integrity: In the Real Estate Business, There Are Few Feelings Better Than This - 04/06/12 07:31 AM
Last night, I listed a great house for a very nice couple in Leander. I expect it to sell quickly, and they're looking to buy a home roughly twice as expensive nearby. Two days ago, the seller called me when I was on my way to the office. He mentioned that he works for a friend of mine (one of my best friends, actually), and that my friend suggested that he call me for any real estate needs. During the course of our conversation about his house, he mentioned that he was scheduled to meet with another agent the next day, … (22 comments)

integrity: Integrity - 08/07/07 01:40 PM
I just posted on another blog about "integrity" and what it means to me personally. Working as a full-time Austin Texas real estate agent and broker/owner for almost eleven years, I have certainly seen my share of agents who lack integrity (and honesty and compassion and knowledge and a host of other desirable characteristics).
To me, integrity means that no matter where you find me (church, home, work, etc.), my actions are consistent. In other words, I don't alter my behavior to suit the group that I am with. Yes, I may have more fun with my friends sometimes, but I wouldn't be … (13 comments)
