Emotionally Attached MIKE BUDER When it’s time to say goodbye to a house you love. I remember being ver y i mpressed w it h the property on my first v isit. The 100 year-old farm house shone w it h caref ul restoration and charm. The acreage that surrounded it was dotted with heirloom fruit trees a nd orga n ic pat hw ay s winding through a variety of f l o w e r a n d v e g g i e g a rden s . T he ow ner, and mother of one of my recent clients, wanted my opinion as to its va lue. Tr ue comps were ha rd to find, but we came up with a plan for pricing. Howe ver, a f ter a long interview, we determined she wasn’t emot iona lly ready to sell. Our relat ionsh ip developed into a warm friendship, and two years later she finally was ready to say goodbye. Years of taking care of the house on her own (after her husband died) had taken its toll. She longed for a new vision and new adventures. It d id n’t ta ke long to get an offer, and fortunately it was a cash buyer with plenty of motivation. The couple, who owned and adjacent property, wanted to buy the house for their d a u g ht e r a nd s on-i nlaw. Getting a loan on the property might have been difficult. It’s a built on a skirted post and pier foundation. In addition, at the time, there was no heat source to the second f loor be d room s. T he
process of sel l i ng wa s an emotional one. The property was filled with memor ies-her ch i ld ren had played in the nearby c r e e k , h e r d a u g ht e r ’s wedding was held in one of the gardens, a dog was bu r ied u nder neat h a tree in the back yard. At times, it proved difficult to w a l k t hat f i ne l i ne between friendship and a professional relationship. F o r t u n a t e l y, h e r s o n and daughter, also both excited for their mom’s freedom from the upkeep of t he home, helped t h r ou g h t h e d i f f i c u l t moments. The children threw a birthday party for their mom, the weekend before she moved out. Guests gat hered in t he ga rdens on a wa r m summer day and enjoyed libations, delicious food, and shared fond stories. It was the perfect time to say goodbye to a well-loved home.

The Leading Edge
Good Leaders Make Good Decisions RENEE N. HALE, DSL Decision-ma k ing is inev itable. Each one of u s mu st m a ke a nd ca r r y out decisions ever y day. Some people ma ke qu ick decisions ; ot h e r s c a n’t s e e m t o arrive at a decision. Our decisions a f fect ot hers and ourselves; they may concern trivial matters or life-and-death situations. We ca n’t avoid ma k ing decisions, so why not do everything in our power to become sk i l led a nd prepared to make the best decisions possible? As Will Rogers once said, “Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.” Therefore, consider t h ree keys i n decision-making: First, k now your personal values because they will guide you in all decisions. W hat are the non-negotiable principles in your life? You live by these standards. Knowing y ou r o w n v a l ue s c a n narrow down the choices in decision-ma k ing For example, if one of your p e r s on a l v a l u e s w e r e honesty, then a decision to avoid t he tr ut h in a situation would be out of the question. Roy Disney went so fa r a s to say, “It’s not ha rd to ma ke decisions when you know what your values are.” Second, i nvolve t he r ig ht people. W h ich relat ionsh ips f ig u re i n your decision? If this is a work environment, who m ig ht you col laborate with to address the issue
appropr iately? A sk i ng for i nput f rom ot hers, becoming well informed of per t inent facts, a nd consider i ng d i f ferent poi nt s of v iew a re a l l ways of expanding your capacit y to a r r ive at a sound decision on a ny matter. Third, create scenarios to t h i n k a decision t hrough to its outcome and implications. Name t he steps in a decision and describe the c on se quenc e s of e ach step. You c a n do t h i s b y f or m i n g “I f-T h e n” statements: “If I do this, then that w ill happen.” The emerging details of the “If-Then” statements clarify the results of the decision. Thinking about what a decision ultimately means for you and others w ill help you ma ke the best decision. Leadership ex per t John Maxwell encourages, “Successful leaders have the courage to take action wh i le ot hers hesitate.” Ref lect on your va lues, your relationships, and the consequences of your decisions. Then, act with confidence. Enjoy making good decisions! Dr. Renée N.
