Meet Victor, Our Painter
March 4th, 2008 Categories: Buyers, Faces In The Crowd
Real estate agents like us depend on a large number of specialists to help us best serve our clients - not the least of which is a good painter. Almost every house we sell in the Annapolis area - or one of our buyers buys - needs a least some touch up paint, others need much more. We often call Victor to get the job done.
Victor is from El Salvador and he’s been painting homes here in the United States for more than 30 years. For some reason he always calls me Mr. Ken - not Mr. Haedrich - and I’ve long since stopped correcting him because it’s sort of cute and has grown on me.
Victor is reliable, reasonable and does good work. That’s important, but that’s not why I like him so much. What I like is his attitude. He’s always doing great, and he’ll tell you so. He seems to love his work, and he has a wonderful smile, too, as you can see.
On 60 Minutes the other week there was a segment on the happiest countries in the world. The people of Denmark ranked highest on the happiness scale. America came in something like number 26. They should have talked to a few more people like Victor.
Incidentally, here’s a photo of the home whose interior Victor is painting, a listing we have in South River Colony.
It’s located just across the South River from Annapolis, in Edgewater. If you’re shopping for a Colonial-style home in a beautiful, amenity-rich community, you’ll want to check out this area. Generally speaking, the homes here start in the mid-$800’s and go up from there. If you’d like to preview this gorgeous 5 bedroom home, just give us a call. We can also put you in touch with Victor.
