193 Beacon Back Bay Boston MA
 
38 people moved through one of my listings open houses in one day several months ago.  We got our buyer in the first week and under agreement in 13 days.  Shortly thereafter one of the people who viewed the property came to me to represent him as his buyers agent to acquire a similar property. All good.  We located a number of properties and made an offer on one of them.  This buyer is a first time buyer and at the age of 50 he decided it was about time he stopped living … (7 comments)

Honoring the Deal - 08/15/11 09:59 AM

Honoring the deals you make is essential for maintaining and building your relationships.  Any good sales person can convince someone of almost anything in the short run, but if you are not fact based and honest you will get caught.  Once you are caught in a dishonesty, or not honoring the deals you have made it will be almost impossible to make that ground up again with that person, or with any of the people that person knows.  As an agent it is easy to make promises like, "I will get back to you with that answer." but so many … (5 comments)

Listening and Learning - 08/09/11 12:57 PM
Absolutely every buyer and seller has a story, some underlying reason for their behavior and actions.  Buyers have a bull’s eye they are looking for, and Sellers have price point; all any broker needs to do is listen and learn.  Ask a buyer to describe their favorite home.  They will tell you a story about sitting around a big dining room floor, or a tire swing in the back yard.  The associate fond memories to those spots, listen to this.  Look to deliver to them just such a home.
A seller bought their home for a reason, why, you should ask?  … (3 comments)
