some money for any solider, police officer or fireman to have a free cup of coffee on you. Don't expect anything in return- do it because you really care about the people that take care of you on a daily basis and are not always recognized like the should be. Thank you in advance.
