Mondrian's Black Lines

Art students are exhibited as examples of chromatic harmony Mondrian's famous paintings; and they are urged to change some color so that they realize (if they really realize) that they have just broken that harmony so laboriously sought. And the students, anxious, look for the relationship between colors and shapes, trying to grasp that coordination that seems casual and that, however, also seems unique, as if there was no other way to achieve it than the one in front of them. And sometimes, only sometimes, someone notices the black lines that separate the colored rectangles; in the black lines, of the same thickness, which really enable that empathetic harmony between colors.

We, in our daily real estate activity, feel, precisely, those black lines; those that involve the union between different colors and interests (seller and buyer, for example); those that frame different aspects and forms in a homogeneous way. We feel part of the effort to achieve the coordination of interests and colors; part of the negotiation necessary for the final objective to be (beautifully) acceptable to us.

Of course, however, this is a way of looking at it; but in a beautiful way, at last. We believe in the beauty of our profession: difficult, because it tries to reconcile conflicting interests, colors that do not seem to coordinate initially; it is difficult, because the simplicity of the final solution, of the agreement, of the negotiation, requires a lot, a lot of effort; committed, because we put our time and activity in solfa to achieve harmony between wills that are not peers.

We are black lines in real estate activity. And we exist, precisely, to frame the most beautiful colors of the best real estate operations.
