After closing a $10,000 subject-to real estate deal, the hosts buy discounted gift cards at Costco to thank Christina, their escrow officer at GT Title in Utah. They show how Costco's executive membership deal works: spend $80, get $100 in value.
What's going on, everybody? I am here at my favorite store in the whole entire world.
I don't know if you guys can see that. Costco wholesale, baby.
Just like painless wholesale, painless flipping. That's what we do. Costco makes it painless as well. But you're probably wondering, what the heck are you doing in the Costco parking lot? Shouldn't you be working? Check this out. We just did a $10,000 deal, and thanks to working with one of the greatest escrow officers in the world, she was able to help us get it done. She helped us through the paperwork.
She was awesome.
Okay, because this was a subject-to deal. Now look, I'm about to go into Costco. Got my executive membership. Where you guys see that? Executive. I don't play around, guys. Been a member since 2015. About to go into Costco. Why am I here? I'm going to get her a gift card. I want to say thank you to Christina for being awesome, for helping us close deals, helping us navigate. So if you want to join me on my journey right now, I'm here live. I figure why, why the heck not just record it? I love Costco. If you guys want to see where you can get the best gift cards to thank not just escrow officers or just people in general, it's like $80. You spend $80, they give you like a $100 gift card. So it's like, it's a great deal. So let's go check out what gift cards they got.
And, uh, got my Costco card ready, about to go inside.
By the way, guys, you always also want to write a nice little note. I wrote her a nice little note saying, Christina, you're awesome, thank you for everything you do.
Let's go, let's go, going into Costco. Why am I going to Costco again?
Gift card.
I'm gonna get her a gift card because we just did a $10,000 deal. And I would say if it wasn't for her, it would have been tough to get this one done, but she was able to help navigate it Now, if you guys don't ever have ever worked with title companies or escrow officers, they can make the world of difference. There's a lot of ups and downs that go on with deals, but yeah, they can help navigate the paperwork. They can help navigate any issues with title. So definitely you got to make sure you're rocking and working with an awesome title company. But let's go check out those gift cards. I know they got some stuff to Ruth's Chris. I don't know if you've ever heard of Ruth's Chris. It's a really nice restaurant out here. Maybe we'll get her that. She does like food. Who knows, though? All right, time to get— time to get my card checked. Let's go. Hello. There you go. In my favorite store. What do we got, man? I always like seeing the TVs right when I walk in because, uh, I'm telling you, they're just getting cheaper and cheaper. $379 for a giant TV, 86 inches, $949. Are you kidding me? I bought a 55-inch a couple years ago for like $700. Now I can get— you can get a freaking giant one for, uh, like what, $900? It's nuts. So we're going directly to the gift cards again. We're here because I'm getting my extra officer that helps us do— we've done tons of deals with her. She's always awesome to work with, so I'm gonna give her a freaking gift card. And then while I'm here, I might just get some— maybe a rotisserie chicken, Costco, maybe get a hot dog. We'll see. But gotta go find them. Get— oh, those are there. Those are the gift cards, by the way. But yeah, if you've never gotten gift cards here at Costco, they're great deals. I'm about to show you guys right here. I'm about to get this, get this. Oh, nice! Maybe you guys can help me decide. So as you guys can see, it's like, they're like $79, so it's $80, but you get 4 gift cards for $25. So you pay $80, but you get $100. That's a deal. All right, so we got Tucanos Brazilian Grill. I've been to Tucano's. It's all right. It's not that good.
Cupbop?
Nah. Um, Honey Baked Ham? Nah. Ooh, you know, I love a good Ruth's Chris. You guys ever been to Ruth's Chris? That's— ooh, I do like Einstein Bagels too. And they're $40 and you, uh, get 5. So it's all like, you basically, you spend, uh, you spend $30, you get a $50 gift card. You spend $80, you get 100. I'm gonna get her 2. Oh, Crumble. Crumble Cookies, those are good too. Dave Buster's, Spa Finder, all of these are great. What do we got? Stack 571, never even heard of it. Thaumi, Vietnamese food. Pig Jelly in a Jar. Costa Vida. Okay, I think we found the winners. I'm gonna get her one Costa Dita. Okay, you guys haven't been to Costa Dita? It's a bomb restaurant. It's good. It's just like good Mexican food. I like it. It's not like the traditional Mexican food. It's like real. It's like Americanized.
That's good.
I'm gonna get her one of those. 4 gift cards, that's $100 or $80. I'm gonna get her a little nice Ruth's Chris, you know, she can go get a nice steak, you know. So if you guys think that's legit, Where is it? There we go. Thank you, Christina. You're the best escrow officer. GT Title. You guys are in Utah, you need an escrow officer, she's the one to go to. Anyway, I wrote the handwritten letter, so, you know, say hey, thank you. Got some gift cards. And now look, next time you do a deal, go ahead, say thank you. Escrow officers do a ton. They help you out. So anyway, yo, I got someone saying That's legit. Don't know what you mean by that's legit. Do you mean like the Costco gift cards are legit? Like that you spend $80 and you get $100? Is that what you mean? Because I would say that is legit. I spent $160, I spend and I get $200 worth of gift cards. That, that is freaking dope. Purchase 2 $50 gift cards for gifts. $100 spent? Sorry, $200. You get $200, you spend $160. That's what's up. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no.
Yeah, thanks. You're saying that it's legit getting the gift cards? Yeah, no, totally, totally is legit. One, so it's $160 for $200 worth of cards, you know, and I think gift cards, uh, you know, means a lot.
Makes you feel all nice and fuzzy inside.
If I just gave her $200, then, you know, that might not be that, uh, exciting, but now she can use it on, you know, Costa Vida. She can use it on Ruth's Chris, go get a nice steak, maybe some mashed potatoes, get whatever she needs to get. So if you guys— they are huge, they are. But that's, that's actually not the specific gift card that she's getting. It's just like you take it to the front and then they give you the gift card. So that's why they're like freaking big.
All right, everybody.
Well, I hope you enjoyed today hanging out with me while I get that gift card. I'm about to go deliver it to Christina. I'll probably do a follow-up video just showing you me getting there. Won't be live, I'll just shoot a quick video, give it to her, and hopefully she likes it. All right everybody, if you like this, give it a like, share it, and if not, hey, appreciate you spending your time with me. Peace out everybody.
