Working Pro Bono To Spread Joy

We are very fortunate that we have the ability to perform acts through our body, speech and mind effectively. We will not have this opportunity forever. We must use this to benefit others. Practicing generosity is a perfection. Giving your time and effort to help others without charging fees ranks very high in the order of meritorious deeds.

I work in an industry where I see people facing financial hardships lose their homes, financial and social standing and self esteem, thanks to lenders and loan servicers participating in an economic system designed to exploit others. They cannot afford to hire expensive professional services. The same applies to other industries and walks of life. The needy can seldom afford to hire professional help.

Working pro bono means offering your services for good without charging for it or at highly reduced fees. If you can spare a little bit of time to help others, you can light up their lives. I will participate in any such initiatives whenever feasible.

We are generally very good at advising others but going one step further and actually doing it for someone makes a huge difference. When you are hungry, you need food not a recipe. Think.

I have experience performing the following tasks for the US real estate market participants:

* Reviewing title reports.
* Resolving title issues.
* Suggesting foreclosure prevention strategies.
* Identifying and negotiating liens.
* Identifying HOAs, negotiating HOA dues and reviewing HOA rules/docs.
* Performing closing agent functions like preparing Escrow docs, obtaining payoffs, preparing Grant Deed/Warranty deeds, Quit Claim deeds, HUD statement etc.

Please add my skills with my details to your phone/organizer so if you need any assistance you can reach me. I will help whenever possible. Similarly, please offer your skills and contact details to others so they can reach you when they need your help.

We are like a store of seeds. Some are good and some seeds are bad. If we water good seeds, compassion will bloom. Practicing generosity we water the good seeds. When we all realize this, we begin to form mindful and enlightened communities.

Don't worry. I will be there.

The most valuable gift you can give others is your presence. This is the perfection of giving. When we are present we are practicing the perfection of giving. When we are present and mindful we can touch life. We can truly be of service to others.

Working for a real estate service provider I come across many people experiencing great anxiety and stress. Some buying a home for the first time. Some desperate to save their homes. Some trying to prevent a foreclosure.

People rely on real estate professionals to help them through what can easily turn into a nightmare. Most real estate agents are quick to highlight their acheivements, their qualifications,  the number of deals they have completed etc. Only a few say, "Don't worry. I will be there. It can get complicated and frustrating but I'll help you cope with it."

Being there we can do more. We do not have to be Governors or Presidents to make a difference. We don't have to be the CEO to bring about transformation. We just need to be present and mindful. When we are present and mindful we can penetrate the moment. We can heal. We can transform.

Your presence reassures a first time home buyer. Your presence gives confidence to someone trying to prevent a foreclosure. Offer your presence, your serenity, your freshness. These are more valuable than you can imagine.

I am happy to be with you. Lets see what comes along. When we are present, we are aware. We can experience. The food, the music, the love. We can experience life. We can touch happiness.

“The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.”
